I love it! You can’t beat the price. Just learn as you go. Let me know how you like it, ok?
Besides, you said after a certain point you’d enjoy a challenge. Procreate can provide that. They use layers which are terrific once you get used to them.
Let me know if you like Affinity. I love apps, especially photo apps.
You know what, you might want to process your photos in Apple’s Photo app first which is very capable, straightforward and keeps improving. I might pop a photo into Pixelmator Photo if there is something I cannot figure out how to do in Photos.
I was using Hash Photos for tags (on some photos) but with Photos new captions capability for the iPad I probably won’t use it as much.
These apps sort of overlap on what they can do. Also any photo precious to me I duplicate before I do anything. Then I keep it like that. The Cloud space is so inexpensive.
Now you can add captions to your photos in Photos which for me makes so much of a difference. I’m going to label the originals in the photos I cherish.
Then I head over to Procreate. And the fun begins! I do digital scrapbooking a lot. I use to buy a lot of regular scrapbooking stuff but I wasn’t using it all that much. I was having so much fun buying all the beautiful papers, small machines, markers. You name it!
With the digital, I can reuse digital designs and I find I get considerably more done with some amazing results at times. I’m spending a lot less money.
You can start a page with one or more photos and maybe just simply add an explanation, description and that will give the photos more depth so to speak, poems, quotes… whatever you’d like. Or go all out… I don’t really plan anything but it comes together.
I get the beautiful digital graphics at Scrapgirls.com. (They’ll sell to guys too!) I buy during sales.
Lots of luck, Davey Gravy!
