I love #affinity
Been using Affinity Photo and Publisher for many years.

Yet another example of equal or better options once you get out of the Big Name stranglehold. And NO SUBSCRIPTION MODEL!!! Fuck Ad*be!

Always nice to see how other people use these tools

My photo editing workflow in Affinity 💚

Also includes a free vignette so you don't have to use the completely awful one that comes built in 🤣 Or, instructions on how to build your own.

Die letzten Wochen bin ich tatsächlich in Sachen Videoschnitt mit Kdenlive und Grafik-Design mit Inkscape, etc. wieder am Zweifeln angekommen. Manche Dinge verlangsamen den Workflow enorm. Insbesonders wenn man von der Affinity-Suite und DaVinci Resolve kommt.
Dennoch möchte ich den Wechsel von Windows zu Linux nicht rückgängig machen.
Ich bleibe also hartnäckig!
Ich möchte die Lust zum kreativen Schaffen nicht verlieren.

I miss when this actually meant spending a couple of minutes tweaking an image and not 10 seconds writing a prompt and then another 10 seconds telling the original prompt it was garbage!

I found two images and began the process of tweaking them a little bit ... removing the background ... bit of hackery to remove whats her names arm / hand ... and hey presto ... (had seen a similar low quality image so I'm not being very original but it made me smile)
