I am honestly not happy with this announcement. As others have said before, these kind of announcements and promises have been done before and it always ended up as a subscription service in the end and customers lost their ability to purchase perpetual licenses. I gave Affinity Photo a chance in 2017 while looking for an alternative to Adobe Cloud. It was great and I also learned to appreciate Designer and Publisher over the years. But let's be clear, the major reason for choosing Affinity over other companies was and is the perpetual license. I am absolutely willing to pay for an application and support its developers and to be honest Affinity was always on the cheap side of things for me. I would have purchased the program for 2-3x the amount as well. But I want to own the software and decide on my own if and when I'll upgrade to a new major version and pay again. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and sincerely hope you will keep your promise to keep perpetual licenses.

Designer persona in AP
Thomas_Photo replied to pointery's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Interesting theory @walt.farrell I think that the two Personas, might just open the current selection in either Photo or Designer. -

Beta update?
Thomas_Photo replied to Gregory St. Laurent's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
Remember, that you paid 54€ once for this software (or even less during a sale). I bought Affinity Photo in 2017, and 2 lears later still get free updates with a lot of new features, performance improvements, new camera support... With Adobe I'd already paid more than 240€ and not even own the software. Please remember this, before saying that "we don't have xy yet" or "development is slow". -

Are you on the latest Mac beta? I experience the same issue on Windows. See here: -
Release date estimation
Thomas_Photo replied to PilleniusMC's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
I hope there will be a new Windows beta soon, I just checked the Mac log of fixes, and would like to test the fix for Fuji raw files. -
Slow develop speed
Thomas_Photo replied to mike21's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
The develop time got faster with the .209 beta, but still not as fast as 1.6 has been for me. -
I sent an e-mail to Mr. Bronger from Lensfun in November about the X-T3 support, but got no answer yet. What about Serif allocating some more ressources on camera support? I know that Lensfun is an external library, but that doesn't make it impossible for you to fix. I have contributed code to open source software for several years, and sometimes you just have to take a look at an external dependency, and send them a pull request with a fix/addition, in order to resolve a bug that affects your customers. RAW development is an essential part of Affinity Photo. The X-T3 won several "Camera of the year" awards, and is mentioned as one of the best APS-C cameras on the market. Not supporting it is disaapointing and converting the RAW files with an external program is time consuming. I have taken a look into Lensfun code and it seems that for a new camera, you only have to add the crop factor into this file: https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun/blob/4dd189fda265cd26baccf430470482d7f2528d3c/data/db/mil-fujifilm.xml I am not sure which exact value the X-T3 has (approx 1.5), and not sure if that would fix the issue already but the lenses I use are supported and work fine in Affinity in combination with my X-T20 so it must be something missing for the X-T3. Please try to resolve this issue.
