I switched to Affinity completely, and I also slowly see some people in the industry change. And for video, DaVinci Resolve. There might be cases were you’re tied to CS, but the bulk of the work can be done in these apps.
- risyachka 6y agoThere is nothing standing in their way to do the same with their software in a couple of years.
- oblib 6y agoYeah, but you won't have lost near as much money if they do.
- prox 6y agoDon’t think they will, Serif has always worked this way, at least not unless they seriously start to threaten Adobe with a bigger market share. Also I got 8 free updates that other companies would have asked money for. At least 2 big performance updates.
- chilldsgn 6y agoI've also switched to Affinity back in March, because of the fact that Creative Cloud was becoming too expensive for me and my crappy 3rd world income.
- prox 6y agoThat’s the big plus, it’s affordable and you own it, no more monthly pay outs.
- porker 6y agoWhat about a replacement for Adobe Acrobat Pro on (Windows)? That is the one app that keeps me having a Creative Cloud subscription. In a business setting I find it essential.
- laurentb 6y agohave you looked at foxitPDF ? this is a comparison table from Foxit's site against Acrobat Pro: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-editor/adobe-acrobat-alternative.html https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-editor/adobe-acrobat-alter... (not associated with Foxit in any way shape or form nor a user)
- porker 6y agoThanks, first time I'd heard of it. Looks a good match.
- laurentb 6y agoanother one to look at is Nitro as well (just looked for an alternative based on Silhouette's comment below). here's a link to G2 for comparisons: https://www.g2.com/products/foxit-phantompdf/competitors/alternatives https://www.g2.com/products/foxit-phantompdf/competitors/alt...
- Silhouette 6y agoBe careful with Foxit software, though. They have a history of doing some very unsavoury things. Their Wikipedia page has some details for those interested.
- 0xffff2 6y agoDo you have a specific link? Their Wikipedia page is pretty short and I don't see anything notable in there.
