Affinity Photos Vs Photoshop

There have been a whole host of Adobe Photoshop competitors through the years. Yet, each and every time, Photoshop does enough to maintain its position as the industry-leading photo editing software. However, it’s fair to say that through this period of time there has never been as much competition in the photo editing industry as there is now.

You can now take a look at the upcoming software that would appear most likely to replace Adobe Photoshop as the industry leading tool.

That software is Affinity Photo by Serif, a cross-platform software package, which boasts a much lower price than Adobe Photoshop.

A standard Adobe Photography / Lightroom plan is around $10.00 per month, $120 per year and $1,200 over ten years.   Affinity Photo on the other hand, charges a one-off fee of US$49.99 (under A$70.00). With this there are no monthly fees, no hidden costs, and no yearly commitments. A lifetime’s use of Affinity Photo costs the same as four months of Adobe Photoshop use (when locked into a 12 month contract).
