Anybody using Affinity Photo?

I haven't had much need to edit stills, since I do all of my video in FCPX, but I was wondering if anyone had used this program... It was just updated a couple of days ago.
Affinity Photo - Professional image editing software for Mac

That looks like a great program for the Mac, I'm in the process of updating Photomatix to the full blown version but I think I'll hold fire for now & look into this one. Thanks for sharing Highrpm955

For $39 bucks, it's a pretty powerful program. I've been tinkering with it for a couple of days.

And what's your 1st impression of it? Great price = £29.99, photomatix = £71

Just don't want to make the wrong choice....

First impression... It's overwhelming when you don't know how to navigate around it, but I took a few online tuts, and discovered it was well worth the money... You can obviously see from the promo video that it has a lot of potential to be creative. Do some YouTube reviews and tutorials and it will give you an idea of the format.

Going to do my research on it now via YT & anything else that has write ups about it

I must admit it does look good & like anything you buy, blows your mine at 1st until you get used to it

.

Many thanks again for sharing Highrpm995, much appreciated

I hear you!.. we had sustained 40 mph winds for the past few days and ice on the ground... It IS pretty intimidating when you open in, but get online and search for Affinity Photo Tutorials, and that will help alot in getting started. I learned alot from those videos.
