Have been playing with the beta versions over the last months (being a Mac user ), seen it gradually improve, and it seems a very capable substitute for Photoshop.
There is/was a feedback forum for the beta users, and they did send a regular product update (again, to the beta users)
That said, it's basically way over my head, as my last real working experience with Photoshop was with Photoshop 4.0 (somewhere in the mid nineties ) and nowadays basically only use Nikon NX2 for processing my NEF files (recently also downloaded Seashore as I had to do some very local retouching on pixel level in a few JPG's).
So I'm a bit lost with all the Photoshop like tools, like layering, brushes, cloning etc., but from what I can grasp of it, it seems to offer very much of the same utilities CS does.
And of course it's way cheaper, as a beta user very recently received an offer to buy the now official version for under 40$ (lifetime membership) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/Affinity_Photo/id824183456?mt=12&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 , while the official price will be 20% higher, still not much IMO.
Will buy it, for that kind of money it's nice to have on my computer just in case I ever need that type of software.
