Why Everyone Leaving Adobe for Affinity Photo & Davinci Resolve

Everyone is leaving Adobe for a while now, for Affinity Photo and Davinci Resolve and for good reason. I'm already using Davinci Resolve for video editing for almost 2 years now and recently purchased Affinity Photo as well, to replace Adobe photoshop and Adobe Lightroom with it.

Aputure MC - An amazing little VIDEO LED light
I have tried out both and am impressed with both. My channel videos are now edited on DaVinci and I don't miss Premiere at all. For large bulk RAW edits, I do use ACR still because Affinity cannot do that yet. Congrats on growing your channel. From one small UA-camrs, I have subscribed for more.
Good stuff. I loath Adobe to a level that is unhealthy. I quit about 5 years ago after handing them $1000's of dollars over the years. I just wanted a break for 6 months as I was travelling and yup, had to pay the full remainder of an annual subscription. If they were in my country I would firebom the joint.
To develop Raw files, DxO PhotoLab is excellent (though not cheap, it is more economical than paying for an Adobe subscription). To develop Raw, edit photos and to manage image files, ACDSee Ultimate is great (better than Affinity Photo for Raw). I have them both, and the Affinity programs as well (from which software suite, Affinity Photo is the one I use the most), and they are all very good. I have Sony cameras and there is a free program from Sony that allows developing Raw (but it is kind of basic), and also to do tethering (which I anyway don't do connecting the camera to a computer, as there are a few programs that allow me to trigger my newest Sony camera from my tablet or cell-phone).
It's a little thing but Affinity has childish coulored icons. I would like bw and simplified
Haters would say you are just an imbecile, but I am happy you point out that Adobe will close in a few weeks.
I guess everyone means every youtubers who have been paid
I’m spending $80 a month for magazine publishing. Graphics department primarily uses In Design then Photoshop and the pages are exported online as pdfs. Does Afinity also have the ability to publish like In Design does? Does Afinity have any AI abilities like PS or is there a plugin that works with it?
Does Afinity also have the ability to publish like In Design does? YES, Affinity Publisher, and is an exactly InDesign clone. Affinity can export directly in PDF. Does Afinity have any AI abilities like PS or is there a plugin that works with it? NO, but that's exactly the point of being cheap. AI means a subscription model, because it needs a lot of processing power (hardware, graphic cards, or renting the hardware) and lots of side programming. Meanwhile, Affinity doesn't need AI, because its selection tools are quite good. It lacks just a better algoritm for eliminating things from a picture, but there are other good solutions for that (Capture One, ON1 Photo Raw, etc)
Mark, is that a Zoom H4N that you are using at 1:50?
@@ret1red4life No it’s the Zoom H1n, I even made a video about it.
After attempting to resolve for a second time, after the first adobe supervisor told me the issue I was having was resolved, I got absolutely nowhere. My issue was a result of adobe blocking any further use of adobe suites 6, which I purchased in cd form. When they told me the version I “purchased “ was no longer supported and they were not able to provide support, I told them, I don’t need support I just need adobe to stop blocking the version I purchased, from working. They repeatedly attempted to upsale me with a monthly plan, telling me how good it is. After speaking with them for almost an hour I asked to speak with their supervisor to make a formal complaint. They advised me I would be contacted the following day. No one ever attempted to contact me. I found affinity publisher, which I feel is a better product than indesign, and is much less expensive. I will never recommend or use adobe again. And will attempt to steer anyone away from adobe if I have a chance.
Affinity Photo & Davinci Resolve No subscription this is the way it needs to be companys need to under stand this is the way it will return to you buy it once .....back in the 80s and 90s and free ware .....we are not buying subscription ever again they said they would stop hacking software this way to make everyone pay a subscription ......that was a real lie they are burning everyone by making them pay for a subscription of every 30 days you they are ripping off the users and even a year ..........no way many have stopped that subscription idea many are not paying the subscription idea was the worse idea ever paying every 30 days is making them rich dont fall for it , Affinity Photo & Davinci Resolve is the ones to buy
For photo edits I was recommended RawTherapee, it's a wonderful and free piece of software and has a much more intuitive than Affinity
Can you do tethered shoot with Affinity ? I am thinking of getting Affinity too.
Davinci and Affinity are good, but a proper replacement for batch editing like Lightroom I didn't find...
