I've been #adobe-free since 2018.
Being a regular user of (mostly) Photoshop and Illustrator since 2002, once I discovered #Affinity by Serif, I never looked back.
The now normalized and standardized subscription model never worked for me ( I like to own my things, especially my tools and my work), and discovering that Affinity allowed me to achieve the exact same results that I used to get with Photoshop, (...)

The best of getting the Universal License is the 3 software are included, but instead of getting just one version (ex: if you buy just Affinity Photo you have to choose if you want the Windows, MacOS, or iPad version), you will get the Windows, MacOS and iPad versions for Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher.

Don't waste more time, make the right choice now!
