I'm in the same situation. I used the Photography subscription for LR + PS, as I don't care about any other tools (RIP Fireworks). I've been using Adobe Products since 1999. I just feel like supporting them is unethical.

Figma + Procreate replaced Photoshop for me for design/game dev workflows, but I'm still missing the right tools for Photography and image processing.

The OSS LR replacements feel too clunky, CaptureOne is fantastic but a bit pricey. I'll have to bite the bullet eventually and choose between convenience and cost.

Two questions:

1. Is Affinity desktop better than its iPad version?

2. What's your use case for Affinity as a replacement of PS?

C1 really is the only thing that comes close to LR right now. There is a version of CaptureOne that only works with Fujifilm cameras which is about 2/3 of the price of the full license and I believe there is (was?) something like that for other manufacturers too. They also still offer perpetual licenses, so this isn't necessarily an annual cost (I'm on 21). Still pricey of course.

Too bad you're still supporting Adobe, since they purchased Figma.

argh, to quote my favourite rougelike/hack'n'slash from the recent years:

THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Edit: I just remembered I'm a cheap bastard and I'm not paying for Figma yet. yay?

Naturally, I'm downvoted to oblivion for pointing out that they bought Figma..
