Of course. It just depends how deep you want to dive into the complex and powerful, but sometimes complicated functionalities. Or how much you grew into PS.

I like to use Affinity Photo for focus stacking, panoramas and more complex repairs (flare, dust, unwanted parts of background), otherwise Pixelmator is working rather well. Most adjustments I like to do non-destructive, either in Capture One or Affinity Photo.

Thanks,
I will look on them as alternative of my aging photoshop.

Sorry that I hijacked the thread - I tried Affinty photo and is seeems to fit my workflow. Also easy to migrate since most shortcuts by default are set to Photoshop shortcuts.  It has some cool features. I going to order one since there is 20% Christmas discount.
I have few questions - How often Camera RAW are updated?
What about the speed ? - It works just fine with my I5 6500 16GB RAM, 2x512GB SSD and 4X4TB HDD RAID. and my 15Mpixel RAWs
