First of all, Photos is pre-loaded on Apple products. It is a middle-of-the road app. Good for what you may want (especially since it’s free) but its far short of what high-end editors use. On the other hand, Affinity Photo (for Apple or PCs) was developed in 2015, by a very large team of software and photo experts who were fed up with Photoshop’s lock on on the market. It earned Apple’s app of the year award with the first edition, which is pretty prestigious. Do a quick search and you will see it is rated equal to and in some cases better than the full Photoshop! And, what’s incredible is it is all for a one-time $49.99. Photoshop no longer sells their software outright. It is only available by monthly (very costly for you) subscription. Not sure what it is now. Surely, people are going to jump on what I said with a variety of comments for and against. But check it out on your own and see…be sure to get the advice of two or three other Apple users. By the way, Affinity isn’t the only photo editor, but it’s a favorite among Apple users.
