Anyone know how to open a Photoshop Template (PSDT) file without Photoshop? I mistakenly assumed that #PixelmatorPro would be able to open it, like it’s able to open PSDs, when I got this template.
Affinity has been bought by Canva, to compete with Adobe.
It was of course a matter of time before Affinity would outgrow its status of sympathetic small-scale Adobe alternative, and be sold for large proceeds.
Canva is into AI. Hopefully Affinity will get some useful AI-powered image processing tools, like upscalers and denoisers, but Canva will probably add generative shit and introduce subscriptions sooner or later.
@metin Dammit. I just read about the acquisition. I have the exact same concerns regarding the #Affinity suite - sooner or later it will become subscription-based software.
I am currently using Affinity Photo in v2 but might switch to #PixelmatorPro if they install a subscription model. If you are into #macOS, probably give it a go. Will also take a look at PhotoScape X, thanks for the recommendation. 👍🏼
Anyone have an opinion about #photoshop replacements for MacOS? I don't use it enough to justify another annual subscription. Looking at #pixelmatorpro and #acorn and #affinityphoto but haven't actually tried any of them out yet. Will hopefully be checking out some of the trials this weekend.
