Affinity Photo - Anybody tried it out yet?

[TerryMcK]

Stacy from Astrostace showed how to do some basic image processing with this Affinity Photo software from Serif the other day. It looks reasonably competent and cheap as chips. Not a replacement for Photoshop, GIMP or PixInsight etc but even so it looks like it might be a good addition to an image processing arsenal.

I think it's trying to be on level pegging with them though.  I've had a copy for a year or so due to it's one off price, updates and "very generous similarities" with the aforementioned products.

Nik  Szymanek has been writing about it the last few (4 I think) issues of Astronomy Now.
