![]() There are separate threads defending Serif as well as others complaining about today's announcement as well. "I’m psyched: non-destructive all the things!" exclaimed Scoo on Reddit. I bought Photo in 2016 so happy to throw them more money," said CameronWLucas. "Non destructive RAW and luminosity masks will be a game changer. "I'm happy with the warp and shape builder in designer and style picker for text on desktop. Not all creators were so negative, however. The price is fine, the software is excellent, and I'll definitely buy it, but still disappointed. Then it's just a version updated with no new software, and there's not even an upgrade discount for current users. They took down their website like it was going to be some major Apple-style release. Reddit user snarton said, "I'm quite disappointed. "Definitely overhyped IMO, I was sure they would be realising a DAM from all the marketing hype." "While the new features are cool they just seem like features that would be added in an incremental update, not a major overhaul like this was touted to be," argued lurchh. "Yeh, pretty underwhelming but with the glacial pace of updates over the years maybe that’s on me," said crispeddit. They added, "What's the "Thing you've been waiting for" they talked about in the announcement?" The poster of that thread said, "personally I'm very disappointed, not only is it mainly just performance fixes and a redesign, there is also no new feature that's really that impressive." The Affinity subreddit has a reaction thread to the launch of Affinity 2. Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2, and Affinity Publisher 2 all have new features, but some claim that they are not big enough changes to justify a jump to the next generation. The jump to version 2 was supposed to be held off until a major jump in features. That license will normally cost $170, but is currently on sale for 40% off, which brings it down to $100. Serif also announced a Universal License that gets you Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Publisher 2 for use on Mac, PC and iPad. Affinity Designer 2: New featuresĪffinity Publisher 2 for iPad: New Features ![]() ![]() It offers just nine templates, plus a blank page that you can design to your liking.Before we dive into online responses to the Affinity 2.0 launch, let's quickly review what Serif announced today (opens in new tab). Publisher Master doesn’t offer quite the same level of hand-holding that Apple’s Pages features, nor does it offer the same kind of slick-looking layout. It’s not the prettiest or slickest app you’ll ever see, but it proved easy to use and capable of creating polished publications. You can use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on your iPad as standalone apps or opt for the inclusive Office that allows you to use all three in one place. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Publisher Master for iOS, a $6 app for graphic design and layout, but in the end, I was pleasantly surprised. The answer is yes Apple iPad can run Microsoft Office. Publisher Master for iOS doesn’t offer a wide range of templates, but the ones it does offer are useful. Those with limited design sense, especially, will appreciate the guidance that the Pages templates offer, but truly creative types may feel a bit limited by Pages’ lack of a finger- or template-drawing tool. And thanks to its integration with iCloud, accessing documents created on another device is seamless.Īt $10, Pages is pricey, but anyone who needs to create polished-looking documents while on the go will appreciate its features. In addition, you can share a link to documents via iCloud, or send a copy to someone else. Pages saves all of your files in a neatly organized menu, and allows you to move them to another app’s folder if you so desire. ![]()
