Affinity Photo is out of beta
Affinity Photo isn't one of my products, but I have been following it closely, and trying out the betas as they came out. It is now out of beta, and I know that a lot of readers of this blog are looking for alternatives to being forced onto the Creative Cloud model.
Affinity Photo is worth taking a look at. It's loosely a Photoshop competitor, but much, much cheaper. It doesn't of course have all the stuff that Photoshop has, but it has a lot of capabilities, probably all that most photographers will need. However, you should note that (a) it's Mac only, and (b) the raw demosaicing is pretty primitive - the X-Trans rendering is just nasty.
