The Price Is Right
About a year and a half ago I mentioned Affinity Photo in an article the Webmaster’s Blog. It’s a fully capable Photoshop replacement that is a one-time purchase instead of a monthly subscription. Affinity is offering a half-price sale through August 15th and there is a six-month free trial offer on their website now. Their line-up includes Affinity Photo2, but Affinity Designer2, their Illustrator clone, and Affinity Publisher2, their In Design clone. It’s available for both MacOS and iPadOS. If you’re a PhotoShop, Illustrator, or In Design user, give Affinity a try. I use these and like them, and you can’t beat the price.
