    I mainly use Affinity Photo for YouTube thumbnail creation and it’s able to do pretty much everything I need. It’s not quite as intuitive as Photoshop, but considering you get to buy it once and never have to worry about a subscription, it’s a worthwhile tradeoff. More accurate object selection/removal tools would be nice to see in the future.
  • Better than Photoshop

    The Affinity suite has been amazing. I started using it in 2019 and fully transitioned my workflow to Affinity in 2023.
  • Great app

    I really wish they would make a photo for the phone, and add AI
  • Lightweight Alternative to Photoshop

    Decided to try this app as my 1st step in making the transition from Adobe to Affinity. After the 1st couple of days in my Trial, I found this app more responsive than Photoshop. I had been using Photoshop for the past Decade (since 2015) and their app is getting too large and complex for me to continue using it. Within the past year, whenever I try to Update Photoshop, they constantly keep Failing and renders the existing version previously installed unusable. Not to mention the high cost for a monthly subscription. The AI features from Photoshop are tempting but I hardly use them and it’s a sacrifice I will take en route to my complete transition. I will most likely pay a 1-time Charge after my Trial ends.

  • No simple way to crop layers

    The user community has been complaining about the lack of this feature for years. You need to use clumsy work-arounds.

    2020 purchased Affinity Photo, updated to photo 2 a short time later. Recently reset mini Mac to factory default. Attempted to download app from cloud following reset got a “7 Day Free trial?” Customer Service can’t locate purchase receipt on my account? They searched my account? Why would I have an account plus multiple licensed add-ons purchased through ‘My Account?’ if I didn’t purchase the app? And, How do you explain downloading ‘hassle free’ my Pixelmator Pro app, purchased during the same time period I purchased and downloaded the Affinity Photo 2 app? Better Customer Service? Presently not satisfied with HARD SELL Affinity harassment when all I want is the app reloaded and functional through my Affinity account.
