    Guys, seriously. The entire Affinity Suite is $150. Paid for updates through the current version. It’s solid.

    Dump Adobe.

      Being recently acquired by Canva stops me from trusting that deal in the long run.

        I’m going to give Krita a try for some of the photobashing sort of stuff I do

          I can totally recommend it, during the time I worked with design it was the closest I could get to photoshop when it comes to features and workflow, even more than GIMP, it’s awesome!

      I’m on their site now and the full suite is on sale - €90, not sure if that’s the same for everyone’s local schnorples.

        Please reconsider.

        Since Affinity have been recently acquired by Canva, many of its users doubt that perpetual license will be respected.

        Just look at the comments of its announcement.

        Nice! I got it right after the latest version came out but that’s been a while. They do sales pretty regularly though. It’s definitely not as massive as Adobe wrt features, but they cover the essentials well.

            The conversation should be the lack of competition in the image manipulation space and on Linux.

            Most of my software boxes have been ticked, but that’s a major deterrent for a daily driver.

      Doesn’t replace Lightroom Classic sadly. Affinity is good, but literally nothing compares (no darktable isn’t anywhere as good)

      When i see stuff like that I want to buy it. And then I remember I’m not a graphic designer. And unfortunately I’m terrible at any type of layouting or drawing. Be it webdesign or otherwise.

      It looks like a great tool though. And very fairly priced.
