Thanking You, Jacob Eapen For me it’s the extremely small differences between the desktop versions of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer and Photo/Designer on the iPad... Affinity Photo for iPad is extremely powerful, and, if you compare it with the iPad version of Adobe Photoshop, PS for iPad is a joke - it lacks so so many core functions and features that Adobe must think that Photoshop for iPad isn’t important for them... The same goes for Adobe Illustrator for iPad, but, here have Affinity Designer a long way to go as long it lacks some features customers wanted for years, but, Affinity Designer is still superior to Illustrator on iPad... Just now I (and a lot of Affinity users) waiting for Serif Labs to release the iPad version of Affinity Publisher - this release will certainly push iPad further forward as an real laptop replacer!

Thanking You, Jacob Eapen Affinity Photo is a "one time payment" in the sense of you pay only once for version 1.Xx and all its little updates. A release of 2.x called an upgrade will cost money. my favorites so far; Quicker start of the program. easy way of switching the language without having to reinstall everything. Affinity Photo has had live filters first, being able to preview layer changes instantly without having to apply them is also a feature I love. OpenColorIO support, 32bit editing and EXR image editing are straight there, even thou there is still a bit of room for improvements and feature additions. Being able to have 8129 Undo/history steps and also being able to include them in your saved file, good for improving efficiency and teaching certain workflows to others.
