The reason is that as you add features and fix bugs in a software, fewer users need the upgrade (why spend another 150$ on this year's release for some features I never use?).

Most software moved to either free downloads with paid support (even Windows these days?) or to membership-based model (Adobe, Office365). The old software development model where users are buying the license for a specific version of a program and then use it and only come back to spend more when they need an upgrade is pretty much dead now. All of the shortcuts are second nature to me, and changing them after all these years for no good reason is a baffling decision.Īdobe won't change their ways because they have massive lock in with professionals everywhere. I tried the new version this year and thought something was wrong with my PC or my keyboard. I've been a PS user since if first came out, and was befuddled as to why they changed some keyboard shortcuts. Affinity 2.0 will probably be what a modern version of PS would be if Adobe didn't have outright contempt for their customers.

It is small (install is 500MB), does not require CC to manage it, doesn't spam my system with a zillion services and various programs that launch on start up, and it doesn't need an internet connection to install or use.Īdobe is absolutely sitting still and everyone else is in the process of catching up or outright blowing past them in certain areas. I have an old copy of CS6 that I use for adding text to photos, and that's all I use PS for anymore, and maybe the occasional touch up. Affinity uses all the cores available to it PS uses only 1. It takes PS one minute and 15 seconds longer to do the same task. I have a 1GB test folder of images that Affinity can resize in 16 seconds. PS has a lot of good points, but one giant bad one: no real support for multi-threading. The uninstall process took over 30 minutes because for some reason CC itself was broken and had to be reinstalled before being uninstalled. I tried the latest version of PS vs Affinity and uninstalled after a few minutes. Their CC app is one of the biggest piles of garbage I have ever had to use. I bailed on Adobe products a year or so ago. Can you imagine, if you are an artist and your brush "must" have subscription license and suddenly crashes without internet connection? This is the future according to software companies. Side note: One of the reasons people to shoot film is the focus on creative process without complicated software relationships. I have invested in platform independent metadata workflow since Apple killed Aperture and left photographers in Adobe hell. But there is, Affinity, Capture One, Darktable - free, Raw Therapy- free, and more. The reason that people are falling in Adobe Subscriptions trap was the notion that there is no alternative. In the past their software was highly overpriced but you can have a lifespan of 3-4-5 years with updates. Designing creative software with dark UX is Adobe business model. There are things that are logical with subscription plan, servers, cloud, collaboration functionality. My view as a serious hobby photographer is simple.