Nice video! I stopped using Photoshop and Premiere around CS5 just before they went SaS. I use Affinity Photo for individual edits and making thumbnails. For managing photos and adjustment of RAWs I use Acdsee. For video editing I'm using Magix Vegas Pro, but I have tried Resolve a few times and I'm due to giving it another chance soon. Vegas Pro has been pretty buggy lately though I need to see if Resolve has scripting support. With Vegas I've been writing scripts in C#/Visual Studio that have been very helpful.
Affinity was acquired by Canva and will probably become a subscription-based app like Adobe
They ( Affinity and Canva ) have stated that they will always keep the one off price option. Canva seem to be a more ethical company and Australian!
Wasn’t that statement made specifically for the V2 versions?
@c0ldc0ne I re-read the Press release and V2 is not mentioned. Their statement includes " we are committed to continue to offer perpetual licenses in the future".
@@vkrickles I think it was the video from the (former?) CEO of Affinity, announcing the acquisition, that specifically tied their current policy to the V2 versions. I remember it caused a bit of a ruckus. Let's hope it was just an unfortunate choice of words.
@c0ldc0ne I think we all hope that Affinity will continue to provide great software at a reasonable price. Canva, the new owners, will be offering Affinity software to "Education" for free. That bodes well for the future. But things change!!
Not a pro photographer, more of a hobbyist who gets paid sometimes. But I've been doing some research recently and Photomator or Darkroom appear to be the best Lightroom alternatives right now. I just purchased affinity photo 2 outright and while I haven't learned how to use it properly yet, it seems like a Photoshop replacement. Pixelmator pro is fantastic for this too (and simpler to use) which I've owned for years and it just keeps getting better with updates. I find it a little lacking compared to Affinity Photo in features though and as of right now the best combination appears to be Photomator and Affinity Photo 2, in my unprofessional opinion.
No, not everyone is leaving Adobe. Where do you get the information to make such a patently false statement?
He forgot to tell you, actually, except you lol
I am not yet subscribed to Adobe and I don’t plan to. Yes, roughly 10 bucks a month is not that much but the idea to pay that for the rest of my life is insanity. They put a lot of work into the catalog so that you get attached to it and don’t want to lose it ever again. The editing part can be replaced easily but they know they can trick people into lifelong payments as long as they become their essential asset management homepage.
Adobe has a really great products, but the way they sell them or maybe I should say "rent" - it's comical. I'm not sure if I wanna pay Adobe anymore. I feel like I will give Affinity and Davinci Resolve a try. Especially now when my laptop should be able to run Davinci without a problems like a previous one. I see that Affinity still lacks of some features and options, but hey, maybe we should just give them some time, becauase who knows what they will add in the furure. I think Adobe is also aware of people switching to other softwares and maybe they will become less greedy (yeah... probably no lol). Really good video and I just subscribed
I switched yesterday and canceled Adobe.
Develop persona is more like Camera Raw it’s nothing like lightroom.
Mark, You forgot to tell US that Davinci Resolve has a Paid Version. But I prefer Free. Thanks for showing Affinity, I've not tried either one yet. Terry
Great video, thanks!
So you are one of those people who got into the trend of making videos against Adobe? A giant company that makes $250 billion a year? A company that has revolutionized art development with software in human history? A company that has been offering various industry-standard software for over 40 years? Alright
So you are one of those people who defends the billionaire company, like they cared bout you
@@AmielCetraroProbably while wearing a useless mask
Has it been offering various industry standards? I have been working for more than 10 years in the creative industry. Adobe has barely changed; it's the same boring software, just focusing on using AI stuff, adding NOTHING to the creative field. I am testing Affinity now, and believe me, in terms of user experience and tools that are truly useful, Affinity should be the standard for creative software.
