tried really hard to make affinity work for me . . .

[T R E N T R E K E R]

after 27 years with photoshop/illustrator, i finally had enough of their bugs & incompetent "customer service" and came to affinity.  i loved it for a week but lately i realize...

1.  can't scoot images between files or programs.

2.  crash crash crash all the f'n time.

3.  just got an error which said "save failed because ownership of the file could not be verified."  WTF??!!??  that destroyed 20 minutes worth of work.  it was done.  now it's not.

4.  can't select and either move, copy or delete the selection without click click click scroll click scroll click click.  JFC.

5.  did i say crash?  crash crash crash.  all day and night every hour.

i've a 6-month old macbook pro with 16 gigs of memory and 10 cores.  no reason for the crashing.

as for everything else?  i'm about to get drunk and go back to adobe.  'cause at least that's bullshit i know.

well, i got drunk and purchased some kinda suite at adobe.  but they had just made an enormous update which is the code word for more bugs than a rotten cow corpse.  then one day i opened publisher.  crashes ceased (thank buddha) so on the last day of the $100 sale, i purchased the suite.

love publisher!  that's some intuitive user interfacing, there.  designer is cool.  not perfect between the two i've no need for indesign or illustrator and that's a spectacular development.   still getting the hang of photo.  still having to use photoshop as a backup.  like, 50% of the time.  maybe some day i'll be able to fully ditch adobe (using apple's final cut pro so no premiere needed) but that day is not today.

peace out!
