Joe here. I have been looking for an alternative to Adobe's "bloatware" for some time now. Issues with not having enough hardware to support them any longer, dealing with their massive upgrades which offer no value and generally becoming disillusioned with their cloud subscription concept. I'm an illustrator and comic artist (undergroundcomix.ca) who is looking for inexpensive, powerful software to edit and draw with (Although I use Clip Studio Paint in production for artwork and layout). Regardless, I have found everything I need in the seamless, award-winning Serif software. What a godsend! It's like slipping into a warm bath every time you use Photo and Designer. Keep up the great work everyone, it's very much appreciated.
