Affinity Photo 2, £69.99
Affinity Photo 2 lets you process Raw format files, edit images in layers and push pixels around to change reality! If you’re familiar with Adobe Photoshop then Affinity Photo 2 will be easy to adapt to and you don’t need to pay a monthly subscription.
Affinity Photo 2 features a collection of new features, updated tools and interface tweaks that help this photo-editing app remain a viable alternative to Photoshop. One of the most useful new features is non-destructive Raw editing. This enables you to tweak the colours and tones of a Raw file even after it has become part of a layered document. The new Compound Masks feature lets you add and subtract multiple layer masks to take even more control of what’s revealed and what’s hidden on a corresponding layer.
