Affinity uses all the cores available to it PS uses only 1. It takes PS one minute and 15 seconds longer to do the same task. I have a 1GB test folder of images that Affinity can resize in 16 seconds. PS has a lot of good points, but one giant bad one: no real support for multi-threading. The uninstall process took over 30 minutes because for some reason CC itself was broken and had to be reinstalled before being uninstalled. I tried the latest version of PS vs Affinity and uninstalled after a few minutes. Their CC app is one of the biggest piles of garbage I have ever had to use.

I bailed on Adobe products a year or so ago.

Can you imagine, if you are an artist and your brush "must" have subscription license and suddenly crashes without internet connection? This is the future according to software companies. Side note: One of the reasons people to shoot film is the focus on creative process without complicated software relationships. I have invested in platform independent metadata workflow since Apple killed Aperture and left photographers in Adobe hell.

But there is, Affinity, Capture One, Darktable - free, Raw Therapy- free, and more. The reason that people are falling in Adobe Subscriptions trap was the notion that there is no alternative. In the past their software was highly overpriced but you can have a lifespan of 3-4-5 years with updates. Designing creative software with dark UX is Adobe business model. There are things that are logical with subscription plan, servers, cloud, collaboration functionality. My view as a serious hobby photographer is simple.
