I use Curves for a LOT of things, and this is a workflow stopper for me.ĪPhoto is far more destructive than PhotoLine which even allows for live non-destructive Photoshop plugins, just like PS and Fireworks. The Curves adjustment controls are very limited compared to PS, and in particular to PhotoLine. Smart objects are missing (PhotoLine imports PSD files with smart objects intact, and even allows for editing illustrator smart objects) in APhoto. I have tried Photo, but it is just too limited in many ways, and the basic workflow is quite lacking for the time being. I do a lot of compositing and render editing, general image editing, and so forth.

I own Affinity Photo and Publisher, but hardly touch Affinity Photo but for the odd photo stacking or panorama. Experienced Photoshop user here, left Photoshop a few years ago because of the renting business model.
