![]() ![]() My subscription was annual but was paid monthly, and had auto-renew.Ĭombination of those two settings made me unaware that if I want to cancel and not lose money I have to do it exactly on a particular day.Īdobe was happy to inform me that I will have to pay $300 just to cancel. I was a subscriber for many years and one day I though I am not using it a lot, I have old versions why don't I just cancel it for a while and see how it goes.īut it turned out not that easy. The other thing that really alienated me was the way the handled the cancellation. Lack of real competition stagnated Adobe for a long time and now they will start to improve faster and in more ways than before.Īdobe has very strong selection of tools, Photoshop, Illustrator, XD and many many others, they offer it as part of Creative Cloud suite or one by one.Īll of them are high quality tools, but for me Adobe offering has few down sides: The price of the subscription is a huge thing that always in the air. I am sure that in the beginning there will be few rough edges but I hope they will be polished pretty soon. It's too new for me to really judge it, but from the description and initial impressions it seems to be a strong competitor to both Affinity Photo and Photoshop. Now we have one more contender for the Photoshop replacement crown. ![]() Yet while they are more similar and comparable for photo editing, but when it comes to paining I find Affinity Photo is noticeably better. In a way those two are more alike to each other then to Photoshop, Acorn and Pixelmator. In a way if you don't need sophisticated color adjustments and complex manipulations the tools are even easier to use than Affinity Photo,īut for my needs Acorn has a big shortcoming - very poor image export format choice.īecause of that I often just can’t use it.Īffinity Photo has a competitor too, Luminar from MacPhun. It's fast and great for all kind of small edits. Version 6 is very well done, long time Photoshop users will find it very familiar and easy to use. Yet for me it still feels a bit too new and because of that I found that sometimes for me it's easier to use Acorn. They even came up with version for iPad that is just as good as mac version. You can buy it from the Mac App Store, pay once and install it on all your computers that are connected to the account. If you edit photos all the time, create digital paintings Affinity Photo is a great editor, and it's mature enough that it can be the go to app.Īnd it is much cheaper than stuff from Adobe. It's totally on par with features, few things are not as good, but many features are done even better. Also at exactly the same time Acorn by Flying Meat released a new version and I gave it a shot.Īffinity Photo is a real deal, full-featured alternative to Adobe Photoshop. It totally took care of all UI design imaging needs for me and I use it a lot today.īut Sketch is a vector image editor and I still need a bitmap image editor. Sketch was better, faster, lighter and at the beginning even cheaper much cheaper. I used to do all interface and design things in Photoshop and Illustrator and then boom, no more. The first real switch came with Sketch from Bohemian Software. So even though I was always trying other editors I was getting back to Adobe tools. If I do, then the tool is not good enough. That is my personal metric – how much I try to avoid using a particular tool. I often would hesitate and eventually will have to switch computers because the other one has Photoshop installed. It all comes down to moments when I am using a mac that has Pixelmator and I need to edit some images, It was possible to use it as a basic editor, but for me the interface is the weak part. It was much cheaper, it was very fast, and had many basic features. Pixelmator was one of the first attempts. Let’s look at the mac side of things for now. They either were too specific for a narrow purpose or simply not good. There were some graphics programs before too, but it was hard to recommend them to anyone.
