Affinity Photo 1.5 thoughts as Photoshop alternative

[robfilms]

i am a total photoshop newbie.

heck, i'm a video guy who for 30+ yrs has been shooting motion!

but suddenly i'm starting to get stills assignments and instead of relying on photoshop elements or picasa, i was thinking about Affinity Photo 1.5 as my full fledged photo editor.

any Affinity Photo 1.5 users care to share their experiences?

how does Affinity Photo 1.5 work as a jpeg tool?

thanks in advance.

be well.
