Yay, more subscriptions.

👌Adobe, I am sticking to my Affinity Photo 1.

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.

It’s okay. I’m using Krita. $0

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

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.
