Affinity apps really saved me when I was laid off suddenly a few years ago. I spent 15 years using Adobe products for work then found myself without a license. In the old days I used to buy the apps outright, but having lost my job I couldn't afford the CC subscription (I didn't realize that actually charge you even more than $60/month if you don't have an annual commitment) to brush up my portfolio and seek work. The learning curve wasn't so bad coming from Adobe products and I decided from then on, no matter whether I had a license to Creative Cloud or not, I would try to do as much of my work as possible in Affinity (or other non subscription) apps as I could. It was a lifesaver, more literally than I'd like to admit. I am deeply grateful, and as long as they offer a non subscription license I will be there buying every version they offer.
Looking forward to what they have in store for the future. There are a couple of tools I still have to use CC for, but I am hoping to see any reliance on Adobe end as soon as possible.
Serif’s managing director Ash Hewson teased the Affinity overhaul today in a YouTube video.
“Ever experience true creative freedom? Do you dream of a more powerful fluid workflow? We know you do. So we’ve been busy coming up with something special. The next-level creative experience. Refined and redesigned with hundreds of enhancements and incredible new features…
We’re realizing our vision so you can realize yours. New ways of working, new ways of thinking, everything you want in a creative suite. We supply the tools, you just have to take them, sooner than you think.”
The official announcement and release are set for November 9, so we don’t have long to wait. At the very end of the video, Hewson also teased that “one more thing” will be coming that the Affinity community has been waiting for.
