To Alfred Upsplash is a fledgling Microstock agency, this is how micro stock agencies start, they start giving images away for free and when they amass enough images from the fools and village idiots who supply them, they then start charging for images. This is how Istock started all Microstock sites are parasites who feed of the fool Photographers who supply them.

I disagree you are advertising Upsplash, you have Upsplash within your software as a recommended place to send your images. You are directly advertising Photographers to Upsplash who will those Photographers zero money for their images. So you are undermining pro and semi pro photographers trying to sell their images for sensible prices.

How can Affinity photo be taken seriously by pro and semi pro photographers when it advertisises within its software an agency undermining those photographers?

Yes within the Stock panel, I agree anybody can get those images through their websites anyway, but why does Affinity photo advertise Upsplash who gives it images away for free as a place to send images. You have to pay for Cameras, Camera lenses, Computers, and Computer software like Affinity, we don't get these things for free, so why advertise a site giving images away for free undermining all photographers trying to sell their images for sensible prices.?

My question is about Upsplash who gives images away for free being advertised as as a place to send your images within the latest update of Affinity photo. But thank you for approving my thread so quickly. As you are a moderator why is Affinity advertising Upsplash? Which undermines all pro or semi pro photographers trying to sell their images for sensible prices? I started using Affinity photo when Lightroom went to subscription, the other reason was Adobe was part of microstock which killed of thousands and thousands of pro photographers. But it seems Affinity photo has gone far worse than Adobe by advertising within its software Up splash that gives its images away for free, which will kill of thousands more photographers.
