You have to inject a bit of common sense when looking at these price, how much it costs, not what you save, is the correct way to look at anything like that, if you still think it’s value for money, you just bought yourself a good app. From a bang for buck perspective, if you wanted, you can easily get that money back by creating textures, brushes and patterns and then selling them.

Common sense, indeed; I perceive it as dishonest. Primitive city market marketing. No matter how great the product is. It is luring customers - their bread and butter - into a purchase. I recognize this strategy, yes but I never buy products from stores or websites who use it. It is for sheeple. 70% off... Join the army, see the world... If a company can't convince you that the product has great value for money but has to trick you into a sale... nah. I would never, ever want that kind of relationship with my customers.

I have never thought that I was tricked into buying FF9. I also have never regretted spending more for the Pro edition so I can generate large, high precision, 16 & 32 bit images, bump maps, & so on.

wirra Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, I recently purchased a copy of Affinity Photo. I have an older version of Filter Forge (Filter Forge 5) which I cannot seem to get to work with Affinity Photo. Can anyone please let me know if there is a way to get Filter Forge 5 to work with Affinity Photo 1.8.3? Regards, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only gripe I have with FF are the lack of tutorials on Youtube. Had it not been for firstdefence coming to the rescue I wouldn't have been able to create my weird 'computer controlled' lettering (cheers again fella) firstdefence and R C-R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirra Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi firstdefence, I just tried to use Filter Forge 5 again with Affinity Photo and it worked this time. It appears I wasn't using it on a Pixel layer so I guess that was the problem. I'm very new to Affinity Photo and was trying to use the filter on a new document which didn't contain any Pixel layers. Sorry to waste your time. For what it is worth, I also have a program called Abstract Curves which also works with Affinity Photo now that I used it on a Pixel layer. 😀 Cheers, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
