Affinity Photo as editor in Photos

Thanks for the heads up, Lexiepex.

And Affinity has quite a few great photo editing extensions on its own.

But have you tried it on panoramic photos?

I found it is wonderful on standard sized photos, but when I try to use it on my panos with an extreme aspect ratio, it is cropping the photos, at least Affinity's own extensions, and I can edit only a part of the photo.

I don't use Affinity itself much - it is better than Photoshop, but I do not like the "Persona" approach; having to switch between different states and to remember which persona" is to be used for different tasks is disruptive to the workflow. But I am frequently using the extensions installed by Affinity. In Photos I can go directly to "Haze Removal" or "retouch" without having to track it down in the Affinity user interface.

I try to stick with Photos for now, because I am relying heavily on iCloud Photo Library.

I know that Lightroom is very powerful and advanced, and it integrates well with Photoshop. I just don't like the user interface of the Adobe products. I have them installed and use them as the last ditch resort, if everything else fails, but I prefer more intuitive tools that will shut my workflow better.

Thanks. Is that for 49.99 the low price you are taking about? Do you have a link to cheaper?
