![]() Even if the actual developers were not intending it to be so. So, sorry, but a +1 here to using Photo for actual painting, rather than Designer. The pixel persona in Designer is great but limited compared to Photo, so, for that kind of use (raster illustration, digital painting in general, concept art for games or movies), is better all the way directly with Photo, as a global tool. You can totally paint with Affinity Photo, and I like quite more its raster brush system that Designer's vector-to-raster or textured vectors (or pixel persona), specially for the lower accuracy on the strokes when translated to vector. Even for "pure brush work", so to speak, the image correction, export, cmyk mode, large resolution allowed in PS/Photo, etc, are not "optional", are absolutely key. These is an overall focus in the matter too often not considered, while it's pure reality check. That said, I hate concept art conceived that way, am a full brush illustrator. For this, Photo beats ANY of the tools mentioned in the thread, except Photoshop. More often with a combination of techniques so that it is fast but looks well. Concept art can be done "illustration style", or pure matte painting, or even just photo bashing. And than in Designer, actually, particularly, as you mentioned illustration and concept art. It is an indeed total requirement in most of the companies across many fields, so, if anything, you can indeed rebuild those workflows in Photo more likely than in the eye-candy traditional painting specialized tools. Significant amount (if not massive majority) of concept artists in video game companies, with all the money that the industry handles. Photo is VERY similar in functionality to Adobe Photoshop, and trust me, there are legions of professionals working with it ( I have, for decades) for digital painting. While is very, *very* rare for me to disagree with you, I have to, kindly, in this one. While the incremental upgrade may not be compelling for existing users (unless you have a camera capable of 360-degree capture), we highly recommend considering the PSP 2019 for new users.For illustration and concept art Affinity Designer might be better for you than Photo. The PSP is also a great learning platform for those who want to graduate from the latter to the former, and it has a far larger library of clip art and other content. And like PS Elements, the program is easy and accessible enough for novices. Like Photoshop, the PSP software is powerful and creative enough for sophisticated photographers and demanding business graphics users. The PaintShop Pro is something of a combination of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. In addition to the PSP program, it includes PhotoMirage Express (converts an image into an animation), Painter Essentials 6 (for digital painting and drawing), Perfectly Clear 3.5 SE (auto photo fixes), Corel AfterShot (RAW photo editor and batch processor) and Corel Creative Collection (even more content, including 100 royalty-free backgrounds). The Ultimate package represents quite a bargain. ![]() MORE: Which Adobe Photo Editing Software Is Right for Me? And unlike the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription model for Photoshop (which requires you to renew it annually), all purchases are for a perpetual license, with no recurring costs. These prices are very competitive with Photoshop Elements ($99.99). The PSP comes in two packages: PaintShop Pro 2019 for $79.99 ($59.99 upgrade), and PaintShop Pro 2019 Ultimate for $99.99 ($79.99 upgrade). Unfortunately, the PSP is available for Windows only, with no Apple version planned. Corel has added to the many scores of brushes, color palettes, gradients, patterns and picture tubes in PSP 2019. including the newest Wacoms, WinTab, Windows Ink and others. And it continues to maintain compatibility with popular tablets and styluses. The PSP supports just about every graphics and photo file format, including more than 100 RAW file formats. It's added to the many scores of brushes, color palettes, gradients, patterns and picture tubes. ![]() Part of PSP's value proposition is its large library of content. ![]() It would be far better if the user could drag-and-drop the circle of focus anywhere within a composition. Unfortunately, the depth-of-field tool restricts the center of focus to one of nine grid positions. Other incremental improvements include an extension of the Crop tool floating ribbon to provide quick access to the One Step Photo Fix, six popular filters (such as low tone map, retro sepia, and skin smoothing) and a depth-of-field tool. ![]()
