A new Photoshop alternative… Affinity Photo

[bwana]

Downloaded a copy this afternoon - free while it's in Beta - and have to say it's pretty darn good. 16bit CMYK editing, ICC colour management, layers, etc…

When it's out of beta it will cost a, fairly reasonable imo, £39.99/€49.99/$49.99.

Oh, I thought it was an additional Affinity pack alongside Designer. This will be standalone then?

Serif has a whole host of software and find their products very superior most of the time.
