We should probably continue this discussion in the specific thread on the pros and pluses of these two programmes. That’s where I’ll post some samples soon:
I think many photographers own/use a variety of programs. I like to have a range of “instruments” to use. I gave up on the Photoshop subscription and switched to Affinity Photo which does a very good job and allows plugins from Topaz and my favorite, Luminar AI. I have taken RAW photos for twenty years and find they allow a much greater dynamic range. My workflow is RAW developed in Affinity Photo > Topaz Denoise AI and/or Sharpen AI > Luminar AI > Affinity Photo and save as Jpg.
Your Hu…
