Schubi63 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Dear Affinity team, is this a fake or is it real? www.techradar.com/news/downloads-advent-calendar-get-serif-affinity-photo-free-today Thanks, Stefan.

Butler To Cats Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 At the end of the second paragraph it mentions "public beta", so I believe it is the same (expiring) public beta Windows version that you can download from this forum, via the top pinned post in the Affinity Photo on Windows Beta section.

R C-R Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It might be different for a PC, but when I click the download button on my Mac, I get a file named "chip-download.dmg," which is only 596 KB, far too small to be the actual Windows beta. More likely, it contains an app that downloads the beta from this forum ... perhaps with some "extras" like adware or spyware. I would not trust it.

Staff MEB Posted December 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hi Schubi63 From their article: Affinity Photo, is yours to download free now as a public beta before its final release next year. This refers to the actual public Beta phase that's running until Affinity Photo release on Windows. The retail/release version is NOT free, only the Public Beta. If you want to download Affinity Photo Beta for Windows you can do so through this forum here (the latest Beta is usually pinned at the top).

Staff JohnAffinityPR Posted December 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 2, 2016 We've asked TechRadar to amend this, as I believe it implies an offer of free software with no restrictions, whereas what they're offering is the free beta which will expire shortly after the full version is launched. The download mechanism is also far from clear. If anyone does want to download the Affinmity Photo for Windows beta, you can do it direct from us at https://affinity.serif.com/photo/windows/ Quote JOHN ATKINHead of PR Affinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This refers to the actual public Beta phase that's running until Affinity Photo release on Windows. Is the final release really going to be next year, Miguel? I think most of us were hoping/expecting that it would be before Christmas!

Alfred Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks, Miguel. That's what I thought. (Time out for a sigh of relief.)

Staff MEB Posted December 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 2, 2016 I meant for Mac, There's no eta for the Windows version, although i believe it shouldn't take much time until it's ready.
