Das Programm könnte Photoshop definitiv ablösen, wenn die Usability besser wäre. Pros Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist unschlagbar: kein Abo. Alle wichtigen Funktionen von Photoshop sind vorhanden. Cons Es sind keine Aktionen möglich, keine Shortcuts programmierbar. Viele halbautomatischen Funktionen, die ich aus Photoshop kenne, fehlen – zum Beispiel wiederholt Affinity keine Filter mit Befehl-F wenn man das Dokument wechselt. Man muss viele Funktionen, wie das Zuweisen eines CMYK-Profils sehr umständlich jedes Mal neu auswählen, die man leicht auf einen eigenen Tastenbefehl legen könnte. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) ich bin gewechselt, weil ich kein Abo bezahlen wollte. Review Source TM Tia M.

Pros I like that it's like Photoshop but half the price and it has a perpetual license. Cons I was a little bummed it doesn't have a filter library, but it's not that bad that I wouldn't recommend it. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) I can't afford the subscription and the questionable business practices that they were doing at the time didn't sit well with me.

Pros Con la versión actualizada (versión 2) ha mejorado considerablemente el revelado de archivos RAW. También cuenta con una mejoría en la corrección de colores. Cons He tenido algunas problemáticas para integrar tabletas graficas, requiere configuración para ello.

Acquistata una volta la licenza ad un prezzo più che competitivo il programma è tuo per sempre. Pros Un dei vantaggi più importanti per il quale ho deciso di passare ad Affinity Photo è stato il prezzo. Si acquista la licenza un volta e il programma è tuo per sempre (molto spesso in promozione), al contrario di Photoshop che richiede un abbonamento mensile o annuale. Per il resto Affinity Photo ha le stesse caratteristiche di Photoshop in più integra un completo strumento di editing fotografico che può tranquillamente sostituire un altro colosso di Adobe, cioè Adobe Lightroom. Il funzionamento è molto simile ad Photoshop, l'interfaccia è molto semplice e chiara. Anche i menù sono tanti ma facilmente fruibili. In più Affinity Photo integra in se la libreria di Pexels, in questo modo dallo stesso programma è possibile facilmente scaricare immagini presente in questo famoso portale. Perciò chi ha esperienza con Photoshop non resterà deluso e non rimpiangerà il software di casa Adobe. Cons Affinity Photo è un programma molto completo e molto ben sviluppato. Ciò che soffre ora rispetto al suo competitor diretto, Photoshop, è che il software sviluppato da Adobe integra in sè lo strumento dell'intelligenza artificiale, che in molto casi può essere d'aiuto. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Ho deciso di cambiare perché Photoshop costa troppo ed è fruibile solo sotto forma di abbonamento.

Junior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good alternative to photoshop" September 18, 2023 4.0 Nevertheless, I love affinity photo, I use it daily and I've learned to work with its problems.It's an affordable piece of software, and since version 2, it's been offering some particularly interesting features.It doesn't yet compete with Adobe Photoshop, but it's getting closer. Pros Affinity photo's interface is quick and easy to learn. The business model is interesting, with a one-time payment system (no subscriptions).It includes many of the same functions as Photoshop, making it suitable for a wide range of users. Cons On the other hand, Affinity isn't perfect: it's not optimized for Windows, and lags and bugs are common, even on powerful computers. Another particularly disconcerting point is its layer management, which is totally at odds with the competition.For example, there is no notion of a locked layer, which can prove problematic.

CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complete and very affordable" March 24, 2024 5.0 I enjoy using Affinity Photo and Affinity designer, both are great alternatives to Photoshop and Illustrator. Even if Affinity Photo is not perfect, the pricing remains its most attractive quality. The tools are not perfect and there is a learning curve if you come from Photoshop but Serif is doing a great job and their Workbooks are a great starting point to learn the rope. I highly recommend buying it as we never know prices might go up some day. Pros \- Amazing value, the pricing is really low if you consider the features that are packed. - Great alternative to Photoshop - Many tools and file support formats Cons \- The project file formats are Affinity file formats, I understand some file formats are proprietary but it make sharing a project file complicated it you do not own Affinity Photo. - The interface sometimes gets slow and noticed a lot of CPU usage, not sure if it is my old Macbook or bad coding. I know that softwares are usually optimized for latest computers but feel Affinity is a bit memory hogging. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) The main reason is the pricing, at $69 as a one-time payment, Photoshop is no longer worth paying for.

