It can sometimes be frustrating when you need to access parameters from the Studio, as a pop-up window appears (Image credit: Serif) Going back to software that still has pretty coloured icons felt odd to us. Many competitors have long migrated to a monochrome style, to limit any distractions to the image you’re working on, and its own colour spectrum. One minor gripe is that the toolbar is too colourful. This is actually all very reminiscent of Adobe Photoshop, and if you’re comfortable with that behemoth, it won’t take you long to feel right at home with Affinity Photo.īut it’s not all perfect (which software is?).
