Thanks for that Malcolm. I'm going to give it a go. The short promo looks promising, just need to see some tutorials to start to understand what does what. ;o)

Well here's a quick play with an image I took today:



I only did the wobbly bridge bit in the programme but some of the tools do look powerful considering I don't use Photoshop.

Affinity has now been fully launched and is currently being offered at a 20% discount.

At just £29.99 for the full product with free updates/support for several years it seems a steal compared with a monthly rental offered elsewhere.

Remember this only works on Macs.

Well worth investing if your PS CC user, need to get training as slightly different from PS but overall it's same shortcuts and layout with some very good active blending and filters accessible.

I have kept my CD with LR 5 handy just in case decide to cancel PS CC photography package later in year.
