I was able to use that trick to cancel my Adobe sub without a cancellation fee and then bought Affinity Photo 2 right after. I’ve integrated it fully into my workflow now and won’t ever look back.
Fuck Adobe and fuck their stranglehold on creative industries.
If history is any guide they’ll moan and complain, 2% of them will not buy the subscription, and then the other 98% will bend over and take it up the ass.
there is only one or two features i miss in the affinity suite; but been working with it exclusively for the past 3 months (after owning it for years), and i’m never looking back.
although their refusal to support linux and the linux work-arounds being incredibly spotty has made me consider just giving up and moving onto gimp etc. i have tried to replace photoshop with gimp in the past but it’s just too inconvenient to do “the same things” so i always give up half way through the learning process.
i really wish affinity would try to at least offer a hand to the linux community; it’s somewhat upsetting that they have rejected any and all linux efforts.

Will do.
Elements were always just so much inferior to the full versions that you’re better off using free alternatives anyway
