Everyone I know has cited this program as a great photoshop replacement and even have boasted it as superior. And I REALLY want to like this program but based on the user experience I have had so far with its brushed in the trial, I would not buy nor recommend this program. The pressure is absolutely awful, and I can't blend anything. Also, importing the brushes I have from photoshop just simply don' twork. NO settings translate over. And even when I kind of get the settings similar, the programs brush engine itself just doesn't allow me to properly use them. I can set the flow all the way to 2 and the brushes are still too hard. Its just not a good user experience. I have used several art programs such as photoshop, clip studio paint, Krtia, paint tool sai, medibang paint, sketchbook pro, ect. And out of all these programs I have used, Affinity photo by far has the worst brushes I have ever used. I have attached a photo of me having tried to blend, and it took me a minute in PS to get a semi okay blend, and in affinty spending 10 minutes, I could not get brushes to blend at all.
