      Just wanted to say - I've just upgraded my image editing software to Affinity Photo. I was using Serif, but a couple of years old. The new AP for Windows is amazing! I thought I'd just be getting a bit of an upgrade, but I'm still learning all the new techniques available. 'Makes me want to go back & re-edit all my previous renders!

      Is anyone else here using AP?

          Long-time Serif user here too - bought Affinity Designer and Photo as well. Haven't had time to get into both yet but looking forward to using both soon!

            I have both Affinity Photo and Designer for both Windows and Mac.
            Finally a great alternative to Adobe.

              Hey Pixero

              Do you know if Affinity can work with Thea 16/32bit PSD images?

              Cheers

                It does open 32bit PSD files and you can write back to the PSD file too

                    Yeah, I purchased it recently after using Designer for awhile.

                    Don't think I'll renew my PS subscription. Photo does what I need and more.

                      I'm using AP too and it's great for 32bit renders from Thea. Want a trick for Relight in Affinity Photo?

                      Hit Relight before your render and save as EXR with all channels... You'll see all lights separated in full glory 32bit channels and you can use them as layers and relight in AP.

                      Sweet but it will require disk space. My latest required 3.5Gb.

                        That is very clever. ๐Ÿ‘

                          I must be living under a rock, I never heard of this amazing tool, I just bought the new Paintshop x9 (I'm a Corel guy) damn! I certainly will be looking at this next.

                                  Designer is the same as Adobe Illustrator.

                                  I use it for dealing with EPS, SVG files etc.

                                  If you don't deal with those then you don't need it.

                                      Has anyone tried the spherical 360 editor in Affinity Photo - it looks incredible !

                                        Kind of a dumb question (I think I am getting good at that) but what does CA stand for in the pricing? What is the US price (in the video I saw $49)?

                                          I think the CA might be Canadian - someone else may know more than my guess? US pricing is $49.99 each. Well worth the cost!

                                          I'm also looking forward to when they roll out the Affinity DTP (the upgrade from Serif PagePlus)!
