Have you tried Pixelmator Pro before? I'm sort of interested since Apple bought them, but not sure I want to fork out £50 just yet.

R454pm and it doesn't even include LR any longer?
I tried it ages ago but can't recall much about it - pity there doesn't seem to be a trial. Silly Apple.
I ended up subscribing for a month to a slightly cheaper plan that includes Lightroom.
I'm relearning Affinity Photo v1. It would be great if I could assign keyboard shortcuts to macros like Photoshop but even the new "Affinity" jack-of-all trades app still doesn't seem to support that.

Luminar Neo = R1,999 for life....
Adobe Lightroom = R454 per month for life....
If you live for another 30 years :
Luminar Neo = R1,999
Adobe Lightroom = R163,440

That's if you pay monthly, most people who use it regularly would chose an annual sub surely.
Also, if it makes you money at the end of the day it's probably still worth it...not for me as I do photography as a hobby and cba with Adobe.

ON1 does seem to be the best of the bunch on balance when you consider the price and feature set, also seems to have less marketing bs, which quickly gets annoying and misleading. Seems you can get it for around $60 on their promos.
How does the current version compare to Lightroom, seems very similar barring the catalogs?

Decided it might be a good idea to upgrade ON1 while it was still on sale.
