90 plus percent of the time, it’s all I use. Maybe 10% of my keepers go to Affinity Photo for additional processing. That’s if I need to composite an HDR image, stitch a panorama, or try layers, masking, or other creative brushes / blemish removal, etc.
I’ve spent a whopping $25 on photography software since going digital in 2005.
It’s a fairly simple tool with plenty of free tutorials on YouTube. I’d be shocked if there are any magical hidden capabilities that would make it worth paying for a guide to learn it. Everything I saw in the 15 page preview is all fairly intuitive and nothing new that would entice me to spend money to find out what other gems might be in there.
