I checked out Affinity in either late 2017 or 2018, and found it an extremely capable alternative to Photoshop. ![]() To me, leading a review of this doesn't sound convincing. Of course, Photoshop is leaps and bounds above CS6 now. "Affinity Photo does everything that Photoshop in CS6 did as far as I can tell, with the notable exception of 3D, which I never used anyway." I also was getting new cameras and lenses more frequently then, whereas now, my next camera will likely be the K-1 III which won't come out till next year. I would guess that ended up costing me 30 or 35 dollars a year. My tendency with Lightroom when it was free standing was to get the new version every three to four years. Most of the other features are slight improvements on existing things, although I guess they have added masks to Lightroom now. I'd be willing to pay an equivalent of 3 yrs subscription for such a software.The biggest thing to me is that Adobe gives new camera and lens modules that aren't accessible to those using older versions of Lightroom. Unfortunately, no one has come up with an alternative to the LR+PS package that is on par, even after so long. I am paying yearly for no added need for more features. Thats my main dislike for the subscription. Hence, in most cases, LR6 typically will do what LR-CC is being used to do. I think that much of the processing tech like our camera tech has been to the point that it is good enough for most cases. I'm sure there are improvements that subscription Lightroom offers that I don't have access to, but I just hate to start using a subscription service for this sort of thing. I am still using version 6.14 and it is OK. What I dislike about Adobe is that its a yearly subscription for something that for my uses (including all the above) is still relatively stagnant since I have largely settled on the techniques I used within PS.I think Lightroom is a tough replacement - it is good enough that none of the non-Adobe options are quite there, but still, for a hobby photographer, it feels like a big ask to commit to 100-ish dollars a year "in perpetuity" to use a product. How good are the liquefy tools for full body portrait 'nip/tuck'? Pano, stitching and perspective correction?ĥ. Most tutorials from 'influencers' will be based on PS in other words, easier to find information for what to doĤ. How 'smart' are the selection tools like magic wand and lasso?ģ. ![]()
