A high-end rival to Photoshop for Mac users, Affinity Photo launches today in free beta. Will this become your new favourite graphic design tool?
We’re big fans of Affinity Designer, a low-price but high-end Mac alternative to Adobe Illustrator launched last June. And we’re not alone: Apple, for example, awarded it the number 2 Mac app of 2014, and designers have generally given it the thumbs up.
So we’re excited to see that the company behind it, Serif, is today launching a rival to Photoshop, Affinity Photo, in free beta.
What’s more, Serif isn’t aiming to just replicate Photoshop, or create a cut-down version. It’s actively aiming to steal Adobe’s market by creating a product that they claim is better than Photoshop in a number of ways.
