Don’t just take our word for it…
“The modern feel of Affinity Photo helped make upgrading an easy decision, and I’m delighted to say since then, the quality of our students’ work has improved drastically. The students have found Affinity Photo easy to use in comparison to other photo editing apps. It provides an excellent introduction to photo manipulation for beginners but has all the tools and capabilities to stretch and challenge our more experienced students.”
“Affinity’s layout is very similar to other programs that we’ve used, so it was really easy to pick up and start creating. It gives us precise control over alignment and working with layers, and switching between the Publisher and Photo Personas allows for much greater creativity. We can also use it at home and complete projects at our own pace.”
