And I’ve been using Rawtherapee for the photography stuff for a while… Although the latest r lease of Davinci Resolve has some lovely photo editing and grading tools.
And yeah I’m on DaVinci as well and it’s nice they’re trying and if I do cut off photography gigs that might be enough but for now, definitely not a stand in for LR+PS workflows.
To be honest I’ve tried affinity and it didn’t cut the mustard for my workflows at the time (maybe like 3 years ago). I’ll admit, having used LR+PS for over 20 years I’m very set in my ways, but I’m trying to cut out the photography jobs completely in favour of moving image and once that’s done I should be able to let go (though I still use PS for some stuff in the video work as well but at least it’s not my entire workflows…).
I found the change awkward at first, a lot searching online for “how the hell do I…”
The thing that swayed me in the end is publisher, their alternative to InDesign. As a typesetter, it’s a joy to use and the fact that all three apps, photo, illustrator and publisher are unified makes working so much quicker.
You can use Affinity as an app image to replace Photoshop.
