I've tried Affinity. Unfortunately a literal lifetime of photoshop has made it basically impossible to switch. It's like getting into a car and all the buttons are rearranged and behave different.

The jokes on me. I pirated photoshop way back in the day. Now I have no choice but to shell out a subscription.

That sounds good (it's what I'd do) but doesn't seem to be related to what I'm commenting on.

I like Affinity Photo a lot, and it's what I use, but Photoshop is definitely the more powerful program. Affinity still doesn't even have an auto-select.
