Ruined with subscription

I’ve got Pixelmator Pro standalone and I’ll continue to use that, but I see zero reason to pay for a subscription for really fractional feature improvements. I don’t want Apple’s media catalogue. I don’t want all the AI stuff. I don’t need FCP.

Apple have shown that you can have an app that is enhanced with the subscription (Pages, Numbers, etc) but here they’ve nailed the non-sub version to the floor to let it rot. Unless that changes, I’m continuing a move to Affinity which is free and lets you pay for AI in a subscription if you need it and not if you don’t. The core product gets updated as you go. Update: I tried this with subscription trial and it seems it doesn’t support Shortcuts so none of my Mac workflows work here on iPad. Even if you don’t care about the sub model and the money, this is a poor extension to the iPad.

Need to improve

When I try to open more than 1 phot in RAW from my Sony a6700 the program freezes, you have to work one by one.

Gutted about having to have subscriptions money wasted on software that I hardly use

I am sick to death with all these programs not having capability compatibility like to use with a such a powerful iPad as an iPad 11 M4 like topaz I can’t find any software to hence and rejuvenate photographs I took years ago or get rid of noise and still have a good sharp image like topaz and I just want to pay one off payment. I don’t want to be committed to monthly payments when I’m on a pension that does not even pay enough to afford food. I spent my last pension on this iPad and it makes me so angry. I cannot get software for it. If I’m gonna be still could have a dark room and have film like back in the 80s 70s oh my God digital is screwed up due to ego fed developers want to be filthy rich. Have some empathy guys there’s a thing called karma. Be careful.

Very solid but missing one simple qol thing

This is pretty good! Its very solid and I’m happy I don’t have to use Adobe at all. I do wish I could just drag and drop the images I want to edit instead of having to use my files to select the images I want. It’s a very little thing but it makes a premium experience feel that much better, thats why its only 4 stars for me

Rasaas.

Great piece of software. I can’t wait until the staff had the Apple Store get trained on it so I can go in there and get a real lesson coming from Adobe Photoshop. I like to keep everything in House but it’s a bit of a learning curve and there’s a lot of bad information on YouTube.
