Handsolo got a reaction from Dan C in Affinity Designer & Photo vs Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator
So I am new to Affinity.
I was an Adobe user and recently upgraded to the apple 2021 macbook.
I was using the Adobe CS6 suite to do all my design work and photo editing. When I got my new macbook I learned my pre-purchased Adobe CS6 did not support the new m1 chip so was facing the decision to pay a monthly Adobe subscription of $53(USD) per month forever! After 5 years, this would have amounted to $3180 (USD). That just seems so unreasonable to me because I feel I am 'priced out' of trying to design.
Cue Affinity, the life-savers!
Now that I've been using Affinity, Adobe couldn't pay me to switch back. Smart and thoughtful design + accessible honest pricing. It's also exciting to work with something new and robust like Affinity.
This is what design is all about.
