I use photoshop and love it. However, many of the changes to photoshop (or Adobe in general) lately don't seem to be improvements like the suggestions you make in this video or others when you say and Adobe, if you're listening. Unmesh, but busy work to keep engineers occupied. I. E. changing how menus look ( gradient or color swatch. Or changing quick keys. I find this outrageously maddening and would appreciate someone with clout that might influence Adobe - and I assume that might be you - to call them out on their fixing what 'aint' broken.

I'm really happy to see this video. Choices can be made also on a preofession level, what are you doing for living. For me as a hobby photographer the choise is not Lightroom+Photoshop (started with BibbleLabs, then Lightroom, but now Capture1+AffinityPhoto, although i think if i can't achive what i want by making the picture and some work in C1, then it is caused by any other reason, when i try to capture/draw a dream or fantasy.
Sorry for my poor english.
But many thanks and respect for this video.

6: 30 You ca select all layers and create a smart object with all the individual layers inside. This way you can apply all your filters and when you want to move/edit the individual layers you open the smart object and do that, you don't have to apply a smart filter on every layer if is your final composition. Obviously Affinity has a better workflow in this case, but you somehow made photoshop look much wore.

That's the biggest joke. Adobe must take their adjustment layers from After Effects and put in in Photoshop. Working since version 4 of PS and AE and still don't get it, why they don't do that xD. And they have a great controller for gradients but in Illustrator; -) It's just chaos. Affinity Photo is also a killer on my iPad. Love your videos btw.

I have to agree that Affinity really has some smart was of working, but your method in PS isn't always the right one. Instead of merging the layers into 1 and then applying a smart filter to it, how about you select all your layer and turn them into 1 smart object. You can now apply everything you want onto the smart object and go in it to tweak it. That's how it's done.

Thank you, more reason to try affinity. I know adobe has been around for years, but given I am still a beginner user and that the workflow on adobe has a lot of steps, then there is no point for me learning a lot of things about photoshop anymore. Same with AE/PR to Da Vinci.

I actually moved from Affinity when I was strictly on PC, to PS when I moved to Mac(didn't wanna buy Affinity again. It was a very tough transition at first. I love PS now, but in some ways Affinity just really simplifies certain processes. Great video!

Thats exactly why I switched to Affinity. Working with Affinity, even tho its not as developed as the Adobe products, it just feels so much better and smoother to work with and thats also why I dont mind doing work arounds in that software.

It's 2022, why is loss in quality still even a thing? We should be way past that. I remember back in 2006 when I first tried Photoshop - it was amazing. There's no 'wow' factor anymore - all Adobe seems to be doing is riding the wave.

AP is much faster/more responsive with large layer counts. Thats the biggest thing Adobe should learn from Affinity. And before adding these 7 features Adobe should optimize their software and make that top priority.

One thing I still use Photoshop for is making and editing animated GIFs. I hope Affinity will add that feature in the future. Same with the fact that there is no image tracer in Affinity Designer

Hi Unmesh, that step at e. g. 9: 55, changing the settings within the assistant is not necessary. Simply drag the live filter to the position within the layers wherever it suites your needs.

Affinity is not as good as adobe in some aspect but truth is it is a much more innovative software maker than adobe.
I stoped using and teaching adobe years ago and never regretted it

Photoshop doesn't have to learn to keep object quality the same as Affinity. Just make a layer into smart object and resize it back and forth without problem. It takes a second to do.

I have been using Photoshop for years as a graphic and Web designer. Right now my eyes are on Affinity because CC is too expansive.
Thanks for the video, really interesting.

Insightful video. Last bit about using Ps vs Canva. You can't really compare the two as the user types are different. Adobe Creative Cloud Express is more comparable to Canva.

Affinity vs Adobe? It really depends on what you are doing. Professionally, go with Adobe. Hobbyists, go with Affinity. Affinity does quite a bit for a very reasonable cost!
