#PHOTOSHOP VS AFFINITY PHOTO FULL#

Photoshop feels like it needs a full blown college course to learn and use effectively. The main focus is to have a program that can handle some sky replacements, green up some grass and introduce some flamboyant Photo layers for this next year so the windows don't look blown out. So yes It could have some slow downs that can make the product impractical. One of the classes I watched seemed to have a lag. Affinity had great intro with another Photo group having a couple people rave about it. My Lightroom and other programs are legit. So for now, I'm outsourcing my photo edits and looking at some privateer version of Adobe Master. I spend so much time learning about new products rather than using them and advertising. I've had a difficult time getting used to Photoshop. Plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 - Adobe Camera RAW looks like a great plugin to get the sense of Lightroom. How fast is editing RAW files for you? My experience is awful and so slow that it's impractical.

Affinity looks and feels like Photoshop if it were to invite its users to participate in the direction of designing and developing its tool. Much like Inkscape is to Illustrator - they just come off as an idealistic open source poor-man's version of the professional tools. I'm none too impressed with people who tout 'GiMP' as being the alternative to Photoshop.

I don't have any HDR photos left to play with as I purge my RAW files after my work is done - but I'm curious to try their HDR merge, especially as it has a batch option. It supports PSD files perfectly (although Smart Objects do get rendered as raster layers - likely using a built in PSD fallback).ДЄ feature I found that I adore is that if I double click on a layer, it will zoom and fit the layer's content to the window. Hopefully that'll change.ДЄs a replacement for Photoshop - the tools work VERY well, the UI is VERY easy to navigate and immediately familiarize myself with. the adjustments panel is neat, but I don't like how each tool necessitates a secondary window to tweak. The RAW editing is VERY slow for me - which is not good. Plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 - Very impressed with Affinity.
