Affinity Six-Month Trial
Jess Weatherbed (Hacker News, Reddit):
Design software developer Serif has launched a new six-month free trial for its Affinity creative suite, which is well regarded as being one of the few viable alternatives to Adobe’s professional design apps. The offer is available for Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher starting today on Mac, Windows PC, and iPad.
Affinity uses a one-time purchase pricing model that has earned it a loyal fanbase among creatives who are sick of paying for recurring subscriptions. Prices start at $69.99 for Affinity’s individual desktop apps or $164.99 for the entire suite, with a separate deal currently offering customers 50 percent off all perpetual licenses.

My partner is a graphic designer and Adobe is the only manufacturer that currently meets her professional needs.
Meanwhile I’m an audio professional who has advanced graphics needs that Affinity serves perfectly. For my usage, the “prosumer” capabilities of Affinity are great. I’m a full convert.
In the same way that if she suggested I use some other audio tool that was an upstart rival “disruptor”, I’d balk at it, affinity is in a similar situation for getting actual professionals to switch. I wish them luck but it’s a hard sell.
I just installed and used Affinity. All I need is an easy way to crop multiple screenshots to the same size, and that was a no-brainer.
Now I need to figure out how to export each layer as a separate png.
Love the idea of buying software. I wish them the best of luck, and also that Canva won't shit can them in the near future.
