I am Adobe Subscriber, waiting for my subscription to end. I decided to buy Affinity Universal License this time, the offer was to good to avoid it. Now I am thinking what software to use for raw photos after my subscription ends: NX Studio is a little slow and there are no masks options, Luminar 4(got free copy) is too AI – click here and there and photo looks overdone, Capture One Express for Nikon(also free copy) - again no masks but at least Auto Adjust option, RawTherapee – preview photos look not enough sharp to me, Darktable is too complicated, but at the same time I lean more toward to Luminar 3(less AI than version 4 and masks available) or Darktable (still have plenty time to learn it step by step).
What I would like to see from Affinity it is something similar to Adobe Camera Raw – where you can easily and fast to make quick adjustment to RAW photos (not a single photo, but many), simple masks options (even brush would be enough). Is there any hint that Affinity going to make something like this in near future?!..I really hope
