Affinity > all photoshop alternatives

Sorry

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I just checked this out. Seems great, but I was bummed to see they only support iOS, and not Android. Any idea if they plan to extend to Android?

[-] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I doubt it happens. They also don't support linux.

[-] the_q@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They'll never support other platforms. Imagine being forced to purchase a whole system to use a single application.

[-] GrapesOfAss@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Imagine thinking you're being forced

[-] the_q@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How would you describe it?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago

If they want to use the application ... they are forced to purchase a whole system.

Not so difficult to understand.

Or is there any other way to use the application?

[-] GrapesOfAss@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol, you're not being FORCED to do anything dude. No one here is FORCING you to use it. Not so difficult to understand.

Also, you can run it on Linux using WINE

How does it compare to PS? After becoming comfortable in PS, I find the work flow in anything else cumbersome and hard to adjust to.

Very rarely do I need to google how to do something

It's about as close to photoshop as you can legally make a paid photoshop clone

Isn't Affinity more an Illustrator alternative since it's vector?

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Affinity Designer is an Illustrator alternative, Affinity Photo is their Photoshop competitor and Affinity Publisher is an InDesign clone. The company that makes the Affinity products is called Serif. Hope this helps to clarify.

[-] GrapesOfAss@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just like Photoshop it has multiple softwares, Affinity is the brand name. It has a rastor program and and vector program, as well as a third software I think is like light room

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com -2 points 1 year ago

Your use of > rather than ≥ correctly indicates that Affinity is not a Photoshop alternative at all (going by other comments about how it's not even available on Linux).
