I compared the three versions and I like this one the best.
Is the Affinity Photo software better than Nik Collection?
Have you ever used Silver Efex or Color Efex?

Well, Marta, I have used and tried several software programmes on my pictures since 2005. With a 'good' DNG my current SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 9 can give very pleasing, natural looking colours on Pentax DNGs - I love it for this. Affinity Photo is a much, much more versatile and wide-ranging processor but it is complex: during the last six months I have been following Affinity online guidance, experimenting with and often replacing lots of old pictures. I would say that in general Affinity handles 'blown' highlights better than SillkyPix but does less well with shadow depth/detail and noise. I have not experienced the Nik Collection but it is often mentioned with approval by users of Affinity in blogs - people seem to use the two together? Silver Efex and Colour Efex, I have never used. After all that, I guess that I am not really being much help, but hope that you will find this interesting anyway!

Sure I find it interesting!
Thank you very much for this explanation :)
I am not particularly savvy about image processing software.
I am still mixing channels with what my very old PS CS4 offers (I made it portable many years ago and it miraculously works @Win 10). But I also use Silver Efex Pro 2 (from the Nik Collection - acquired when it was free) and I find it very good in dealing with overexposed lights and underexposed shadows.
But obviously I am tempted to try something new :) Hence my questions :)
