I havent installed the latest version of Affinity from Canva.
I have it ready for install but I dont really have the need at present.  I do prefer Photoshop for editing.

Yes there’s a “slickness yet traditional feel” to PShp procedures (maybe it’s me being conditioned after 30yrs use8-))
I can rattle through Affinity editing but I occasionally hit “how do they do that?” moments, which invariable cause me to say “why on earth did they do it that way?” when I discover their method…..and then forget how to do it the next time I want it!!!

The new Canva version comes into its own when you are planning to do more with your photos than just editing them.  Adding them to a page layout or making some artwork, you can slide between the applications quite easily. It’s a bit like a combined Photoshop/illustrator/InDesign in one place. But again, it’s all a bit alien to use when you have been schooled on Adobe products.

i have to swallow hard and say “you get what you don’t pay for”. :needsahug:
