Photoshop has always been the king of the photo-editing market – a position reinforced once more by Adobe’s release of a native version of Photoshop designed for the new generation of Macs with Apple’s own processor in March 2021 (see So if you are "in", as you mention, for "fun", with the possibility for advanced photo editing as well and a tight integration with Apple Photo's PP would be my first choice.That’s not to say we won’t be considering some excellent alternatives to Photoshop here. However much easier than Affinity in my opinion.
Still it has a "learning curve" certainly if, for instance, you are not used (as I am) to the concept of working with layers. I love the the AI-tools and other intelligent functions that make life "easier" while still maintaining excellent quality, and of course it's comprehensive editing capabilities for photo's I love the way PP integrates with Apple Photo's. For very advanced RAW-editing I occasionally use RawPower. Since about 8 months I am using Pixelmator Pro and Pixelmator Photo (iPad) Haven't used Affinity anymore (In the past only for focus merging and photo stacking, which today I can handle "in camera" ). If you are shooting a lot in RAW, Affinity Photo does not work well with Apple Photo's (since version 1.7 or 1.8 today they are on version 1.10 and despite a lot of bug-reports and complaints of numerous users they didn't solve that issue). However it has a steep learning curve for "none Photo-shopper's" like me. So, Affinity has lots of high quality professional capabilities. Have been using Aperture in the past until it "stopped" For more than a decade I am not a user of Photoshop (to complicated to my "logic"). Have been using them both mainly for editing photo's.
