Title: Affinity - Photo Editing Software
Post by: rsutter on June 30, 2017, 05:09:59 PM

Hello All,

I just purchased the photo editing software program, Affinity from https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/
It bills itself as an alternative to Adobe Photoshop.  At $49.99 total price, not subscription, I found it to be quite useful.
One particularly intriguing feature is Focus Merge, allowing you to take a series of similar images with different points of focus and
combine them into a single image that chooses the sharpest area of each image and uses it for the composite image.

It offers separate Windows and MAC versions.  Video at https://vimeo.com/194672406

I am eager to explore additional capabilities of this product.

You get Affinity for the iPad for $19.99.

I now have Affinity installed on my new 2017 iPad Pro 12.9. My learning now begins...

They do have a lot of tutorial videos online.