December 7, 2022 5.0 I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a professional grade graphics image tool that is easy to use. If you are use to working in "Layers" you will find the learning curve isn't that bad like many programs out there. I use this mostly to create logos for clients, PNG images for YouTube content, and creating text and graphics to use in video editing software. I've even made multi layered scenes/graphics using Affinity Photo in my films and animated them. Want examples? Go look at the thumbnails, Community Tab, and even watch some of the videos ( Episode Seven of "Selkirk Mountain Sasquatch with Bill Bisson" where I do an animated moon over a lake at night image. ) The channel is Selkirk Range Sasquatch! All done using Affinity Photo! It's the only graphic software I use! Pros First off this is a professional grade software with lots of tools available to make quality graphics and images. Second; The cost is completely affordable ( Pay for it initially and no ongoing monthly or yearly fees ) It does everything I need to do to create dynamic Designs, images, thumbnails, logos, text & graphics for promotional materials. Cons I haven't figured out yet all of the tools available in Affinity, so this may just be me, but when wanting to adjust a single layer using the options in the adjustment tab - it wants to adjust all of the layers. I get around it by opening a new window, copy/paste, adjust image as needed and copy/paste back into main project. Reason for choosing Affinity Photo I did look at other products out there and studied the reviews - Affinity Photo was the best option that I found on the market. Review Source Jeremy B. Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gotta Get Them All, Part Two" September 30, 2021 5.0 I’ve already said plenty in my review for Affinity Designer that I’d repeat here, and to clarify, I have many good things to say. But to expand on my glowification of this software and this brand, I love having access to a competent photo design tool that gives me unlimited use of layers, effects, fancy brushes, useful warping tools, filters, filters, and more filters, connections to free stock photo sites (even if they did end integration with Unsplash to save on costs), and even smart images for mock-up designs, all without having to pay for it twice, three times, four times, or whatever the going price is for other premium design tools made by companies that start with the letter A. I’m a writer, not a graphic designer. But with as much as I use Affinity Photo these days, I’m starting to wonder if that statement is still true. Love this app, love this brand, and I happily support any product they make, including and especially Affinity Photo. Pros To echo what I wrote in the pros section of my review for Affinity Designer, the main reason I bought this was for its integration with Affinity Publisher. I’m a writer, and I develop my own books, and I wanted a tool that could help me make them without a costly subscription. In my search for an alternative to Adobe InDesign, I found Affinity Publisher, and that search also led me to its two siblings, Photo and Designer. Having the ability to use Photo’s tools within an app for designing publishing interiors seemed like a no-brainer for me. But that only mattered if I’d actually bought Photo. So I did. And now I use it more than any other tool in my development library. It’s so easy to use, yet has so many tutorials available that even those who find it difficult at first can figure it out soon enough. It has also effectively replaced Corel’s PaintShop Pro as my go-to for inexpensive photo compositing. It’s become the primary reason my book covers look any good now. And the website I’ve been working on since November of last year: all page images come from composites made with Affinity Photo, and my site couldn’t look any better. Affinity Photo makes me look good, and I have no hair. If that’s not enough reason to get it, then the low one-time cost should seal the deal. Cons Again, to reiterate my cons from Affinity Designer (and this is fair because they both use the same architecture and share many of the same interface tools), I’m not experienced enough with even higher-end products (like Adobe Photoshop, for example) to make claims about the features they offer that Affinity Photo doesn’t. That said, I do know what I want Photo to do that it can’t do, and what I want it to do is to import Photoshop “actions,” which I think are just macros, so that I can buy the good ones off Design Cuts or some other online design resource and use them in my photos. In other words, I want it to do what Adobe Photoshop can do, but so far it can only do about 80%. That’s plenty, but it’s not everything. I want everything. I also want a pizza. We can’t have everything. (But I can have a pizza.) Switched from [PaintShop Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233262/PaintShop-Pro/) As much as I like PaintShop Pro, it's always felt like it's a few years behind everyone else, and when I realized that Affinity Photo does everything and more that PaintShop Pro can do (without having to buy annual updates to get the "latest" features), not switching seemed stupid. Review Source Jeremy D. Lead Designer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stunning Value for Money" May 5, 2022 5.0 Affinity Photo is a breeze to learn and use. I've been long-frustrated with Adobe's pricey subscription model and bloated Creative Cloud software that runs in the background. Affinity Photo released me from this yolk; it launches quickly, and I got it on sale with Affinity Designer (vector editor) for only $79 CANADIAN. Wow. Pros Affinity Photo gives Adobe Photoshop a real run for its money. It can do everything that PS can do, and the interface is almost identical, so longtime users won't find it difficult to switch. And there's no expensive subscription. A perpetual license costs the same as 1-2 months of Adobe CC! Cons There are some crucial keyboard/mouse differences that will cause confusion for most Adobe users, and the default text is just too small on Retina monitors. Alternatives considered [Pixelmator Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/185948/Pixelmator-Pro-1-3-3-Prism/) Reason for choosing Affinity Photo I found Pixelmator slightly more confusing. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Adobe is expensive and bloated. Affinity Photo is quick and light. Review Source Johnny K. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affinity Photo" July 9, 2021 4.0 I use almost image work with Affinity Photo. This wonderful application can co work with Affinity Designer for every design work process like Pixel to Vector. Even need to fix and feature, Perpetual License and Low product price is Big merit. Most of all, the result of this products are good for serious project. Pros 1 : No Subscription Policy. It's perfect perpetual license and price is low. 2 : Fast navigate and can handling big project. I have done one massive composition file over 10 Giga and it works. 3 : external plug-in compatible. i use neat image photoshop plug-in with affinty photo without any problem. 4 : Panorama and stack (include astrophotography) feature is excellent. 5 : Refine feature. This process made me spend less effort and time to make mask from fuzzy object. Cons 1 : User can't change scratch disk. if you face "disk full error" you can't proceed until empty you system disk. Let user change or add external disk as scratch disk option need. 2 : Selecting layer from working screen is very frustrating. It means can't select wanted layer among overlapped layers with right click list checking. User must find in layer palette. this is horrible when many layer project. 3 : Little bit training need to using mask workflow. newbie user confusing when work with mask layer. also, I hope to let user enable transform separately with mask. 4 : No Batch RAW processing. 5 : No response to user's question.

