Is anyone reading using Affinity Photo (instead of Photoshop) for more complex editing from within Lightroom?
What are your experiences? How do you find it compares to Photoshop, and is there anything you're missing? Does it integrate well with LR?
I've searched the forum but could only find old articles on the subject, and I assume Affinity Photo has matured a bit since then.
I ask because I've been using and still use Photoshop CS4 together with LR, for further editing some photos which I feel LR on its own can't handle that well. I'm very happy with this, but run into the problem of having to use an "outdated" OS. The latter is no concern of mine, but the fact that many apps I want to use demand a more modern OS is a problem.
I'm on a Mac and use MacOS 10.11 (El Capitan), planning to upgrade to 10.12 (Sierra) soon. But that's as far as it goes, because Photoshop won't even install on 10.13 (High Sierra).
