I've been waiting for the last 5 years for an alternative to Photoshop CS6 - the last software that i still use from that greedy monopolist. Finally Affinity Photo seems to look like it can completely replace CS6 for me. I have not tried the trial yet, because i'm working on different projects and don't have continuous free time at hand - unfortunately it seems the trial runs only for 10 days. So that'll have to wait. I have a few questions about features that are really important to me: 1) Does my bread-and-butter plugin Alien Skin Exposure 7 work? I read that version X does not run, but i'm using version 7 which don't have all the RAW features and is simpler. 2) Does Affinity Photo have a professional quality PDF Export, for sending files to a printing service? (PDF/X-4:2008, output intent profile, etc) 3) How does Affinity Photo handle very large image files? For example high megapixel, ton of nested layers, filesize between 1 and 2GB. 4) Can Affinity Photo save files in the background while the user keeps working on the file? 5) Can i have two images shown side by side and lock them, so they move together with the hand tool? (for comparison purposes)
