michael-o Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 As I see, some haters are posting their "I deleted" and so on opinions here. As mostly those rare voices post their individual state of mind and the people who love the product, don't, let me jump in:The update is amazing. Thank you for your work Serif. Looking forward to the journey on V2 and all the micro enhancements in the future.—Nothing is missing, if you are a "real" creative, who could also express hers/his visions on paper and then make it work digitally in even basic tools. Here with all the complexity of the ALink and the power of the personas, there is nothing you can not do.—And pleaese stop with the auto-tracing-request. This is so immature and you are outing yourself as a lazy amateur who simply can not illustrate or don't want to support other creatives who have illustrated images you want to use. All the graphic design "heroes" are from before-the-pc-era. They didn't cry about a missing tool or prices of back then really (!) expencive technolgy. I never read anything about Rams, Eames, Rand, Aicher, Carson wining about software and missing functionalities. GROW UP! As I read some of the negative "critics" here, I don't see, why they bother to stick to this tool (V2) and voice their thoughts here, as V1 is still perfectly fine as long as MacOS won't be updated or the M1/M2 chip upgraded. This generation of greedy demanding one-time-purchase-customers is beyond my empathy. I doubt they jump into forums of their car manufaturere to scream and demand features for free if they release a new car model upgrade and they stick with their "old" one which still does everything they have paid for.Affinity, 10/10 psaldari, StuartRc, PaulEC and 13 others 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPv6 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 True. Paying even full prices per platform for major release is totally ok. Much much better that subscription anyway. And this time the price is not even full - with discounts and "one licence for all platforms" scheme. It`s merely a free software, with this pricing Let`s hope Affinity will not change this in future (because the only viable alternative is subscription... which is no-no anyway) michael-o 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael-o Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 If Affinity will ever change their model, the people here complaining about the low fee will be to blame. Their greed, lack of buisness model knowledge and marketiung strategies, the self-sentered way of thinking. It is so short sighted and destructive. Terrible behaviour.

Guest Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Right they don’t think about supporting Affinity. I also like the new version and am happy to pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borose Media Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I’ve been using Affinity Designer and Publisher for about four years now. I love the new versions and was more than happy to purchase them. It’s sad that so many people are sending so much hate Affinity Serif’s way. I’m more than happy to support this company and their efforts to make this software suite great. Waltarus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartRc Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Absolutely!...couldn't agree more...'There is nothing you cannot do'.... I like that! .The real discussion should be about what you can learn and achieve.. especially with the newly added tools and features...not whether you not appreciate the colour of an icon or shape of a button. Well said😀 Waltarus, pgraficzny, Cealcrest and 1 other 4 Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.4 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.4 0.2301 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4046+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aongus Collins Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Agreed! Three of the new features in Designer are exactly what I wanted, and non-destructive raw processing in Photo will be very useful. michael-o and pgraficzny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltarus Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I've been happily using Affinity Photo for about four years and I really like V2. In fact, my wife is an Adobe user and after she downloaded the trial version of V2 she decided to cut the cord with Adobe. Thanks for all the hard work on this, Serif.
