  • Genuinely the only way to start learning visual creation tools

    I have found that every time I try to learn with Photoshop Adobe products, and all those things the monthly charge that I face actually actively de-incentivizes me. When I forget to dedicate time to learning those programs for that whole month I end up feeling terrible. But, then my savior Affinity came to my rescue! With the one time charge that affinity offers, you to have all your programs for one flat price. The monthly issue is no longer at play. You learn at your pace because you OWN the software outright also using skillshare to learn the software has been a breeze. I'm sure it's easy to do Photoshop as well. I tried myself. I just found that I always had that monthly indication and billing making me not feel well, even when I was learning because I felt like I was costing myself money with every little mis-step I took.
  • Love it!

    Affinity Photo, along with the entire Affinity Suite, has taken over. Beautiful Design with powerful tools allow me to create jaw dropping art, presentation, and custom anything. Best part is the perpetual license.

    How come in 2025 a very well known designing software doesn’t support RTL languages?

    I miss some of the photoshop filters. Also, Photoshop seems a little easier to use, but that could be because I've been using it since 1993. It certainly is good enough for me to ditch the Adobe subscription.
  • Great program for great price

    This program does all I need for my photos and more as I learn more
  • Best Value Feature for Feature

    I was worried that leaving Photoshop behind would be painful but I was a user since I used Photoshop since 1993 and as they made it more and more complex it became more difficult to work with for what I do, as well as becoming prohibitively expensive. Affinity Photo 2 does what I need to do and gets out of its own way, unlike Photoshop. I am producing comic book pages using multiple collage and I have to work on editing and retouching various AI generated artworks. Yes there I features I want…but for this price, Feature for Feature Photo 2 wins HANDS DOWN. Thank you Affinity for giving me a LIFETIME license at an affordable price.
  • I got this to avoid having to use two computers at work

    At work I take a lot of professional photos for members of our organization. I got this hoping to circumvent the need to use two computers (one with adobe creative cloud on it) and so far the product is not as compelling as photoshop.
