I was going to respond to the original post here: ...but as I was composing my response the post was locked. I also lost the content of my original post. So in summary, I just purchased Affinity 2 - so not too happy about this news. I have been in the design industry for a long time using the industry standard software. In recent times, Affinity started to grab my attention. It looks as though this will be the beginning of the end unfortunately. Canva may be a reasonable tool for the masses to generate some content quickly, but they are trying to become all things to all people and dominate the market - in the same way that Adobe does. They seem to be doing well on that front from a business and profit point-of-view. If the suggestions here are that Affinity will be caught-up in the Canva world, then subscription model is likely (oh, dear) and the development could take a different direction (also, oh dear) I'm now putting a hold on investing time in learning Affinity - I fear my recent investment has been a waste of money. There are too many unknowns from the short statement, so will wait to hear more news, and hope that it is more positive.
