Whilst I have some sympathy with those users who only bought AP1 in the last 6 months or so, many of us have been using it since early 2020 (and even earlier), enjoying multiple updates along the way. Paying for a major update after nearly 3 years doesn't strike me as so awful. And, as someone else has commented, you can't seriously expect Serif to survive financially without income AND far from being abandoned, AP1 users not wanting to jump up to AP2 can continue to use the excellent AP1 "til the cows come home" with no loss of functionality/usability. PS. Thank you Ally for your excellent summation of the new AP2; I look forward to more of your outstanding teaching videos 😀

OMG - I bought this suite of apps as soon as I found out it was available. I am over the moon that the universal license includes both the desktop (MAC & WINDOWS) and iPad version licenses! It was a total no brainer! I paid Adobe thousands of dollars in the 25 years I used their software and just couldn’t bring myself to pay a subscription FOREVER! I switched to Affinitiy 5 years ago and didn’t pay a dime for an upgrade! They deserve my money - I love their software! My favorite is Affinity Designer but I also like using Photo and Publisher! I can’t wait to dig in! Thank your for you excellent videos! I know you’re going to give us some excellent tips and I’m looking forward to watching them all!

Ally; Affinity uses masks quite a bit to get work done. Having been a PS user for 30 years. I never did use masks much. While a "get it" when you are showing adjustments but I tend to just lose it all and get confused. I want, in the worst way, to get rid of PS altogether. It costs too much and Affinity was chosen as the replacement. I do use GIMP when I'm in Linux but that is for small adjustments. Have you, or would you consider. doing a video on nothing but explaining masks in general...like a 10-minute lesson? I also have Affinity Designer which I am still learning. I bought that course already. BTW do you think Affinity would ever add neural filters at some point? Thanks and keep these vids coming.

In case you find yourself also in the position to switch platforms, make sure to text the support, they offer u -20% (actually -30% the first time I texted them a few months earlier).

Do you advise me to switch to version 2 considering that I also use a mac (where, however, I had not yet installed the suite)? 2) I noticed that version 1 of affinity photo doesn't open files created with version 2 even if simple. is there a way to fix it? 3) how long do you think version 2 will last before version 3? if I'm not mistaken the 1 came out in 2015 4) By the way I tested v2 both in mac and windows (equivalent hardware) and on mac it seems more responsive. Did this happen to you?

1. If you use Affinity daily or weekly, then it is worth the upgrade. If you only use Affinity once a month or so, I don't think it's worth it to upgrade. 2. Version 1 can't open Version 2 files, but Version 2 can open Version 1 files. There is no way to fix this. 3. I guess it will be around 4 years of updates. 4. I think the Mac version works better. :)

@@AffinityRevolution pretty surprised an image sizing tool is not built in to Affinity as it is in Adobe Photoshop. It's a pretty fundamental tool for anyone trying to plan their exact print sizes quickly. In Photoshop you can put in the print size of one of the dimensions in centimetres or enter the desired print dpi and it will give you the converse based on the file quality, size and resolution. It's a necessary and important tool for anyone wanting to print anything ie any real photographer. Is this not built in?

@@AffinityRevolution also that article you sent refers to paper size but if you are printing to a roll and either want to specify exactly the size for a frame or want to maximise the size at a particular dpi density for a custom frame then set paper sizes are irrelevant so the calculator should be fully flexible (as it is on Photoshop). This really is an essential tool for any serious photographer and a key part of print planning as I said. The software needs to be able to do it. It's great to have advanced editing options which I'm sure are fun to program and I'll probably use them but if the product development team only work digitally and don't engage with photographic artists then they might not appreciate what it important in building a complete software package. I say this as an existing and relatively happy but slightly frustrated user of version 1 who is aware of what's missing. Will this feedback make it back to the product development team?

To be fair, that's the downside of the permanent purchase model rather than the monthly subscription. I get the gripe, but it seems like wanting to have your cake and eat it too. To expect a large discount on the new version because you paid for the old version is to effectively say that you want the benefits of the Adobe model where you always have the new updates, but while still making a one-off purchase. I think it's a bit unfair to characterise it as "being left out in the cold" and "give us money, we don't care if you supported us before". You have permanent ownership and use of the software that you paid a modest figure for, you haven't lost anything, and you don't have to upgrade if you don't think the extra purchase is worth it. (I'm lucky, I was planning to buy it recently but figured I'd hold off until Black Friday in case they give a discount, and as it turns out I get a new version _and_ a discount!)

More thoughts. I agree the feature additions are not worth a full point upgrade. Maybe a 1.10 to 1.20, but not to 2.0 with more $$. Editable raw is nice, but there was no mention of improvements to the actual raw engine which are sorely needed. Also missing (still) is a browser to integrate work flows and file navigation. This has been requested for years. It need not be Lightroom like, just simple like Adobe Bridge. Even DxO has now added some basic functionality in their latest release.

Yes. The raw engine is mediocre and there is no browser. Affinity is meant more for tuning after raw but most of this work can already been done with good raw converters.

I'm still not sure if it is really necessary for me to spend this extra money in the upgrade. Hue masks seems interesting and a quick way to process different colors and specific parts of an image, a bit like color range in PS. But I'm a bit confused about Luminosity masks and what is the difference in applying these or a blend range in a curves adjustment layer for example.

I can drop the money now for the discount for Photo and Designer. Hoping Serif sticks with updating it like Affinity 1 suite so that even if the current changes are mostly QoL and things that should have been an update to Photo 1 (non-destructive RAW). The way I see it, this is basically CS2 to CS3 where CS3 had features but mostly changed the appearance with QoL items bundled and then hopefully the CS4-CS6 levels of improvement/updates can happen over time with Photo/Designer 2. I do wish Serif would take some time to develop a version of Bridge and provide an importer/library management system. There's already a lot of RAW development apps like darktable, Capture1, etc, so I don't really expect them to try and shoehorn their CameraRaw tool into said library management system, but it would be nice to have a selfcontained workflow for easy backup and grouped storage (I import an image from a card, that card is moved over to the assigned library folder + date or whatever, then if I select it to edit it's automatically grouped within the management software grouped with an affinity file that just contains the linked raw edits. From there the edit and base raw is a "single" group entry in the library, I could scan over it seeing all the edits, and then export from there using Affinity's export tool. TBH I would pay an extra 20 bucks for that tool on its own if it received the same quality updates for efficiency, bug fix, etc as the other Serif programs. I could pretty much replace my lightroom/photoshop workflow at that point unless I really need a specific tool/feature.

I've not long brought the trinity 3, it said I get free updates but I guess I get none, I was under the impression that v2 would be free, obviously I would of waited if I knew. And it's not working on Windows 11, so when I upgrade to Windows 11 then its like serif has robbed me as there most likely won't be any updates to V1. If they don't get it working on Windows 11 then I'd never recommend or buy from serif ever again, at least they could promise us that they'll stand by its customers and fix this issue. I'd rather have a dedicated ssd with windows 10 on it just for this program than buy v2 and support a company that doesn't seem to care less for its customers.

Regarding the export dialog: So you show a preview (great!) but you still need to essentially eyeball it or use "the magic of video editing" ? How about building in an "Add to comparison" feature (like you can on many websites when comparing product specs)? Could even be a limited amount, like 2 or 3. Then you get to quickly switch between the export settings and can look for differences (as you would when toggling masks). You could even show difference maps, either in real color space or false color, depending on how "strong" the difference is w.r.t. some measure.
