Affinity – Professional Creative Software

From the smoothest photo editing and design software to next-gen page layout, Affinity is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with creative technology.

Last year I got an iPad pro as a gift. I’ve been meaning to do more with it especially photo editing and I finally got around to looking into it.

But…every damn photo app seems to be a subscription. The ones that aren’t are very basic.

Until I found Affinity Photo 2.

Holy hell, an extremely full featured photo app with no sub?! It’s like Lightroom and Photoshop rolled into one for a one-time payment of $A30.

I took a few days to learn it and once you do it’s very good.

For the cost of buying Affinity forever I could get Adobe’s photo plan for just 2 months!

For someone like me who will use this stuff lightly, going some months without using it at all, subscription software sucks.

Well done to Affinity for providing a high quality alternative. Give them a look - they also have Windows and Mac versions.

This sounds like an ad but it’s not, I’m just so tired of having subs pushed in my face - especially on the app store - that when I find a good alternative I feel like shouting about it!

    Sure. Linux is less than 3% of desktop and laptop market share. No one cares and those that do know how to use Wine.

        That includes pre-rendering by Google servers, though, since they run Linux and Chromium. They’re not real users so you can knock that down by 0.5%, at least.
