“Setting new standards for creative software, Affinity V2 is by far the biggest, most exciting launch in the history of Serif. Version 2 of all Affinity apps launches todayĪshley Hewson, Managing Director of Serif, says: Affinity Publisher 2 – nimble, no-nonsense page layout software boasting StudioLink, a unique way of using the editing tools from the two other Affinity productsĭesigned and built to empower creatives and bring out the very best in their work, Affinity V2 integrates photo editing, graphic design, illustration and layout into a super-sleek workflow – delivering a holistic experience unlike that of any other creative suite. Affinity Designer 2 – intuitive, imaginative vector graphic design and illustration.Affinity Photo 2 – ultra-powerful photo editing and raster painting.I saw you can now combine masks with boolean operators, this is great, I'm looking forward to trying it out.ĭon't estimate the amount of work which has gone on in the backend, which has huge ramification for all the apps. What I am looking to see is improvements in Channel and Mask workflow, in V1 there are some clunkiness that makes it much less versatile compared to Photoshop. Going through the list of improvements, what I am trying to determine is what is not mentioned under-the-hood refactoring, which can be as great or greater amount of work to do, and there is some indication of this in the feature list, and from reviews I've heard the Raw development in Photo has greatly improved. If it was in the budget, even the full price would be worth it, even if Publisher wouldn't get as much use.Īn interesting aspect to me is the universal license with iPad, and since I have a 1st gen iPad Pro on which Affinity Photo works great, this should be interesting. Most of this discussion is somewhat off-topic to the OP question, ie the fact he has 2 of the 3, and if there is an individual upgrade discount.Īt any rate, while I think maintaining the sale price for people who upgrade beyond January 25th would be advantageous (inc on individual apps), even though it is a lot for me on a disability pension for the whole package, having thought about it I know I would regret it later if I didn't upgrade for various reasons, and I'm happy to support their work after having received free updates for so long. So that’s my two cents, as a grateful and satisfied customer (who admittedly sounds like a shill). New customers will continue to discover the benefits of Affinity, but until then, the 40% discount is pretty much for us. V1 owners are the primary audience for V2, since Adobe’s marketing budget makes them the Starbucks of design software. I’m pretty sure I paid separately for iOS last time.) (I’m still skeptical that I read that correctly. Plus, the Affinity’s Universal License works across Windows, Apple, and iOS. Paying $100 every 5 or so years seems the least we could do for products that Adobe would charge *checks notes…$54圆0mos…* $3240. Our continued support of their efforts makes that possible. $99 dollars is an unimaginably low price to pay for this suite of tools. While I agree that a loyalty discount would be fair, I think that Affinity has more than proven their commitment to us through V1’s (1) price point, (2) performance, (3) tutorial videos, (4) feature updates, and (5) provision of a permanent license without subscription.Īffinity and DaVinci (along with a recent find for photo management, Excire) are my team of Adobe killers.