The interface was easy to learn and the features were very versatile. I was able to easily improve the quality of my photos and add personal touches with ease. I would definitely recommend this software to anyone looking for an easy-to-use photo editor. Pros Affinity Photo is a powerful photo editing software that has everything you need to get the most out of your photos. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, you'll love the easy-to-use interface and the wide range of features. And the low price, you just buy it once! Cons While I really like the wide range of features and easy-to-use interface, I didn't like that there wasn't a built-in way to create photo collages. It would be great if there was an easier way to combine several photos into one cohesive image. But with some easy tutorials you can make these really fast! Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) I made the switch from Adobe Photoshop because Affinity Photo is much more affordable and has a wide range of features that are equally as powerful as Photoshop. Affinity Photo is also much more user-friendly, making it a great choice for beginners or pros alike. Review Source PW Philip W. Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affinity Photo is a great alternative to Photoshop" November 12, 2023 5.0 Pros Price is the initial driver to move to Affinity photo. It offers all the facilities of a top end photo manipulation software package without the price. It does everything I need. Cons Coming from Photoshop the learning curve to do certain things was the biggest hurdle, but not insurmountable. I do miss some of the enhancements of photoshop, but as I rarely used them all, I found other ways to achieve the same effect. Think photoshop in the 90's! Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) The creative cloud subscription was becoming unaffordable. Review Source Gaia B. Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best value for money for professional photo editing" May 16, 2022 5.0 Pros There are many pros to using Affinity Photo. First and foremost, it is a high-quality photo editor with a ton of features. It also has an easy-to-use interface that makes creating and editing photos a breeze. Finally, its price point is very reasonable given the number of features it offers. It is almost comparable with Photoshop and a super reliable alternative. It's a great asset for every social media manager, content creator, and designer. I'm still used to photoshop, but I can achieve almost the same results with Affinity Products. Cons There are some cons to using Affinity Photo. One downside is that it can be a bit more difficult to learn than other photo editors, so if you're not an experienced user, you may take longer to master its features. However its still simpler than Photoshop, which is madness compared to Affinity Photo. Review Source GS Goran S. Owner Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My favorite software" May 4, 2021 5.0 I switched to Affinity Photo at the beginning of the 2020 when they offered a three month trial. After the trial I happily bought Photo (and Publisher and Designer even though I didn't really need them at the time) because I learned to love it more than I ever loved Adobe Photoshop that I switched from. Affinity Photo is the single best photo editing program and I will recommend it to everyone I come in touch with. Switch to Affinity and save hundreds of dollars a year! My favorite part of Affinity software is that it is as capable as Photoshop but does not feel cheap like some other alternatives. It feels very well through through and the menus are all in the right places. The UI is comparable to Photoshop and it is very easy to make the switch. They even support .psd files in case you want to switch your current project over. I use it to make graphics for the videos I make, and to touch up photos I take. In both aspects, Affinity is a champion. Pros Affinity Photo is the reason I don't bleed money on overly expensive programs that I only use a tiny portion of. It is inexpensive, reliable, and has all the features I ever needed! Cons I would really want more customization options for key bindings. My drawing tablet does not support the current hotkeys well, but that's not only on Affinity but on the tablet manufacturer as well. Alternatives considered [Krita](https://www.capterra.com/p/209859/Krita/) Reason for choosing Affinity Photo Krita seemed to be geared more towards digital drawing and I needed a solid photo manipulation app. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Adobe Photoshop is an incredibly expensive solution. They have their software bundled and offer it only on subscription model. Affinity is not only cheap but is a one-time payment only. Review Source TB Tyler B. Digital Asset Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ditch PS. Affinity is what you need." November 20, 2023 5.0 Pros First, price point wins all day long. Not only are you not having to remortgage your house, the program is so much more user friendly, so easy to download and set up, free stock, no need to sign up for 44 different things. Affinity is everything PS wants to be. Cons The odd time, you have to dig for a feature that's front of eye in other programs. Key commands are sometimes a bit different Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Tired of paying fees for a program when i can buy this one once.

