• Folks who use Affinity, care to share your experience in more detail in general?

    I am seriously considering switching, I have a free adobe license from work and that’s great but the fact that they have changed the function of the shift key in Photoshop has finally annoyed the hell out of me... so I am considering switching!

  • in more detail in general

    ha

  • they have changed the function of the shift key

    can't you assign everything just the way you want though?

    it did kind of annoy me that they changed the undo/redo behaviour after all those years though to be fair, but I'm not using PS seven days a week any more so just thought fuck it

  • Also interested to hear experiences with Affinity Photo. Just switched to an iPad Pro 11 and thinking it might be the way to go.

  • Had Affinity Photo and the Publisher beta on MacOS for a little while, and recently picked up everything else in the sale (Photo, Designer, Publisher on MacOS and iPad).

    In general, very impressed. Runs well, does everything I've wanted so far, and has some nice thoughtful touches - especially when it comes to trying the make tasks less clunky on the iPad (failing to think of examples at the moment, but they exist).

    The iPad apps are full-fat versions. This is great, because it means you can do everything, but I've found it easier to learn on the MacOS apps then transfer to iPad rather than trying to start on the iPad. They (the Affinity people) recently posted some videos of how the apps will work with Sidecar when the new MacOS/iPadOS come out, and that looks like it'll be excellent.
