I had shifted to Affinity photo from Photoshop few years ago. I need to use it once in a while so Affinity photo does the job for me. It has its own quirks but I can live with them. There is still no real alternative for Lightroom unfortunately for bulk RAW photo processing.

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm in the same situation. I used the Photography subscription for LR + PS, as I don't care about any other tools (RIP Fireworks). I've been using Adobe Products since 1999. I just feel like supporting them is unethical. Figma + Procreate replaced Photoshop for me for design/game dev workflows, but I'm still missing the right tools for Photography and image processing. The OSS LR replacements feel too clunky, Capture…
Too bad you're still supporting Adobe, since they purchased Figma.
argh, to quote my favourite rougelike/hack'n'slash from the recent years:
THERE IS NO ESCAPE.
Edit: I just remembered I'm a cheap bastard and I'm not paying for Figma yet. yay?

#23I love Affinity, but why on earth there’s no Hand tool in Designer on iPad? It is so frustrating to work with mouse and keyboard.
Re: Affinity 2
#24It was not very clear about the Universal License, but if you purchase it, using your Account you activate also iPad versions for free. So for $99 you get all 3 apps for macOS, Windows and iPad, that is really cool deal!

#25Protip for people trapped in an Adobe sub if you want to avoid the fine[^1]:
1. change your payment method to PayPal
2. cancel your payments in PayPal
3. add Adobe to your spam/archive filter
[^1] The "pay monthly" (small print: annual) subscription we all love and cherish
Re: Affinity 2
#26The best thing about Affinity is that Adobe noticed and I've been on "first year only" Creative Cloud promo €30/mo for a couple of years now, all it takes is a mention on chat whenever the promo is about to end.

What’s Capture One or DxO missing to replace Lightroom?

#28I’m looking for (and haven’t yet found) any mention of v1 to v2 discounts? Am I missing something or is it an entirely new purchase?
Re: Affinity 2
#29Really nice products and a pretty amazing price. I've used the version one for maybe 8 years and think it cost me $49.

Serif mentioned on Twitter that the decision is partly driven by the absence of upgrading pricing options in third party app stores.
