Hello everyone,
I'm a "serious amateur" with about 50 years of photography experience. I recently starting shooting with Olympus MFT equipment after selling my Sony APS-C equipment. I had been using Capture One Pro For Sony but just couldn't stomach having to pay $300 for the Pro version that supports all camera RAW files. Also, I never really liked Capture One for several reasons. I won't rent software so Adobe was out. I posted in a couple of photo forums and someone suggested Affinity Photo. What sold me was:
1) Upcoming iPad support as I REALLY prefer mobile editing. (Any idea when that will be coming out?)
2) Focus stacking - One reason I bought my EM10 II was for the focus bracketing and now I don't have to use a standalone program (Zerene Stacker) for stacking. I can do everything in one place - NICE!
3) Regular stacking - I dabble in astrophotography.
4) The price!
I've made my way through about 1/2 of the online tutorials and find them very well done, easy to follow and extremely helpful although I'd happily pay for a written manual.
