I won't beat about the bush: I have a huge soft spot for Affinity. I was one of the first journalists shown the original Affinity software way back in 2014, along with Digital Camera World’s editor Chris George. And at the time, I was flabbergasted.
Until that point, alternatives to Adobe were pretty poor to be honest. Downloaded onto the latest Apple hardware, though, Affinity didn't just look good, it absolutely flew, not to mention boasting sophisticated features like million-times zoom. This wasn't just as good as Photoshop or Illustrator; in many ways it was better.
