Charlie Francis Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Having downloaded Affinity 2 on my Mac, when I look in Applications, it is just showing the original Affinity Photo. Do I have to get rid of this version before Affinity 2 shows up there and if so how do I do that? Thanks Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 No, you do not have to remove V1 for V2 to work. However, depending on which store you got it from you may have to install V2 if you have it as a *.dmg file. If so, double click on that file & follow the instructions to install it.

MikeTO Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Hi Charlie and welcome to the forum. If you're not seeing Photo 2 in Applications then I agree with R C-R that you likely downloaded it from Serif's site and didn't install it from the Mac App Store. If that's the case you will find the DMG in your Downloads folder. Here are Serif's instructions: https://store.serif.com/en-gb/help/installation-guide/ R C-R 1 Quote Download a free manual for Publisher 2.4 from this forum - expanded 300-page PDF My system: Affinity 2.4.2 for macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Francis Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Thank you both. Didn’t realise I had to drag it across into the Applications box in the set up. Do I not have to get rid of the original Affinity in Applications as I obviously don’t need both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Entirely up to you. You don't have to remove v1 - it and v2 will run quite happily together.

R C-R Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I suggest keeping V1 around for a while for several reasons. One is that you can migrate some some stuff but not everything from V1 to V2, so it is nice to have V1 open as a reference when setting up V2. Another is that there are still some bugs in V2 that are not in V1. There are other reasons ... just do a quick search of the forum for more about that.

Jammy Brit Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 It is a shame that affinity 1? is not still available to the hundreds if on thousands of people who are maintaining perfectly functioning macs older than 2020 and would like to try and buy the software . At a time when we are running short of resources worldwide wasting perfectly good tech by forcing obsolescence on customers makes me angry.
