I can totally recommend it, during the time I worked with design it was the closest I could get to photoshop when it comes to features and workflow, even more than GIMP, it’s awesome!
Nice! I got it right after the latest version came out but that’s been a while. They do sales pretty regularly though. It’s definitely not as massive as Adobe wrt features, but they cover the essentials well.
When i see stuff like that I want to buy it. And then I remember I’m not a graphic designer. And unfortunately I’m terrible at any type of layouting or drawing. Be it webdesign or otherwise.
It looks like a great tool though. And very fairly priced.
Guys, seriously. The entire Affinity Suite is $150. Paid for updates through the current version. It’s solid.
Dump Adobe.
Being recently acquired by Canva stops me from trusting that deal in the long run.
even better, use the money you’d pay for adobe suite and donate to open source alternatives
I’m going to give Krita a try for some of the photobashing sort of stuff I do
Honestly Krita is reallly awesome and I would also reccomend

I’m on their site now and the full suite is on sale - €90, not sure if that’s the same for everyone’s local schnorples.
Please reconsider.
Since Affinity have been recently acquired by Canva, many of its users doubt that perpetual license will be respected.
Just look at the comments of its announcement.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Would love to, but they are neglecting Linux Support.
It does work great throigj wine apparently
I hear you, but so is adobe. Linux isn’t in this conversation.
What do you mean? This is Lemmy. Linux is always in the conversation.
The conversation should be the lack of competition in the image manipulation space and on Linux.
Most of my software boxes have been ticked, but that’s a major deterrent for a daily driver.
It’s 50% off right now.
Looks like it’ll run on Linux with Bottles:

Thats outdated. Only version 1 ran on bottles, and quite poorly. V2 is busted
Doesn’t replace Lightroom Classic sadly. Affinity is good, but literally nothing compares (no darktable isn’t anywhere as good)
