Thanks Larry! Checking it out!
As long as you’re off topic, how do you like the desktop Affinity? I’m on the verge of cancelling my Photoshop/Lightroom subscription and going with Affinity as long as Lightroom will still function.Slightly off the mobile topic, but does anyone know a good resource for free Affinity (desktop) presets, either Tone Mapping or LUTS?
Or maybe the ipad version can load presets I don't know?
I think the 'deskop' version of Affinity is way faster than Photoshop. My ipad isn't new enough to run the mobile version btw.As long as you’re off topic, how do you like the desktop Affinity?

That's one of the few I've already found Jilly, but thanks
Thanks. Just not sure if I’ll have buy Lightroom, right now it comes with Photoshop. I’m sure I saw your IGposts but will revisit.I think the 'deskop' version of Affinity is way faster than Photoshop. My ipad isn't new enough to run the mobile version btw.
It seems to have all the functions of Photoshop and its more like photoshop than Lightroom. I've only had it for a few days but from what I've seen it can easily replace Photoshop.
I also have the desktop version of Lightroom (without any subscription) which I much prefer to Photoshop. I'd like Affinity even more if I can find a way to import more presets, its a shame the Lightroom presets won't work with Affinity. OK they will it seems, but its not simple, or so I've read.
My last two IG posts were Affinity desktop edits.
I'm all for being free of subscription !
Do you use Lightroom for editing?Thanks. Just not sure if I’ll have buy Lightroom, right now it comes with Photoshop. I’m sure I saw your IGposts but will revisit.

Yes, frequently, but not so much since I got into mobile photography. I turn to Snapseed habitually and don’t think to use the Lightroom Mobile.Do you use Lightroom for editing?
Amen to that!I'm all for being free of subscription !
Affinity isn't really that much different to Photoshop Ann.Amen to that!
I keep telling myself I need to get Affinity for desktop but just can’t see myself making the time to learn it. I’d rather spend time with ipad apps. I still have to get stuck into Affinity Designer for ipad. Adobe is so off my Christmas list.
Maybe but it’s not that easy to just to pick it up without seeing videos. Getting used to personas takes a while. Everything is in different places. Icons are all different.Affinity isn't really that much different to Photoshop Ann.
I the past year I have cancelled my Photoshop subscription, and instead of Affinity, I have been using ArtStudio Pro. It is more photoshop like, I find the interface easier to navigate and it does everything I want it to.Nearly a year on is anyone still singing Affinity's praises ?
I've still only got the desktop version but I opened it last night and started messing around with layers and quickly got bogged down
The idea was to do some old style textured images to post elsewhere, but it seems I may have to immerse myself in tutorials yet again.
Affinity Photo is one of the main reasons I bought an iPad Pro and it has become my main go-to photo editing app for working with RAW files, RAW HDR, RAW image stacking, compositing, photo retouching, anything involving “straight” photo editing. It isn’t strong on effects, textures, overlays, funny filters, etc. For those things I go elsewhere. You can make any of those effects if you want to start from scratch. But I imagine more “filters” and effects will come in time. I use layers all the time in photo editing with Affinity and find it works very well, once you get familiar with the layout. There are a couple of things with layers in Affinity Photo I have yet to figure out how to do in Photoshop and I suspect Photoshop simply doesn’t have those functions.Nearly a year on is anyone still singing Affinity's praises ?

I never did go to Adobe’s subscription plan and stayed with the last paid version which was 6. Likewise for all the other Adobe stuff.I the past year I have cancelled my Photoshop subscription, and instead of Affinity, I have been using ArtStudio Pro. It is more photoshop like, I find the interface easier to navigate and it does everything I want it to.
I really thought that I would get into Affinity but I have too many apps that do what I want and I just can’t be bothered to spend time working it all out although I really want to get into focus stacking. I’ve taken a couple of macro shots using the CameraPixels focus stacking option but haven’t got around to putting it all together. One day.Nearly a year on is anyone still singing Affinity's praises ?

This is how I feel. Maybe in the age of the mobile, messing around for hours in photoshop like programs just seems like a step backwards or too much like DSLR photography.I just can’t be bothered to spend time working it all out
This is what I love about mobile. Get an app - wham, bam you have it sussed and you can produce something in a jiffy.This is how I feel. Maybe in the age of the mobile, messing around for hours in photoshop like programs just seems like a step backwards or too much like DSLR photography.
Doing the focus stacking just takes 2 or 3 minutes. Easy as can be.I really thought that I would get into Affinity but I have too many apps that do what I want and I just can’t be bothered to spend time working it all out although I really want to get into focus stacking.

Getting tired are we? Yes, it’s the instant gratification era. Nobody wants to put any effort into anything but expects great results. I want to be a virtuoso violin player in 5 minutes. And then I want to be famous and rich. It’s my right.This is how I feel.

That’s the mobile dream alright. The hype for the new app builds a great impression in your mind getting you to hit the “buy” button. There’s just something lacking in the delivery. The great new app turns out not to deliver the goods, except under specific circumstances, which for some reason never occur.This is what I love about mobile.
