Excellent marketing and PR promotion. Xara could take a lesson from this.

Hi Gary,
I agree...and with NO subscription or online offers and no web stuff. Perfect; just very usable software.
Be safe.

Yes, they started it on March 20 ... I downloaded Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer ... and then virtually immediately bought Photo. and if I can spare some more cash before the offer ends I may buy Designer too. I figure with Xara P&GD and Affinity Photo I have software capable of doing almost anything, but for the cost, Designer is almost too good to pass up, I just don't know if I really need it. I was very surprised how "similar" the interface was to Xara in a number of area's ... just cant get used to having to open new layers all the time, instead of just manipulating individual objects though.

It's the 'layers' thing that I've never got the hang of.

chales moir [ yes he] once responded to the request for nested layers in xara by saying that grouping objects was 'good enough' and in fact the equivalent of layering
affinity does nested layers; affinity understands layers -so just think of them as 'objects' in the C.M. sense....
