Photoshop it's pretty damn expensive nowadays so I had to cancel my subscription a year and half ago due to specific circumstances I was in. For as much as I like to lie to myself about it, nothing gets close to how good it is. Photopea is kinda good but 20 layers in and the whole machine starts begging for mercy, gimp plain sucks, tried few open source/selfhostable alternatives and nothing takes the cake.
Anyone know of any valid alternative? I may need to start giving my money back to Adobe after all.
All images were made by myself, from the ground up, using various pixabay/envato elements images, there's a layer by layer video of the first one, some layers are grouped so it feels like an image is being dumped in, I just made it a while back to explain the process to somebody and it's still on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQWMuSFkTOQ
There's also similar videos on my instagram page fccview it's not very active, no need for follows, just giving as much info as possible to understand the process ♥️
Hope you like them :)
I don't really care for AI features, but I just can't seem to be able to do anything with Affine, it feels closer to lightroom than Photoshop not gonna lie, maybe I am just not using it right, or maybe I got the wrong version?
Are you using this one? https://www.affinity.studio/photo-editing-software
I don't use the Canva version and it looks like at the top you can switch between Pixel, Vector & Layout, so basically, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign(?). Maybe you're in the wrong section?
That sounds very likely! I'll give this another try, I'd love to be able to feel versatile enough to use Affine too, especially as I wouldn't be able to install high sea versions of photoshop on my work laptop and I use that more than anything else lol
