Video Description

Is it really time to switch from Photoshop to Affinity just because it’s free? In this video, we compare real-world editing workflows that actually matter if you’re serious about photography, compositing, retouching, or photo editing in general. We’ll walk through noise removal, smart selections, Raw processing, photo cleanup, masking, AI-powered tools, and overall speed and reliability to see whether Photoshop still pulls ahead and remains the industry standard after 35 years. Beyond features, we’ll also talk honestly about time investment in your creativity, the Adobe ecosystem, plugins, support, and whether saving money on software is worth sacrificing key capabilities. I hope this video helps you.
