#SERIF PHOTOPLUS X8 VS AFFINITY FULL#

Oh, and I seem to recall Glen Barrington is working on a full review of Affinity I'm sure he'll be much more thorough than my brief impressions. Overall, I'd say if there's any feature in Affinity but not PSP you'd like to have, or just investigate, Affinity sure is cheap for what it does.Д«ut if PSP does everything you want, it's easy to wait and see the early-bird discount is only $10, and I think a free trial is on the way. Still, it's early in Affinity's life, and Serif seems to be committed to rapidly fixing its bugs and tweaking it the first 'customer beta' is already out. And PSP seems to have more configurability in its user interface, at least for the things I want. OTOH, Affinity's toolbar doesn't seem to allow me to have the various one-click zooming options of PSP, which is a minor annoyance. are sized larger than PSP X8's, which is nice on a UHD monitor, but PSP X8's are usable (at least on a 40'). Many of them I still haven't investigated. I've only played with Affinity for a few days, and for the price the number of functions you get is pretty amazing. So far, all the edits I've wanted to do on a test image have been easily doable on both Affinity and PSP X8. My per-pixel editing needs are simple image resizing and cropping, occasional object removal, etc., seldom anything complex or difficult.

Most everything that affects the whole image, I'll do in DxO. My situation is similar, except I'm not as up-to-date. I'm using DxO Optics Pro 11 for files from my main cameras and RawTherapee for files from cameras that DxO doesn't support. Note that I don't need a solution for RAW. I use the latest version (X9) and like it, but the buzz around Affinity makes me think that I may be missing out on something better. My main interest in Affinity is as an alternative to the (similarly priced) PaintShop Pro.
