There’s no task too big—or too small—for this robust photo editor. If you want to add some cool filters, you can. If you want to adjust the exposure, add some saturation, and make it ’gram-worthy, you can do that too. And if you’d rather draw than edit? You’re in luck. Affinity Photo packs support for Apple Pencil and an incredible array of basic and advanced illustration tools. Create unlimited layers, choose from an unsurprisingly enormous selection of brushes, and even create your own brushes—complete with jitter, spacing, and flow. (Sounds like dancing, right?)

I have officially switched 100% to Affinity products and ditched Creative Cloud Adobe products. I was intimidated to use this software at first as I’ve been using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc. for so many years. I am an artist and prefer to work on my tablet. With Affinity, you get the same functionality on your tablet as you do on your desktop. I can’t believe I was too intimidated to cut the cord with Adobe. I wish I did this long ago. Thank you Affinity for your amazing product that’s going to help my small business thrive. I can streamline my process and not starve to death while doing so. If anyone out there is wondering if they should rip the bandaid off and cut ties with Adobe, do it (insert Ben stiller “do it” meme here). Adobe is raising prices again, crashing our computers, and giving garbage support. When I first purchased Affinity, I had a quick question for customer service and was answered very quickly and politely :) To the developer(s): you rock. Thank you!

This app is sad for its features affects and now being free at least for the rest of this month we’ll see what happens but this app is really great because I’ve obviously being able to work with PSD‘s and big yeah just a simple $20 is kind of cheap. What do you think about it? We’re gonna have to pay $10 a month for Adobe or a week. I have no idea so go with Photoshop say goodbye to Photoshop is AI features cause honestly just to give up AI features for this app I would honestly truthfully say yes