@@AmielCetraro Do you think i really care how much money this company is making? I dont give a fuck as far as i am earning enough with the tools i am paying. This is like saying i dont wanna drink Coca Cola do you know how much money they earn. They didnt change a drink for the last 100 years. Sorry but you have no argument
@@davec2741 Yes, thats the right answer. LOL
*Alerta de mucho texto * Descargué hace poco la Suite de Affinity, me estuve familiarizando un poco con los programas y aunque es una buena alternativa a Photoshop e Illustrator, algunas herramientas se sienten un poco obsoletas en comparación a las de Adobe (que han mejorado muchísimo en el último año, además de la integración de IA que te agilizará un poco el flujo de trabajo). Tan solo tengo un día utilizando Affinity pero ya he hecho algunas conclusiones, que puede que cambie de opinión luego. 1. Si eres freelancer que crea ilustraciones, logos, pósters o que edita una que otra foto al mes, puedes hacer el cambio casi sin problemas, aunque tu flujo de trabajo puede que sea un poquito más tedioso, por la misma razón que expliqué arriba, actualmente hay herramientas bastane automatizadas en Adobe que no lo están en Affinity (o yo por lo menos no las encontré) como es eliminar el fondo con un clic, borrar objetos, relleno generativo, etc. 2. Si utilizas este tipo de programas como hobby o para trabajos pequeños, 100% recomendando Affinity, es un pago único aparte que te dan 6 meses de prueba gratuita, pero ya habiendo probado las últimas versiones de Adobe, Affinity se sentirá como la versión 2022-2023 de los programas de Adobe. 3. Si tu trabajo es la fotografía a nivel profesional, ni de broma pienses en cambiar Lr. Por lo que pude ver Affinity puede ser una poderosa herramienta, pero el flujo de trabajo no es el ideal, por lo que a la hora de editar lotes de fotografías sufrirás, este no cuenta con los ajustes preestablecidos (que yo usaba mucho para inspirarme al momento de editar), aunque si eres habilidoso y harás, por ejemplo fotos para revistas (pocas, pero muy elaboradas) Affinity Photo puede funcionar, pero no sé si es posible y lo dudo mucho que se puedan exportar los Luts desde Photoshop a Affinity, así que ten eso en cuenta, puede que pierdas todos tus LUts actuales. 4. Como yo ya no pienso utilizar este tipo de programas al nivel que lo hacía (muchísimas fotos y video de eventos + uno que otro diseño), me cambiaré a Affinity paulatinamente para mis pequeños proyectos/hobbies. Pero ojo, sin prisas. Cancelaré mi suscripción de Adobe ya que completaré el año el próximo mes y no es como que me apetezca mucho pagar penalidad del 50% más adelante, lo cual me parece un despropósito y una salvajada. 5. No pienso comprar Affinity ahora aunque esté al 50% de descuento, según investigué esa promoción ya la han puesto en anteriores ocasiones, e incluso en viernes negro suele ser un buen momento para adquirilo. Pienso utilizar la prueba gratuita unos meses y ya luego si haré la compra, ya que sólo ando abriendo esos programas quizá unas 10 veces por mes. Recomendaría activar la prueba gratuita de 6 meses de Affinity (la cual empieza al momento de iniciar sesión en el programa ya instalado en tu PC y no cuando te registras) y utilizarla por al menos 3 meses para confirmar si les merece la pena el cambio antes de realizar la compra apresurada guiada por las emociones y la controversia. La Suite de Adobe es excelente para trabajos profesionales, gran variedad de programas (muchos que ni deberían existir y estar integrados con otros), y aunque su modelo de negocios es diabólico jajaja, creo que merece la pena si vives de ello como freelancer, actualmento pago uno 36dlrs y duré el primer año pagando 20dlrs porque me registré como estudiante, por lo que el precio no me parece exagerado, con un solo trabajo me daba para pagar unos cuantos meses de la suscripción y si a ti no te da, entonces deberías replantearte si estás haciendo lo correcto en intentar vivir de ello. 1er problema de la controversia de Adobe: pueden licenciar tu contenido de forma gratuita siempre y cuando se aloje en la nube, solución: guarda tus archivos de forma local o utiliza otra nube para alojarlos (que será un coñazo si trabajas multidispositivos). 2do problema de la controversia de Adobe: los métodos engañosos para atarte a un año de contrato, solución: utiliza métodos más engañosos con ellos, no pongas tu tarjeta principal, sino una prepago o de débito y en el momento que necesites cancelar a destiempo, pues digamos que la tarjeta se "queda" sin fondos guiño guiño. Por mi parte yo ya no quiero seguir pagando suscripciones y pues me quedaré con el combo Affinity + DaVinci, besitos besitos chao chao.
Yes to both. I stopped paying for Adobe when they switched to RENTING. Started with them _before_ Photoshop, and used _everything_ Adobe as a proud fanboy/designer/director for a _long_ time. Today, my agency uses the full Affinity suite and DaVinci Resolve. 100% Adobe free, and very happy.
Adobe is still more honest and screws it's customers less than your ruling government.
Affinity? Pixelmator Pro? Krita? I’d be happy if I were able to paste an image into a selection. I could do that in photoshop 2
You can do that in Paint Shop Pro.
