Amy Rose - Artist Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Hello, I'm hoping you can help me. I am going to purchase affinity photo so that i can digitise my artwork and have greeting cards and other stationery items made. My question is...am i better to use my macbook pro (2012) with the software or my Dell windows laptop? My dell has a blue light filter/eye comfort coating factory applied to the screen so colours can look duller so i am leaning more towards the macbook but it is a late 2012 model. Would that affect anything? What are your experiences? Quote
Pšenda Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 It depends on personal preferences. Try the trial version, and depending on which OS the application suits you best, then buy.

Dan C Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Hi @Amy Rose - Artist, Welcome to the Affinity Forums I agree with Pšenda, the best way to find out is by trialling the applications on both systems and seeing which works best for you! You can access these trials from the below links: Photo - https://affinity.serif.com/photo/trial Designer - https://affinity.serif.com/designer/trial Publisher - https://affinity.serif.com/publisher/trial Pšenda 1 Quote
R C-R Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 @Amy Rose - Artist, in case it is not obvious to you, note that the licenses for Mac & Windows versions are sold separately & are not interchangeable/swappable from one platform to the other. So after testing each trial version (two separate downloads) do not assume you can buy one version & use it on both your Mac & Windows PC.
