Today is the end of, what is for me, a very long era.
I'm nixing my CC subscription, just doing Illy, which I absolutely need, and am moving off my once-beloved Photoshop to Affinity Photo. I've been using Photoshop since version fucking 3.
But, I use Photoshop so little, and generally for really basic things I could've done with Photoshop 7(or whatever), so it's really hard to justify continue paying for. I really don't use anything else in the CC suite either.
By the way, Affinity are selling their wares at half price at the moment.
So long, and thanks for the fish.
:(
.
Affinity Designer's a steaming mess to my eyes though, so although I have it, I think I'll continue not using it.
- Cue PonyBoy in 3, 2, 1...Nairn
- I'll be saving myself £370 over the next year, and about £410 per year subsequently.Nairn
- It's not much, monthly, but given I've been looking all my finances recently (I wonder why?), it's not an insignificant amount at the end of the year either.Nairn
- media encoder to cut and convert mp4 to gifsted
- I've been using the Affinity suite for a year or so. My usage is light, so it's been great. The only issue I ran into is it doesn't handle .webp files.section_014
- Doing the same at end of year when CC sub is up. I don't need CC like I used to. Affinity fills the gap now. BTW Affinity apps 50% right now.ETM
- I'm sure you know, but there are tons of vids on YT for all things Affinity. Good luck!stoplying
- I still use Audition, Photoshop, Illy, Bridge...sometimes Premiere and started now with Lightroom. I know alternatives to all of them except Bridge.oey_oey
- And I could live without Adobe for what I do but having all at once seemingly integrated and just there...I have all Affinity Apps but I couldn't make the jumpoey_oey
- huh? hmm... had no idea I made that sort of impression on you... I have little opinion about your post btw outside I'm glad you seem content w/your choice. xoxoPonyBoy
- I should've added a ;) or something thereNairn
- How is Affinity Photo vs Lightroom? I've dabbled in Darktable, and I fucking hate it.garbage
- I've been told so many times that you get used to the quirkiness of Darktable, but again: I fucking hate it.garbage
- just pirate the Adobe stuff, it's easier than it has ever been to get them workiing - some torrents come pre-cracked.face_melter
- Urgh.
Darktable is to Lightroom as GIMP is to Photoshop.
Fuck it up the ass. To death.Continuity - @face Yeah, I think the future is, as one colleague so eloquently put it when CC launched, "less than legal".garbage
- @Cont It makes no sense. Somebody tried to give me the "Darktable is to Lightroom as Resolve is to Premiere". Demonstrably false.garbage
- i would not disagree with your comment about aff designer. it is inferior to ai in many ways. i'm forcing myself to persevere, but have cs3 as backup.hans_glib
- @hans I don't know if you remember, but in a graffiti thread I made a joke about tagging your name. It got buffed before I could get a flick..garbage
- ..seriously quick, it was gone in the morning. But know for one night there was an electrical box in Seattle that said "HANS GLIB LIVES".garbage
- RawTherapee?oey_oey
- @garbage my fifteen minutes of fame right therehans_glib
- Back on topic, though ... I haven't used Designer, but I have used Publisher, and it's mostly pretty good, except for the layers palette behaviour.Continuity
- A Designer...no trace...oey_oey
- Designer needs a lot of work in the UX/workflow area, and needs accessibility features for PDFs added.i_monk