@@Michael-fw5ef thank you I'll check that out
In Affinity Photo, you can paste inside a selection, but it has to be on a pixel layer, and the selection has to be filled. While this _works,_ it seems quirky to me. You can paste inside a _shape_ in no problem.
@@LV4EVR thank you. I should dearly love a step-by-step description on how to do that because I believe I have exhausted all possibilities.
@@jean_mollycutpurse_winchester Sure. On an empty pixel layer, create your selection, fill with a color (doesn't matter), choose Edit > Paste Inside (Ctrl-Alt-V on Windows). The filled selection then acts as a mask for the pasted content; the content itself can be re-positioned/modified as needed. What threw me was expecting to be able to do this with an empty selection; I _think_ that's how it worked in Photoshop. (Yay, I'm forgetting Photoshop!) Hope that helps.
As an FYI, as of 7/10/24, Affinity is having a 6 month FREE trial........no limits, no watermarks, no nothing......the full function apps. At the end of your trial, you can then purchase at half price.....$82 for a universal license that allow you to run on ipad, mac and windows. This is for all three products....$82 is a steal....heck, it's more than a steal. It is not Adobe level but it is pretty darn close. YOu get Photo, Designer and Publisher..........similar to Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. No, they do not do animation......that is missing. BTW, Affinity was recently purchased by Canva which has a huge user base. The one app missing from Affinity is a lightroom clone. Just like Photoshop, you can do RAW image editing in Affinity Photo. But just like Photoshop, it's a bit cumbersome if you have a lot of pictures. But if you have an interest, the free trial is fantastic. BTW, I used Illustrator and Photoshop a bit and always found them unintuitive. I found Affinity very intuitive. If you love the way Adobe functions and think it is intuitive, you may have to relearn a few things with Affinity. Hey, it's different software so it is expected.
This vid was a call to action for me.
I'm currently making this switch for photo (DxO PureRAW4 + Affinity Photo 2) and use Photo Mechanic to manage assets. Not perfect but looking forward to ditching Adobe. (If you need the best color management consider Capture 1 for that even though it's another subscription). Another alternative could be DxO PhotoLab Elite, as it looks at your existing folder structure. DaVinci Resolve is a steeper learning curve for me but amazing re: quality.
everyone? what a stupid statement
Affinity are offering a 6 month free trial, no strings and all features. Good time to give a try.
Not to mention the 50% discount for the next 2 weeks.
Exactly what I thought and did. Love Affinity Photo and great to see another channel exposing Adobe.
Affinty's lack of autotrace is problematic.
It’s easy to use Inkscapes autotrace in combination with affinity designer.
I've seen people mention this and I'm surprised people actually use that... Like, for what? It only produces low quality vector of whatever you put, maybe not for flat icons tho...
@@lazydude5681 Interesting. I've had _very_ good results with Inkscape's Trace Bitmap function, both for simple line art like icons as well as much more complex full color objects. As much as I'd like to see this in Affinity, Inkscape fills this gap for me extremely well.
Hey guys who will watch this video in the future! I didn't want to create a separate video for this but I was wrong. Koji has been acquired by Linktree, which means Linktree is probably still the number 1 link in bio. Though this doesn't mean they improved anything or offer more opportunities so far.
Just grabbed luminar neo on sale. Might try the ipad version of affinity 👌🏾
I heard Luminar's AI is amazing 🤔
Masking Like LR is the main reason still on ADOBE
So please explain how a photographer who basically runs a business through Lightroom can switch. A photographer with 3/4 million images or more spread across 4 or 5 drives, all in one catalog. using Smart Collections, Smart Publish Collections, etc. Tell us how these other programs enable you to proof images to clients, send finals, etc., all from within them, without ever changing the original image, and not requiring duplicate or modified files because all the edits are maintained in their catalog. Explain how 1 photo from those 3/4 million can be found in a few seconds using a plethora of search tools like LrC offers. Sorry friend, I simply haven't seen a replacement for LrC. I happen to think the "Photography" subscription bundle, at the price of about 4 McDonald's coffees a month ...is well worth it with no replacement in sight. Adobe does need to retroactively stop pirating user content. They should limit it to things created using their freely supplied content and make the rest purely 'opt-in', with no program access denial if you don't. Fix that, and all is well.
For your use case, continue to use Adobe. Otherwise, you’ll have regrets when you switch.
