In addition to needing to find a less costly editing solution, I needed to find an alternative to Adobe Photoshop and try and migrate away from subscription based services. Affinity photo fits the bill and then some. I really wanted to dive deep into the features so I did I deep exploration into the features via 3 Udemy courses. I use this tool on a regular basis to create graphics for videos and web applications as well as photo retouching and enhancements and colorization.
