@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. 👍🏼

@Shkspr80 @metin I really like Pixelmator Pro too.

@mbt3d @Shkspr80 Yes, but I've deliberately left it out of my summary, as it's macOS-only, and because it's relatively well-known (featured in an Apple iPad presentation, etc.), I'm afraid sooner or later the commercial subscription shizzle will enter the building.

@Shkspr80 Be sure to check out the explainer videos on the PhotoScape X site. It's more complete than you'd expect at first sight, and is full of refinements.

The free version has about 90% of all functionality. The very affordable in-app Pro purchase supports the dev and offers some welcome extras.
