Chris TitusHOST
And I know Linux users are like, well, just use Linux then.
Chris TitusHOST
But with NetMac, you have good update cycles, you have really good compatibility, and there's certain two pieces of software I wanted to use on Mac, specifically Final Cut Pro and Affinity Photo that work fantastic on Mac, which don't work on Linux.
Chris TitusHOST
Uh, affinity photo has like some wine hacks and other things on links that, but it's not really a good solution where on Mac it is.
Chris TitusHOST
So I've actually really enjoyed that from a workflow and I wanted to test creating some videos in final cut and.
Chris TitusHOST
kind of messing around with that as that's just exciting for me.
JamesHOST
And so I don't know if I necessarily need to go back for any reason.
Gardiner BryantHOST
I will say Affinity Photo, if you're looking for something that has similar feature set and you want document compatibility with Photoshop, affinity photo is pretty great um this is pretty darn close to photoshop's interface i've used
HiTechLoLifeHOST
photoshop before and yeah i mean like this top this uh top like menu bar right there this is oh man this is so crazy to me
Gardiner BryantHOST
i'm screwing around with it right now one thing that i will say uh and and this is true for almost every like open source alternative uh I installed this, I downloaded the, like the launcher installer.
Jeff GametHOST
So I use Affinity Studio, which used to be Affinity the company, and then Canva bought them.
Jeff GametHOST
And so Canva took their products, Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publish, put them into a single program, a single app, and then offered that for free.
Jeff GametHOST
And you're coming from the world of Adobe,
Brian ChaffinHOST
right?
Jeff GametHOST
And then they're like, and it's free forever.
Jeff GametHOST
Because they're using that as a stepping stone to get people into the other products that Canva makes.
Jeff GametHOST
And so I put that on my, my Mac, but then that meant I lost the ability to go between the two devices, my Mac and my iPad with my affinity photo files, because I have the older version on the iPad.
Jeff GametHOST
I can start there and go to my Mac, but if I start on the Mac, I can't open the files on my iPad.
Jeff GametPANELIST
Yeah, because, well, Chuck, what we're looking at is a product category that... people are using to replace Adobe Creative Cloud, ultimately.
Jeff GametPANELIST
And so what we're getting now, well, in November, finally, fills the hole that we have for people that have moved from Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher, when it was Affinity the company.
Jeff GametPANELIST
and have since moved to Affinity, the app, the all-in-one app, which is what we got after Canva bought Affinity.
Jeff GametPANELIST
And so there's people like me who did the switch over to Affinity on our Mac, but then we still have to use Affinity Photo 2 and Affinity Designer 2, the version 2s on our iPads, so we don't have feature parity anymore.
Jeff GametPANELIST
And we also, geez, I haven't even tried.
Jeff GametPANELIST
I've just assumed anything I'm making in Affinity on my Mac, I can't open on my iPad because it's a new version of the file format.
Jeff GametPANELIST

Scott TolinskiHOST
But the other ones, Photoshop, you know, that, that's never really had a good replacement.
Scott TolinskiHOST
I've tried Affinity Photo.
Scott TolinskiHOST
I've had that installed forever now.
Scott TolinskiHOST
I've tried, uh, GIMP.
Grant SwinbourneHOST
The experience of pulling that body of work together was cathartic and ultimately earned her a fellowship from the Photographic Society of New Zealand in 2025. their highest distinction.
Grant SwinbourneHOST
In this episode, Noel talks about spontaneous feeling-led shooting, her post-processing work in Affinity Photo, including multi-image composites and live stacking, and using competitions as a tool for focus and growth rather than validation.
Grant SwinbourneHOST
I hope you enjoy the show.
Grant SwinbourneHOST
G'day Noel, welcome to Landscape Photography World.

Noelle BennettGUEST
I think it's a bit hard.
Noelle BennettGUEST
There are three things that I always do to start.
Noelle BennettGUEST
One is once the raw images come through, I use Affinity Photo.
Noelle BennettGUEST
Once the raw images come through, I duplicate it.
