Affinity Photo Reviews & Product Details

Affinity runs smoothly and offers all the core Image manipulation tools that one may expect from more expensive industry software, while available at a single affordable price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does have a little bit less documentation than some other, more widely used platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the customizable cropping tools as they allow me to save templates and save time in my design projects. Affinity Photo has high capacity to handle high resolution images without affecting performance. The quality in its retouching tools allows me to work with multiple layers to experiment with different versions of an image; it works on both my laptop and iPad.

It has a smooth learning curve and frequent updates but Affinity Photo could improve if it added tools that automate area fills, visual content generation, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost. COmpared to other photo editors ROI is much better, as it offers many of the same features as competitors, but at a one-time cost instead of a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with all alternatives to Photoshop, there is a learning curve and sacrifice as not all features are implemented in Affinity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- an effective photo editing tool, very robust to use and offers a variety of tools such as colour advancements, making images more pixelated as well as filter edits

- very useful to use for professional photographers as sending images to clients becomes easy due to its integration features with multiple format systems

- UI is friendly and can be learned quickly due to the simplistic navigation module

- Great, and I mean great pricing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- pricing is great since it's only a one-time hefty purchase in comparison to other software that use a subscription system. If one doesn't have funds for an upfront payment it can be problematic

- doesn't have enough texting tools, so can be limiting there, and thus using illustrator may be better here Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The navigation of the Non-Destructive editing in Affinity Photo is beneficial. I can apply alterations and filters on any photo without having to deal with the original picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to the brush tool, the best paint has slightly a higher learning curve than certain other brands. To my disappointment the pressure sensitivity is a bit low and reaching realistic strokes in drawing seems difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a long-time (20+ years) user of Adobe products, I was looking for something less expensive that I could use, as my day-to-day usage has lessened over the years. Affinity Photo is a fantastic alternative to PhotoShop, with intuitive controls and most features I regularly use in PS.

The biggest benefit I have seen is the interplay between Affinity Design (their Vector program) and Affinity Photo. I have seen a huge amount of productivity gains (mostly in the CPU and memory overhead associated with the Adobe products versus the Affinity products) when utilizing vector assets in tandem with my raster image customizations.

Other specific tools that I find extremely useful are:

- Their cropping tool allows you to control the environment and adjust the crop visually before applying, and then revert it with the same tool if needed.

- There is a suite of tools at the top of the application, like alignment tools, which contain the alignment and placement functions in the same area.

- The left toolbar arrangement and options are very robust and allow for easy use of features like background removal and masking options.

- I also appreciate the community and customer support for the product. While there is not the same level of community-built plugins as the Adobe suite, I have found that the users are passionate and willing to engage with you to solve your issues.

- The integration with not only other Affinity products but also Adobe files is seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using this product for a while, realistically, the only issue I have is with the color picker. I do not think it is very intuitive. If you use a hex value, press enter to apply it rather than just adjusting the focus. This seems small, but it can be arduous at times. I also don't like the color picker option in this tool as it is not intuitive to what it does.

This is the one tool that I find I have to labor with the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Affinity Photo has proven indispensable in my daily workflow as a business person immersed in creative endeavors. Its robust features and intuitive interface make it a go-to tool for crafting T-shirt mockups and designs. The software's seamless integration into my routine has significantly streamlined the design process, allowing me to bring my creative visions to life efficiently. The vast array of tools and the affordability of Affinity Photo make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a powerful yet accessible solution for their design needs.

Some ui elements like it's hard to learn first time but if I want to start from zero as a affinity photo user i would like not to be because of the hard user learning curve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Affinity Photo for its powerful and professional-grade photo editing capabilities. I love the extensive range of tools and features that allow for advanced image manipulation, non-destructive editing, and high-quality results. Affinity Photo's affordability compared Adobe Photoshop and other alternatives is another aspect to why I like, making professional-level photo editing accessible to a broader audience. Additionally, its frequent updates and responsive customer support contribute to a positive user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve associated with Affinity Photo. The abundance of features and tools, while powerful, can be overwhelming, leading to a steeper initial learning curve. Additionally, compatibility issues with certain file formats and plugins that are commonly used caused inconvenience. Overall, it does depend on a person's preference.

I think that the biggest advantage of Affinity Photo is that their cost is so low compared to Adobe's product line. If you need to do some quick graphical work, its hard to beat the price for the value. It's easy to navigate, and their customer suport has been friendly and helpful when I've needed them. Resource wise, it seems to be very efficienct compared to Adobe's products as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Affinity doesn't have as many of the really top end features that Adobe has. It lacks some of the more robust options, but it has room for growth. The workflow can take some getting used to as well, moving between different profiles for different types of editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to cut out models, remove backgrounds, make a collage, everything seems simpler. I had a great experience with Affinity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now that it has been sold to Canva, it is not exactly known what will happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
