dcr Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 3 minutes ago, NNN said: which Adobe apps will be executed and which will be spared. Affinity Publisher & Adobe InDesign would get merged into Affinity InDesign, dropping the "Publisher" name to escape the negative association with Microsoft Publisher. Affinity Photo & Adobe Photoshop would probably become Affinity Photoshop. Affinity Designer & Adobe Illustrator, well, that's anyone's guess. Basically, everything Adobe would be renamed Affinity, except for a simplistic graphic editor for the social media crowd. That near useless app can keep the Adobe name.

Photoshop and Illustrator would have been broken up into multiple Quark plugins that would have cost $500 each. And then each new release of QuarkXPress would break the plugins so you'd have to buy all new ones. kenmcd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intuos5 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 18 minutes ago, Patrick Connor said: But what about us buying them out ??? I'm not gonna pay for the raised subscription prices FYI. So not a good business model. But you can opensource Creative Cloud. It ain't got any good tech besides obfuscated proprietary file formats anyways... Not sure how that's a better business model either. Besides, professionals only use Affinity V2, starting tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcr Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Oh, and when the Adobe logos are taken off their buildings, have a livestream event where the Adobe signage is thrown into a big bonfire or, if the materials are environmentally unsafe for burning, livestream them being thrown into an industrial shredder or destroyed with axes and sledgehammers.

Granddaddy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I enjoy pointless speculation as much as the next person. This thread is filled with examples I've enjoyed reading. Jokes about Serif buying Adobe are good for a chuckle. Newer forum members might want to visit Serif Europe's world headquarters in Nottingham as captured in April 2022 in Google Street View (yes, that's a duck flying by in the upper right corner, not a plastic model attached to the light stanchion. He's visible in a couple of images as you ride down the alleyway in Street View). Compare to Adobe world headquarters in San Jose, California, in January 2021. Adobe has dozens of other locations around the world. Speculation about the exact hour of the next APhoto release reminds me that I stayed home from work on the day that Windows 95 was released based on Amazon's promise to deliver my copy on that very day. The express delivery driver handed the software package directly into my hands around midmorning. Today, I continue to breathe deeply into a paper bag while waiting for "Something Big" in Affinity Photo.
