Looking for an alternative to purchasing Photoshop? As someone who has used Photoshop for over a decade, I will list out why Affinity Photo is my new graphic editing software.
In full transparency, we paid for this software and are not affiliated with Affinity in any way.
5. No Subscription
Affinity Photo is only $49.99 with no subscription. Photoshop is only sold as a subscription between $9.99 or $20.99 per month.
4. Cropping
Cropping an image in Affinity is made easy, by overlaying a grid and providing common aspect ratios to choose from.
3. Text Overlays
Adjust the font size on the fly as you add the layer onto your image.
2. Blemish Correction
Affinity Photo has a convenient blemish correction tool that allows users to quickly remove blemishes from photos.
1. Exporting
When exporting in Affinity, you get the option to choose your preferred file-type, adjust the pixel aspect ratio and so much more.
* Bonus: PSD Compatible
You can import and export your Affinity files as PSDs, so that you can collaborate with users that have Photoshop.