If you're happy with Adobe's proprietary system, keep it. He's just letting you know that there are alternatives. There are a dozen decent PS alternatives and Davinci beats Pr and AE by a mile. LR is a good product and difficult to replace, but that may not always be the case. Keep your eyes open.
@@ontheruntonowhere He is here to shit on the software. :)
People who are on the internet for fun will know this. Folks who are making review videos and not making money from art are like this UA-camr. They are there to make you question prices, but they are not there to think about how to increase your business and make more money from it. Most of them are not even in the business, and they don't understand what Adobe Creative Suite means from a bigger perspective. Bros and sis, it’s a business, not just Photoshop for fun. It’s not about editing 9 photos for your Instagram feed on a Sunday afternoon or making 1 video per month. Get over it. It's professional software, and it costs money. These costs are nothing compared to the prices of the work that can be done with this software. Plus, accept the fact that the hourly rate for using this suite is basically the price of this kit, which offers everything you need at a professional level.
@@WhiteRabbit-ci4oy You completely misrepresented his argument. It's like you didn't even watch the video. He was quite clear Adobe's software is fine but he disagrees with the subscription model. Not everyone is a successful professional with hundreds of dollars to spend on a sub. For those people, there are alternatives. Nuff said.
What about masking in affinity like in Lightroom ? Will I be able to do that as well ? Select aky , object , person etc ?
I Left Adobe Rental A While Back. I Now Use On1 Phot Raw.
Might give it a try as well :)
@@MarkDanien It's Good! It's Also Yours To Keep For Life.
A long time user of Affinity Photo I have to say that it's not a replacement for Lightroom's asset management function.
I am using Darktabale. It is much better than Lightroom, and FREE
What about Adobe Bridge? It's free,but does it do the same as Lightroom photo management?
@@tonyclif1try rawtherapee, I have transitions to that app for about 3 weeks and it does the job great like lightroom and it’s free open source
You are simply being paid by competitors. There is nothing wrong with Adobe and nobody is leaving the markt standard applications, simply because the whole market works with it and because it's by far the best there is. Your channel is bogus.
Reading your comment one could say that you were being paid by Adobe. Adobe is NOT the best there is...Adobe is a greedy company and much to my surprise some of their key programs are STILL buggy even after 20 years! In the 80's I beta tested Adobe Illustrator, Dimensions, Page Mill, Go Live, and Dream Weaver. I was using Photoshop (ImagePro) before it was called Photoshop. Their strategy was simple if you could not make something great, buy your competitor out, kill the software then strip it and copy everything rebranding it as your own...QuarkXpress, Aldus Pagemaker..etc. Their subscription model is the defacto pattern for most greedy companies today and it SUCKS! I left Adobe the first day they introduced their subscription scheme and have never looked back.
I am not paid by anyone at this point but I value your opinion. Adobe softwares are great but that doesn't there couldn't be better alternatives out there. Personally I prefer to use Davinci Resolve now and getting used to Affinity and other softwares.
PS, Pr and AE are easily replaced. LR is admittedly the best, but it's only a matter of time until something else comes along and starts chipping away at its market share, as happened with the others. I'm networked with a ton of freelance creatives who've left Adobe over the subscription model and early cancellation bs, as I have. We talk to each other, and Adobe is definitely a topic. People who work for big agencies can afford to stay with Adobe because they don't pay, their companies do.
@@MarkDanien Why did you delete my comment?
@@togglebutton3312 I didn’t delete any comments
0:04 "Literally everyone is leaving Adobe for different softwares" Nonsense.
I was just going to comment the same thing... a bit tired of the overuse of the word "literally". Not to mention people aren't *switching* to Resolve... it's had a huge userbase for many years.
Yessense
Yes, exactly. Why would anyone start a video with a patently false sentence? It's just silly
It's how UA-cam works: you need a clickbait title and those kind of statements to get a bit of attention. Of course a lot of people is switching to DaVinci Resolve, but not everyone. For example, motion graphers cannot leave AE, Photoshop and Illustrator because Fusion sucks for those kind of jobs: it's slow, they way it handles keyframes it's a nightmare compared to AE, there is no direct integration with any software like AI or PS, etc... Not to mention that nodes are great for compositing, not for motion graphics.
After 2 months youtubers are still riding this story like it's hot news.
This story is relevant and growing because more and more creatives are getting fed up with Adobe's greedy gouging. Adobe needs to ditch their subscription model, and especially the unconscionable early cancelation fee, which they've implemented because they're hemorrhaging users. People want out. I'm one of them. I split as soon as my sub was up. Been on Davinci ever since and it's honestly sooo much better.
