The best software investment I’ve ever made.

FUS3 360 on

I’ve been using affinity photo since 2016 and to this day, this is still the best software purchase I’ve ever made. I’ve been able to create professional level work for many clients through out the years using affinity photo. When I tell photoshop users that in fact have never used photoshop, they don’t believe me until I show them my workflow. The affinity apps/software is/are truly amazing and a no brained especial I todays subscription service era.

Better Than Photoshop

samisamii on

I was amazed at the lack of features Adobe’s iPad version had. Felt bare bones. Meanwhile Affinity’s has everything I need. The IU does feel a bit cluttered, but I’m getting used to it.

My new favorite picture editing app!!

ThatOneGuyFromSchool on

I used to use Photoshop Mix, but then Adobe canned the app so that people would use their new app instead, which requires a paid subscription…I was upset at first, but now I’m glad since I never would have found this app! It’s great, it has all of the things I needed and more =) Would definitely recommend, 10/10

Affinity Photo

Geneleon1 on

WOW! What a wonderful option to Photoshop. Been using this app since it very first came out and I am very impressed. I started out with photoshop 1.5 many years ago in the newspaper/graphic design world. I have been in that industry and photography for more than 30 years.this new app is quite a bit less in cost. But a very powerful program to say the least.give it a try nothing to loose there. After you get used to the layout of the tools and what it’s capable of I sure you will love it as much as Ido!!! Thank you Affinity!!!

LUTs still don’t even work

Imp Sus on

I cannot import the LUTs I’ve purchased nor free ones online from different sources. Why is this feature advertised if it doesn’t work

Messes up your files, loses your work! Infuriating and buggy

joe bob 999 on

Besides all the times it freezes, crashes, and otherwise acts weird, this app does a very infuriating thing and saves your files improperly. Twice now, I spent hours on something, made sure to save it (multiple times to be sure) before closing the app, and still, the next time I opened the file, it’s an earlier version of my work. This is not user error, I’m a 20 year professional and this has happened twice now. I am not using this app again until it’s fixed. Erasing my work is unacceptable!

New user

thonalicia on

As a new user, I have to learn a new language. Simple things like save as. how do I save as? I am used to saving as, giving it a title, choosing which format JPEG or GPS. And saving it someplace. I haven’t figured that out yet.

This would be a killer app if the UI wasn’t such a mess.

bdado3485 on

The UI is a hot mess, plain and simple. Simple…. Apps are supposed to be workable and intuitive. If you want an app to work in modern times, then it has to be so easy to use that a five year-old can pick it up and have it figured out within 5 to 10 minutes. But with the clunky mess that’s Affinity Photo, that’s never going to happen. If you need to post poorly constructed lessons in your app to teach the the users to work it (if they could even get those to work for that matter), then you’re doing something wrong. Thankfully, I didn’t pay full price for this.

Why

Blind Henry McClean on

Why do I have to go through a hundred options in the Apple pencil double-dropdown menu to disable switch the double-tap action from Undo to absolutely any other available option (because, it’s annoying)? Why can’t there be ONE toggle for “Double-tap to Undo?”

What Affinity used to be, for the record

Ray96m on

Affinity used to be a $29 one-time purchase. You could download it and use it without having to sign in to anything. It was $29 for Affinity Photo and $29 for Affinity Designer. Now, for version 2 as they say (because version one is no longer available or supported) you have to log in. As a note, Canva also owns it now so I suspect subscriptions will come at some point. Basically all the charges are cash grabs.
