I have been using GraphicConverter for around twelve years. It is my go-to app for almost everything graphical. Affinity, Luminar, Adobe, et al. each offer excellent apps with their individual strengths; however, GraphicConverter is usually faster to work with than either them. As it has continued to evolve over the years it has added features some of these others don’t yet have and also continues to raise the level as to when you might switch between using GraphicConverter and one of the more specialized photo editing applications. I think it is a terrific value and have no reservation in recommending it to everyone that does anything with graphics. It is truly a workhorse!
