That’s been matched by the positive feedback we’re getting from people who are making Affinity Photo and Designer part of their everyday professional workflow. First presented as Mac only programs, they were introduced to Windows in 2016.Īshley Hewson, Managing Director of Affinity developer Serif, says: “The response to our launch for Windows has been phenomenal – better than we ever could have predicted. Image editor Affinity Photo was named ‘Best Mac App’ 2015, and ‘Best Imaging Software’ 2016 by the Technical Image Press Association. Affinity Designer, a professional vector graphics editor, was the winner of an Apple Design Award in 2015. I wish this period was longer, as I’ve seen people comment, about other programs, on short trial periods not giving them enough time to take a decision.Įven with the clock ticking, the chance to try Affinity Photo and Designer may well, to use what someone else said to me recently, make both programs “gain more steam”. Serif, the company behind the programs, indicates that “the ‘try before you buy’ offer follows the launch of the two products on Windows late last year, and means potential customers will be able to spend ten days testing the software…”.

But now, with the free trial, anyone can experiment both programs before committing to purchase.

True, my needs and workflow may differ from yours, so my options are not necessarily the best for you. I bought the program on December 8, the first day the final commercial version became available for Windows, after a period of beta testing which I followed. Free trials of the professional creative apps Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer launched last year for Windows are now available from Serif.įirst things first: I moved my workflow to Affinity Photo as soon as it was available.
