I moved to Affinity early this year, and it has been amazing!! I was expecting a long adjustment period after decades with Photoshop, but it’s so similar that I picked it up super quick!
Just an FYI that you might want to get some practice in with some Affinity alternatives, because they’ve been purchased by Canva, and so enshittification might set in any time.
Photopea represent
Affinity Photo for me!
I’d prefer FOSS but…GIMP ain’t it.
Have used Photopea in* a bind in the past, it’s also pretty good especially the clone GUI.
Bought out by Canva, I also currently love it, but I don’t expect that to last.
FUCK.

I have been using it for the past 5+ years. It is good enough, and its perpetual license.
Another vote for Affinity. Excellent Adobe alternatives 1-time reasonable price. Such a breath of fresh air after so many subs.

It may enshittify, but since it’s a one time purchase and not a subscription, you can keep using your version.
Oh that’s really good.
Krita is my graphics app of choice these days. But there are many alternatives that are great (like Gimp and Photopea).
So much of Krita is great and then there is the text tool which is still a heap of trash.
New update coming for that soon!
I’m fully aware of the feature that has been promised for years and is supposed to land in 5.3. I’m still using Krita, just not solely.
