Affinity's software ticks a lot of boxes for many people. Photo is not photoshop, but it's good enough for many people, and a steal at the price. I really enjoy using their software, though if they produced a Linux version (which, tbh, is unlikely) it would be my absolute favourite.
At last! A straight answer - AP is not the same as PS. Thanks for that.

I find it perfect for my needs, so I won't worry about the difference now. You are quite right - it works really well and is a much more affordable solution.

Since they only recently started providing a Windows version of Affinity (the last couple of years), maybe you will be lucky and get a Linux version eventually? Let's hope so
