Affinity CEO Ashley Hewson stated that AI and LLMs will not replace professional photo-editing tools, emphasizing that specialized software will remain crucial for high-precision workflows. While AI excels at tasks like quick image selections, professional tools offer greater depth and control. Hewson highlighted significant growth in the Indian market, with Affinity aiming for a twenty-fold increase in app adoption over the next three to five years, supported by localization efforts including support for Indian languages.
