  1. I've been using Affinity Photo since beta. It has entirely replace Photoshop for me. I've been using Alien Skin Exposure X since X3 (now X7). Although it's sometimes been a frustrating ride, each version has seen improvement. For those not familiar with Exposure X, it is a non-destructive editor with a feature set similar to Lightroom and performs cataloging using your file structure. Exposure X has replaced Lightroom for me and allows me to do most of my image editing there. But if I need heavy lifting I need Affinity Photo. Fortunately Exposure X allows integration of external editors within its workflow. With a couple of clicks within Exposure X, I can export an image into Affinity Photo, with or without the edits I performed in Exposure X, do my work in Affinity Photo, then return a TIFF or JPEG file from Affinity Photo back into Exposure X, which is revealed in Exposure X right next to the image file I started out with. If you want you can save the Affinity Photo native file to the same folder before returning to Exposure X. The afphoto file will not appear in Exposure X so you would have to edit that file outside of Exposure X and export new/replacement files as needed so they are revealed in Exposure X. FWIW, Exposure X allows you to have multiple external editors. I frequently use Silver Efex Pro and have the same Exposure X workflow as I do for Affinity Photo. I am definitely NOT trying to sell Exposure X! I just wanted to say I found a workflow that works for me and allows me to stay out of an Adobe subscription. I hope you all find something that works for you as well.
