I chose to assume I had made all the edits I would want to do and exported all of them as full-size high quality JPGs. ![]() Ken, I was in the same boat as you, but I made the jump. It is well worth the bundle price for the introductory universal license. ![]() I’ve been using the Affinity 2 suite since it was made available, and it appears that Serif continues to respond to the many requests it receives for enhancements and refinements. I laugh until I’m ready to throw up when I hear Adobe talking about the “common interface” shared by Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign-their teams have never been able to agree about anything from menu elements to keyboard shortcuts, and it is cringey to me that in 2022 Illustrator still uses a slew of vector tools where FreeHand used one to accomplish the same task. (I especially dislike that I can’t script Publisher or take advantage of the wide range of import filters that InDesign provides, but them’s the breaks.) What I like is that the Affinity teams don’t seem to be at war amongst themselves about a common interface. What it’s missing seems due more to the unwillingness of Serif to invest in areas that would only benefit a niche segment of their user base. The Affinity suite is much closer in concept to the professional-level tools of the Creative Cloud suite. ![]() I had the CS6 bundle, but unlike you did not subscribe when Adobe went down that road. I used Photoshop often, and hated-but-used Illustrator. I did a sidegrade for InDesign when it first came out around the turn of the century (!), and considered myself at expert level. Prior to that, I was happily using the usual suspects-PageMaker, FreeHand, and whatever photo utility I could scrounge. Thanks for the mention of this package Adam! I have a similarly dysfunctional relationship with Adobe that stretches back decades, when I purchased my first scanner and found it was bundled with Photoshop.
