When I noise a photo, you can assume that it has gone through Affinity Photo beforehand. With this programme and its colleagues Designer and Publisher, I have been doing all my photo, graphic and layout work for over 3 years. Today I received a mail from the developer Serif: Version 2 is here! And not surprisingly, you are asked to pay again. The introductory price is ~120€, later 200€. However, we got rid of the monthly payment model of a certain other provider, which I find extremely pleasant. Switching from Photoshop or similar is not difficult. Some processes run a little differently, but you quickly find your way around. I won't post a link, I don't want to advertise too much. But I think you can all use Presearch and look for the name of the programme along with free 30-day trial if you want to get rid of adobe's subscription model. The photo here is a bit older but one of my favourites. Hardly edited, just a lucky shot. I love hoverflies.

Pretty cool. I've not heard of these. Is that like Photoshop/Lightroom alternative?
Yes, exactly. Photo = Photoshop Designer = Illustrator Publisher = InDesign Developed around 2018 as an alternative. I admit that there were little problems now and then but I hope that is fixed now. In any case, a free trial month won't hurt. Adobe files can be partially taken over but I don't want to guarantee anything.
You live, you learn! Interesting! Particularly nice since you don't have to pay monthly.
That was my reason for switching, I already have enough monthly costs.
I've switched from Adobe Photoshop to the Open Source GIMP photo editor. It has exactly the same options. And because it is widely used there are loads of youtube tutorials as well.
I never got used to gimp or inkscape. I have it as a portable alternative but not for all-day-work. But it's good that it exists.
Very cool picture!
I made it at work.
I use only my phone, never used any app... It's a bit expensive 😳
Not when you have one or two (maybe three) businesses where you can use it. Better invest the money than give it to the state.
