to "firstdefence": Sorry, I got the names mixed up🥺

Hi Patrick, nice to see you :). Thanks for the list, in my case I don't think I have to worry about the software not being able to handle it :). I have two digital cameras: an EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT, bought in its heyday and an EOS 500D / Rebel T1i when I desperately wanted an active display 😎. The first has only a basic lens and the second has a Canon Zoom EF-S 18-135, 1:3.5 - 5.6 IS

I'm glad you agree, especially when you know both alternatives of editors in practice! And I also love youtube videos that don't just "unbox" the product, but actually walk you through with examples. Thank you again for your support

Oh, that's exactly what I want to find out. Thank you for the valuable experience! Several videos on you tube about using Affinity photo editor for this purpose completely charmed me. Examples of how tools can be used to improve a photo (if the original image is not completely bad) are inspiring. I'm trying to apply them in Demo Affinity and also in PS E. I see some differences, but as a long-term user of Affinity Designer it's tempting to stay loyal to this brand Your observation made me think further, if possible, I'll try to download the Demo version of the latest PS E , so that I can compare the two editors more reliably.

Thank you very much for your reply, I will have to familiarize myself with those technical terms. I've been shooting for a long time, but just for fun and I've never used camera raw before. Now I'm interested in the possibilities, so I want to find out which of the above-mentioned photo editors is better for me, because from the point of view of my budget, it turns out the same 😀

Thank you for your response! I confess that I don't know what DAM is for. I've always only used jpeg files from my DSLR and made slides out of them. Now I wanted to print photos on my own photo printer and I found out that even slightly burnt (overexposed) shots don't look good and can't be edited much. On Affinity photo v2, I'm now trying to edit photos in RAW downloaded from the web, and simultaneously I'm trying to do the same on PS Elements, it's almost the same. It just seems to me that Affinity has more features, but that's probably because my software is much older.

I would like to add that I am mainly interested in RAW processing, I have a DSLR.

Hi guys, I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 and can upgrade to Elements 23 - or buy Affinity Photo 2, for about the same price. I would be grateful for your experiences and opinions on both products. Thank you!

Wow! Version 2 of Affinity is here and with a 40% discount!

Hi, I checked it 🙂 and I will definitely buy one set, I like it.

Hi, If you haven't found another solution, perhaps this will help you: Create a new folder and name it, for example, my-fonts. Open the supplied fonts folder in File explorer and type .ttf in the Search field. A list of all fonts appears. Now at the top of the File explorer click on the tab View and choose the best display size, eg Large. Select the fonts you like from the list and copy them to the new 'my-fonts' folder so you can install them in bulk.(that's not my original idea, I just noticed this option in a bulk installation) Regards, Swat

So far, I'm just looking around, so the nuances in the new version of Designer don't tell me much - but I'm very happy when the software creator cares about his product and user satisfaction. All the best! Swat

Just for those who care - a few minutes ago I finally put my old Xara Xtreme in a drawer and bought Affinity Designer. I haven't tested the Designer for too long, but I believe I made the right choice. Swat

I am one of them, the 30 day deadline is a great attraction for me, but this your offer sounds very good, thank you for the information.

Very sorry, I am now choosing between more graphics programs and apparently losing a "bit" overview. I probably didn't choose the empty pumpkin in my avatar by accident. Swat