I may not use it all the time, but when I do, it has never let me down. Pros That you could actually purchase the program rather than subscribe to use it.

Affinity Photo, the Solution for your photo editing." February 8, 2023 5.0 Pros positive point of Affinity Photo is that it is interoperable with photoshop but also with certain Adobe formats. Affinity photo, for example, opens any PSD file taken out of Photoshop, which allows a smooth transition from one software to another. Especially since the very similar and optimized interface allows a quick start. Certainly, some functions may be missing, but all those present are linked by macros and are often much more accessible than in Photoshop. It's awesome.Aldo, big blow in the market is that it probably has the best value for money! Cons Despite a generally successful application, I have already had to deal with some problems in relation to the stability of the software. Indeed the latter has some problems of lags and untimely closures. Nothing recurring, but it can happen. The last negative point that I note on the suite offered by Serif Europe is the absence of certain features present at Adobe. The deformation and pattern creation tools are currently not present in the software, but it may only be a matter of time given the frequency of updates to the Affinity suite. Review Source SU Sascha U. Freelancer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love Affinity Photo as a Photoshop alternative" October 4, 2022 5.0 For image editing, I just don't find myself needing Photoshop any longer. As a user who uses many different apps infrequently, I was able to drop an expensive photoshop subscription and it's lock-in contract. I highly recommend Affinity Photo to anyone who needs a professional level image editor and wants to avoid Adobe's subscription based licensing. Pros Affinity photo is an affordable photoshop alternative with much of the same feature set. Although given the choice between both I would still pick Photoshop, Affinity photo is much easier on the wallet for a freelance artist, and can do most of the same work. Affinity Photo also aims to make migration from photoshop easy, using a similar interface and workflow. Cons There are some features of photoshop that are missing from Affinity Photo. Overall, it's not as good for painting, and the UI and Shortcuts aren't always a 1:1 comparison. Sometimes I find a common feature in PS is missing from AP, or have trouble finding a particular feature. Reason for choosing Affinity Photo More professional, easier to migrate to Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Adobe's products are now only available as an expensive recurring subscription, and the contracts often lock you in to introductory rates and long payment terms with early cancellation fees. If you use one or two apps on a regular basis it's not a problem, but if like me you need 10+ different apps from CAD to Image editing, these types of payment structures will bleed you dry.

Use this instead" August 31, 2021 5.0 If you are a business heavily invested in Adobe, the cost of switching may not be worth it. For everyone else, Affinity can save you insane amounts of money. As a casual photographer, I did not rely on many of Adobe's enterprise-oriented features (and related price tag). I got it on discount, but even at normal pricing, Adobe cannot compete for casual users. Pros The photoshop-like interface made it easy to switch over as a casual user with very little learning curve Cons Having to update by downloading an EXE from a website rather than having an app like Creative Cloud desktop is an annoyance Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Creative Cloud pricing adds up very quickly Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Professional Quality, Budget Friendly Alternative to Photoshop " August 31, 2021 5.0 I can edit photos, create and manipulate graphic designs, as well as create SVG files for custom cut files. Pros As a long time Photoshop user I was looking for a replacement which would offer me a product with comparable features. Affinity exceeded my expectations and is offered at an amazing price point. Instead of paying a monthly fee I was able to purchase a lifetime license for all the functionality I needed plus some! Cons I wish there was a more active support after purchase. While there are videos on youtube, I ended up purchasing the Affinity Photo Workbook (hardcover) to use as a reference. Well worth it and still substantially less expensive than Photoshop. Alternatives considered [Adobe Photoshop Elements](https://www.capterra.com/p/233260/Photoshop-Elements/)[Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Reason for choosing Affinity Photo All the features I needed for a one time price rather than an unending monthly expense.
