Affinity Photo Training

Affinity Photo is Affinity’s answer to Adobe Photoshop and a pretty powerful alternative to be honest. It can be used for many of the same things as Photoshop, retouching, restoring & manipulating photographs for both print and web.

 

Affinity Photo Benefits

It has to be said Affinity Photo is excellent, especially for photographers by providing similar tools photo editing tools to Photoshop. It also has full support for RAW inside its Develop Persona (different workspaces in Affinity Photo are called Persona’s). 

There is full range of photographic tools including focus stacking, panoramas and HDR found in the tone mapping persona.

The Develop Persona
The Main Attraction

One of its biggest draw’s though has to be Affinity’s payment method. Unlike Adobe’s subscription model for Photoshop Affinity Photo can be purchased outright at a really reasonable price. Which makes it very attractive to small business users, photographers and freelance creatives. Once paid for the software belongs to you —— forever!
