Affinity was aquired by Canva.
- Ew.Continuity

Oh well.

Just downloaded the 30-day trial version.
I have V1 so let's check V2 for the next 30 days.
I'm very curious.I know I can use Adobe Bridge for free.
So now the only Adobe tool that I really frequently use and I still need a valid alternative to is Acrobat DC.There are great alternatives for:
AI, Ps, In (that I frequently use)
Pr, Au (that I sometimes use)
Ae, Lr, Dr (that I never use)
Xd (doh!...)

Not bad, but not what I expected. ... Affinity making a After Effects competitor... that will be another story.
- Nairn1
Do they list the improvements over v.1 anywhere?
- Doesn't seem so.
But, now that you mention it, I want to know, too.Continuity - https://affinity.ser…Sparky
- ^ Nice!
I'm not mad at any of this. Think I'll buy it next month.Continuity
- Doesn't seem so.

WTF that's it? lol
- oh... not very exciting.shapesalad
- dude in that video sounded like it's gonna revolutionise the industry with some amazing new features and maybe even a new (AE/ video) app.NBQ00
- I would even perchasse all Apps right now but its just the wrong fucking month for me. Plus, in the middle of the month!!oey_oey

Introducing the Universal Licence
- Okay so actually nothing new besides a new version. Old version will not be updated anymore. Everytime there's a new version it's gonna be like this.oey_oey
- Like Adobe CS 5 then Adobe CS6, etc...
No new software besides Publisher for iPad. Good pricing.oey_oey - Well, I kind of appreciate the whole UL thing, but they didn't have to go through all that hype.Continuity
- Agreed. Way too much hype for a V2. I'll still probably get it.garbage

The "utm_" fields in the "Something big is coming" e-mail link were a little bit of a spoiler ;>

Website down for maintenance.

- Pantone Issues?utopian
- I bet they're preparing for greatnessoey_oey
- Hopefully it’s a new logo and brand typeface. Current one looks dorky.shapesalad
- @utopian they had latest Pantone from the start, the issues was with Adobe ;)grafician
- Fucking tease.garbage

Just seen Affinity say something big coming... alternative for AE or XD/Figma??
- da vinci resolve is a decent alternative to aehans_glib
- Maybe they're announcing they got bought by Adobe?Continuity
- Can't wait
does look like "motion" is next in linegrafician - btw all Affinity apps are Mac optimized, you can't believe how fluid they work on latest Macs, Adobe CS is a joke compared to these in speedgrafician
- The latest Publisher update isn't playing well with FontBase on the M1, though, which is a real pain in the arse.Continuity
- I'm seriously thinking about making the jump, I've been playing with Affinity for years now and there are things I would surely miss...oey_oey
- QBN crashed for a bit? My old comment was "I'm expecting an AE alt, but dreaming of a Premiere alt".garbage
- Also any M1 users, how's the Affinity suite been so far?garbage
- ^ FontBase issues in Publisher aside, it and Photo both run super-smoothly on my M1, _but_ I should also say that I'm just an occasional user ...Continuity
- ... and not an hours-on-end user. So, like everything else, YMMV.Continuity
- Can they make all the shortcuts and the layout the smae as AE? I cant be arsed to learn any more warezwoowahesque

Affinity having a 30% discount on everything for Black Friday
- nice!pango
- it was 50% off around feb and march.
if any of you want to wait. otherwise 30% not bad at all.pango - They're nice like that yeahgrafician
- Affinity looks cool, but will NEVER used in a vast majority of design and advertising studios. Unfortunately Adobe will always rule.utopian
- Studios usually buy what designers ask for. Hardware AND software.
If enough designers will ask for Affinity apps, then the studios will complygrafician

Affinity Designer and Photo don't recognize/show my installed fonts...
I mean it only recognizes System Fonts and Fonts in the User Library.Anything I've activated either in FontExplorer X Pro or FontBase is not showing.
I've been searching for half hour for a solution and I just can't understand.
- I uninstalled FontExplorer before installing FontBase to avoid issuesoey_oey
- Illustrator also doesn't show fonts activated in FontBase...WTF?! I already changed the root folder option and nothing works. anyone?oey_oey
- You need to restart it to recognise newly installed fonts - for each new fontgrafician
- Also in Ai you need to use Adobe Fonts/Typekit to activate any fontsgrafician
- frustrating, trying to start a project for a hour now...and I just can't get things to work. I don't remember such an issue ever.oey_oey
- okay, I just read that about AI too, but in Affinity nothing is working. thanks for your input grafician!oey_oey
- It's the same with Figma or other apps btw, for each new font installed, you need to restart the appgrafician
- Okay, fonts from FontBase get activated in Affinity only when I restart the computer...LOL!oey_oey

Got Affinity Photo and want to try it out on a project to replace PS.
Any good tutorials on retouching, things like spot healing tool, patch tool, and so on?
