Graphics
Me and this tool use to be everyday buddies for many years. Although, still the best for vector illustration. We’ve kind of gone separate ways. A phase maybe? Adobe Illustrator is highly recommended for pro industry users.
Now, if I really had to give an answer, I’d say this is the nearest to Adobe Illustrator. Another Affinity product from Serif. Affinity Design allow me to do everything I need for creating vector drawings, logos, and illustrations.
(Update: May 2022. This Application is no-longer supported)
As dodgy as this software can sometimes behave. It has been pretty good at handling basic vector graphics tasks, such as drawing logo designs and relatively simple illustrations.
Photo
Based on a new AI technology engine and designed for creative tasks with maximum performance and flexibility. Luminar Neo is the creative image editor for creators seeking high-quality editing results with the same level of satisfaction you get with Luminar AI.
Discover how image processing has truly evolved to a place where the process has become less of a roadblock for creative photographers and artist bringing their ideas to life.
I really like how this software allows you to achieve great looking photo edits – no matter how extreme, or subtle, quick time!
If you are not familiar with Affinity Photo, well this is the closest true alternative I can find that sits anywhere near Adobe Photoshop for Mac.
Affinity Photo has a sibling app for vector art called Affinity Design.
Luminar 4 is a professional photo editing app and plugin powered by cutting edge AI technology. this is a mean piece of software
I tend to neglect this one quite a lot. However, it always comes in handing for a quick photo synching solution, as well as off course managing your photos.
Its also pretty handy because of its seamless integration with other Apple software, by allowing easy access to your photos from within an Apple application….
I use this all the time for quickly resizing images and many other quick little editing tasks. Such as fixing screenshots, pngs, cropping, etc
Well, if you haven’t heard of Photoshop, then maybe you are really, really new to this, or, you’ve been living off-grid.
I have an Adobe Creative Suite account, which I look forward to dipping into when the demand requires.

A more than useful apple equivalent to Microsoft Word.

If you know InDesign or Quark Express. This Affinity Publisher, Serifs answer to document publishing and design software.
