I've had Affinity since v1 was first out as a way of avoiding the Adobe tax. Best deal out there, IMO.

Great suggestion. I have the first version, might get this

V2 is substantially better overall.

Bought Version 2 earlier this year when it was about $35 or so. Great deal. Haven’t taken the time to learn it well yet. But what I have learned impresses me as a workable replacement for Photoshop without the subscription requirement.

I’ve been using the iPad version of Affinity Photo for the past 4 years. I started with version 1 and got version 2 when it came out. I think that it is a great editing package.

I just bought all 3 affinity programs in an upgrade offer for 30 dollars. It was a month ago. I have used affinity for several years and the V2 version is a major upgrade. I know everyone love Photoshop and I can't knock it but I can't stand perpetual bills. Personally affinity for 35 dollars is a steal.
Question. If you have Photoshop and stop paying do you get to keep what you have? Or can you no longer use it?

You can no longer use it. You have access to all of Lightroom minus develop tab. If you use most compatible psd files then other tools such as Affinity can read it.

I just purchased Affinity Photo 2.
I will be the 1st editing software I am actually going to try and learn
I'd like to learn from a written source rather than from youtube or video's
Does anyone know if there is some kind of electronic document I can use to follow as part of getting to know the basics before progressing to more advanced usage
In this day and age my request might be a sill one

You can run the Beta, still keep Photo 2 and switch between them. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[viper699]

had v1 and v2 - what type of AI features does the beta do? Like the latest PS AI has what seems pretty good AI for removing people.

Given Affinity is now owned by Canva I would get whatever you need from Affinity now before Canva goes to rentware

Is Adobe continuing to charge a fee when you quit LrC/Photoshop or did the feds make a point when they sued……

I have affinity 2 but I wasn't aware that a beta AI was available.I must look into it and see what additional advantages it offers over the standard version.
Intered to hear what existing user of beta think of it.

Last chance. 50% off ends December 10. Just got the email.

The Beta is available to Affinity Photo 2 owners. I haven't found any bugs yet.

Does the Affinity V2 version perform most of the LrC functions? I am tired of renting….

Been using Affinity since V1. It's a very good photo editing tool. Lots of tutorials out there too. Way more powerful than I will ever need.

I'm not a Lightroom user. I do; however, think of Affinity as more of a Photoshop type tool than a Lightroom type tool. For example, cataloguing and key-wording are not part of Affinity Phots.
