I congratulate them but after 27 years I'm still using and paying for Photoshop.
- Daub 4y agoI recently made the move to Affinity Photo. The latest version gives me all I need. Muscle memory is still with Potatoshop, but I’m slowly transferring.
- gryf 4y agoI have been contemplating this move as well and nearly bought the whole Serif package on sale but I am Adobe's bitch and getting too old not to just pay for the problem to go away.
- filmgirlcw 4y agoI will say, the Affinity Suite (which just got a great 2.0 update) is excellent. I still use Creative Cloud because work pays for it, but I finally canceled my personal subscription and I just use Affinity or Acorn when I need to do something quick and dirty. An advantage I will say is that if you have more than two machines, Affinity doesn’t make you do the license login song and dance. Because I am frequently using at least 3 computers (and often it’s 5), I like that I don’t even have to have Creative Cloud installed on everything, because it’s just easier that way. For me, Adobe is still better in some ways/more familiar, but Affinity is getting so close that I’m very happy we have this sort of tool as an alternative.
- Cyberdog 4y agoI recently dropped the expensive-as-hell Illustrator license for Affinity's vector drawing program, Affinity Designer, for when I need to slop together SVGs (which isn't that often), and I've been pretty happy with it so far. I've already got Acorn for my bitmap needs but I will definitely consider Photo if/when it's time to change. I would definitely suggest people fed up with Adobe's pricing schemes and awful UIs to give Affinity's products a look.
- worble 4y agoI really wish they would support linux, or at least target WINE.
