#affinitysuite — Public Fediverse posts

Rio Grande Bosque Recreation Trail
Albuquerque Open Space, NM

Autumn photo from over 10 years ago, shortly after the bike trail had been resurfaced—which is why it looks almost artificial. The Surley frame on my current ride was then new, as well, though the Shimano components have seen ~35 years of faithful use.

I used this image as a subject for learning and practicing with #AffinitySuite so confess it might be slightly over processed 😆

East Fork Jemez River Early Autumn
Santa Fe National Forest, NM

Reprocessed in #AffinitySuite from RAW file to exported jpg. Even with as little time as I spent on the photo I feel this image has more depth, color, and texture than my previous effort.*

I've been using this new app for 3 days now. It is basically Canva's original photo, vector, and layout apps combined into one integrated suite and is "totally free."** I am very impressed. It is a joy to use. I was able to get great results right away. It is fast and responsive. Professional grade.

*If you want to compare, this is the original #landscape image I posted:

**you do need to provide a valid email address to download. You have to pay for a Premium subscription to use their AI tools, but reviewers are not impressed with those; one calling them "shit." This is not open-source. A large corporation hopes to lure you to their paid plan, but it's a gift as is.

Grosse grosse déprime numérique ce matin.
Je commençais tout juste à me sentir à l'aise dans la suite #AffinitySuite en remplacement de cette grosse daube de #adobe et trop contente parce que le logiciel ne faisait pas de IA et ne volait pas mes images...
Ce matin ils envoient un mail de purs connards de la tech : ils ont vendu leur boîte a Canva. Dans un processus de merdification extrême et rapide, les 3 logiciels de la suite sont fondus en un seul. Totalement gratuit. Géré par #canva. Comprenez : un logiciel merdique qui rame, qui ne proposera plus de traitement photo RAW etc... qui n'aura comme objectif que de piller vos créations, pinceaux, effets, TOUT. Pour alimenter une saloperie de IA dont l'objectif est de vous remplacer à court terme.
Creuser sa propre tombe en version #graphiste
Je suis tellement en colère, j'ai envie de leur cracher au visage, genre d'aller là bas et de les agresser physiquement dans leurs bureaux de sales pilleurs de créa de californiens de la tech de chacals de la finance. Help, je suis en vraie détresse là.

Watching the new Affinity suite presentation, after a trembling month of waiting with fear. I'll continue this post with some replies.

Ok, that's actually pretty amazing #affinity #AffinitySuite

Call me a cynic, but the news that Affinity is now free is not good news to me.

The old saying is still valid
'If the product is free, you're the product'

I wonder what this may mean for users now

It's been Oct 30 for a while now, 13 hours here. Which is the same timezone as where #AffinitySuite are based. Still nothing...

Not that I think this will yield anything. But maybe it will and that would make me happy

I was excited because the new version of Affinity Publisher includes multi-page spreads. Would I finally be able to do a paperback cover layout at three pages (back cover, spine, front cover) and not have to re-align everything if the spine width changes?

Sadly, no. It looks like the pages have to be the same size. (Someone please tell me if I'm wrong about this!)

But they *did* add a bunch of machine learning features I don't care about! <eye roll>

Neue Updates für die Affinity Suite, Version 2.5.7.
#AffinitySuite

Bit the bullet and got the #Affinity suite. Mainly because that while I love the #FOSS tools I have been using since I cancelled my #adobe package, there is some functionality missing there that has made my work processes slower and more difficult.

Plus the black week price on the Affinty V2 universal Licence package was pretty damn good.

Any #Fedtips for someone who is a complete noob to Affinity, but who is pretty well versed in #Photoshop, #Krita, #Inkscape, #Illustrator etc?

No affiliation or relationship to #Affinity or #AffinitySuite - but if you are itching to get away from #adobe they have a nice Black Friday discount on their whole suite. I've been using it for a couple years now and have been happy.

Der Kauf von #Affinity durch #Canva hat etwas gutes für alle die Canva als gemeinnützige Organisation nutzen oder eine Bildungseinrichtung sind:

Der komplette #AffinitySuite in der Version 2 kann mit einem aktiven Account kostenlos genutzt werden.

Aus meiner Praxis-Erfahrung mit Canva und Affinity kann ich sagen, das sind tolle Neuigkeiten für alle die gerne etwas komplexere Projekte gestalten wollen.

Upgraded recently and made my first document in Affinity Publisher 2 yesterday - pretty intuitive so far!

Any Affinity Publisher experts out there willing to help a comics creator who is drowning in a RAM issue while trying to export a large PDF?

(I have already tried upping limits and what not - it seems to be something that I, or the software, is fundamentally doing wrong)

Well, I feared they‘d switch to some vile subscription model after the acquisition, but this is an update I can get behind.

Still, if they wanted to truly impress me, they‘d make a Linux port. Now that would be revolutionary.

But we probably get a fucking subscription model after all before that happens. ​:neofox_drowsy:​ This is also a sign of the time: Taking every positive update as the calm before the storm until the inevitable enshittifaction happens.

Here’s to hoping they remain being the exception.

#Affinity の Font Manager は #AffinityPublisher にしか搭載されてないのか。
やはり基本は Publisher でスライス一括書き出しとか現像とかの特定用途だけ Designer / Photo 使うのが効率的かな :tony_smiling:
