@v_kyr, Thanks for answer Regards, Aharon

Thank you very much to all of you for your kind answers. Thanks to @firstdefencefor cool brushes. Yes you are right KPT collection is flash from the past but KPT collection is very very very vital to me. @v_kyr, please forgive me for being totally new to Affinity Pro 2.0 but what is the word Aph that you mentioned in your post, please? Did you make headlight and red beacon in your accompanying photo?? BTW, nice snow splattering dust. Are those done WITHOUT using add on plugins? I am going to study your suggested video link for creating realistic water reflections Regards, Aharon

Hello all I am new here. I own Paint Shop Pro Ultimate X2, X4, X6, X9, and 2023. I also own Photoshop CS5.1 and CS 3.0 Extended. Because I just discovered now that Adobe no longer sells individual copies of Photoshop and is now switching to extremely expensive subscription methods which I cannot afford for home use hence me shopping around for replacement of Photoshop CS5.1 for my new laptop. Affinity 2.0 is one of possibilities. I am told that Affinity 2.0 can do all things that Photoshop CS 5.1 can do. I have questions that I hope any of you can answer. I am posting few screenshot samples with the specific question accompanying each screenshot. Can Affinity 2.0 do realistic green and red beacons as seen on this screenshot below?? Can Affinity 2.0 do realistic headlights as seen on this shot below?? Can Affinity 2.0 enhance and improve colors of Caribbean waters as seen on this shot ? This was used in conjunction with Nik Collection plug in. Can Affinity 2.0 do realistic water reflections and snow dust blowing as seen on this shot?? I certainly hope I am NOT NOT breaking any forum rules by asking too many questions with too many screenshots in single post. Please remember I am NEW on the forums. Can Affinity 2.0 being 64 bit software use 32 bit KPT Collection and 32 bit Nik Collection which I am very dependable on? Regards, Aharon
