I’ve had Affinity Photo for 4 years, I paid £24 = 50 pence per month, with free updates continuing.
Adobe costs £500 over 4 years at present rates and then stops working unless you renew = 1,000 pence per month. Or a new midrange camera.
I principally use DxO PhotoLab 4 for the bulk of my work, that has by far the best noise reduction in DeepPrime. Updates are usually discounted, but the software will continue to work in perpetuity.
A major reason that Adobe continues to rule is that alternative software has to be learnt, but I find DxO a timesaver for bulk processing RAW files. (Don’t get it if you have a Fuji.)