I think you've adressed the question in a wrong, or incomplete way. That's not the main reason people are leaving Adobe. In fact Adobe is being sued by the Costumers Agencies in the EUA, not because of the unsubscription fee, but because they are making it "impossible" / very hard the process for the costumers. The subscription mode has been like that for years. since they switch from a one time payment pack to own the software (called Creative Suit), to a subscription plan (called Creative Cloud); in this Creative Cloud, you never own the software, instead you license the various programs in a year-based plan, that you pay every month. Lets faced it, the same occurs with your telecomunication operator (at least in my country). You make a 2 year contract with, say Vodafone, and if you want to cancel that contract before and change to another operaator, the company will charge you with whats left. Its basicly the same here. The main issue with Adobe is their latest Terms of Service, that you MUST agree and in which you give Adobe a license for infinite time, of every document you upload to their cloud. In other terms, every picture, vid, sound, document, etc.... that you produce, Adobe gets to do with it whatever she wants. You still own your documents, but Adobe gets infinite license to use them - for example, to train their AI. Another import issu is your privacy, since in those updated TOS, you authorize Adobe to search your documents in your PC. I'm a profession image editor and I work with government agencies; news agencies; private clients. In every work, I sign a privacy contract with my costumers... And now some guy in Adobe has access to them??? That's the real issue here.
They are both serious issues and reasons to switch.
Davinci is magnificent. Photoshoot and Lightroom is a bit trickier, especially Lightroom as everything else is much, much slower, even Capture One, they still did not solve the problems with 5K and 4K screens previews, so slow. Refreshing preview after anything you touch is so slow, not in real time, this is unacceptable.
So true… Working on 5k-displays is painful, even worse using the 2nd display function in Lightroom. Capture One is, in my opinion, a tiny bit better.
I switched from Lr to DxO PhotoLab, and it's working very nicely for me. No all the DAM features of Lr, but my organizational scheme does the heavy lifting on that anyway.
I don't really see a big problem in reading and understanding the agreement text of the subscription contract. Adobe offers annual subscriptions with monthly payments. There are no monthly subscriptions. It's not that difficult to understand. The real annoyances with Adobe, in my opinion, lie in certain details of the applications and the constant conversions and changes to Adobe's offerings. I'm extremely angry with Adobe in many ways, but this concerns specific details of specific applications. "Leaving Adobe" is a rather simple-minded slogan, because what does it actually mean? Adobe is a company that offers a huge number of different applications. Which Adobe application exactly is worse/better than a certain alternative? Do you want to spend just 8 minutes on this? Davinci Resolve is certainly one of the best you can get for video editing, and in my opinion you don't need Adobe for that. But I haven't found a really practical alternative to replace Lightroom, for example, when I need to edit hundreds of RAW photos in a weekend. These are just some examples. Take a look at the entire portfolio of Adobe applications! You could make UA-cam videos about this for the rest of your life.
It's not that it's difficult to understand, we're not stupid. It just sucks. Most people don't need the entire suite of Adobe apps. The audience for this video mostly uses Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere and After Effects. As you say, LR isn't easily replaceable at this time, but the others are, and we're raising awareness that there are alternatives for those who are fed up.
@@ontheruntonowhere If someone uses Photoshop professionally, why should he be angry that he has to take out an annual subscription? Will his professional activity not last that long?
@@Visual_Notes You tell me. I don't know the situation of every creative out there. I imagine there are many who are not full-time, not yet successful, recently laid-off, etc. I imagine there are many who can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars a year on tooling, or don't enjoy getting gouged for early cancellation because their life situation changes or they find something better and less expensive.
LR is probably the only Adobe software for which there is still no good alternative. BUT there are alternatives. ON1 Photo RAW, DxO PhotoLab, Capture One Pro, Skylum Luminar and Aperty
Affinity does not have AI features
Great.
"Everyone"? Yes, they say they will leave.... ;-)
Subscribers up by 3.75 million since January. Now at over 33 million. I am not sure that is everyone leaving.
@@vincevinnyp9224 google trends for premiere pro are definitely well down
The trouble lies with LEARNING CURVES
Not so much different.
When I used Affinity, the controls already felt familiar after Adobe.
What learning curve? I jumped on affinity and was producing in one day. It’s extremely similar. I jumped on davinci at work and was producing in a couple of days…
@@MarkDanien You mean its basically a copy of adobe photoshop lol
