#Gravit designer ruined upgrade
I will probably not buy another Mac, having gone to Linux, which doesn't exert the same pressure to upgrade every year or so.
#Gravit designer ruined mac os
I feel the same about Mac OS and have stopped upgrading my Macs. IMO, if anyone's stuck in the 90s with a little splash of the 2000s, it's adobe, who I regard as a sad case of greed disease.a company that once made great software tools and chose to milk customers rather than to innovate. My first impression, which has held, is that the developers have a new vision of what a Vector program can be like. I've used AD since it was released in November of 2014. I wonder if Affinity are still reading this thread? Moreover, I am happy to a pay a fair price for it, but I don't want taking for a ride, nor do I want to pay again for each of my devices. Whilst their start-up business model is not yet defined, more established software houses should look seriously at the value (and disruption) that small teams can deliver in this day and age.įor myself personally, the idea of portable, cross platform software is very attractive.

Gravit Designer is free and it is available for OSX, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, iPad, Android and also as a web app that will work in the browser! Gravit Designer is a cutting edge product and is probably what the next generation of software will look like. Of big interest to me is that there is now a new kid on the block. Customers get to keep the software they have invested in, whilst repeat subscribers benefit from new features and ongoing support. And like Affinity they also have a fairer understanding of the subscription model than Adobe. The price point of Sketch is similar to that of Affinity. It also has support for symbols and grids and whilst it's photo editing is poor, it is good enough for the basic tasks and it can also export to css, which is a bonus. It is better than Photoshop for website and app design. It is a matter of fact that many web designers have moved over to Sketch.
As for photo editing I just need basic tools such as cropping and exposure adjustment. I need export options for jpg, png and these days more usually for svg.
So once again I find myself looking at Linux and once again I find that the graphic choices are less than ideal.Īs a web designer I need good illustration tools for logos, comps and layouts. To my surprise, I was also told by Affinity they would not transfer my licenses to Windows and that I would have to buy them again. More recently, many Macbook owners have complained about the gimmick touchbar, underwhelming specs and of course 'donglegate'.įeeling let down by Apple, I decided to revisit Windows only to conclude once again that without powerful hardware, it was not suitable for running open source web apps or a demanding web server. After the SSD was removed, it was worth only £300 as scrap on ebay.

I fell out of love with Apple after my £2,700 MacBook Pro failed after only three years usage. Then Affinity came along with a viable and affordable alternative and I was more than happy to pay up for legit copies of both Designer and Photo. Like many others freelancers, I would head for the torrent sites for the latest version of Adobe Creative Suite rather than be taken advantage of with their expensive subscription fees. Nah.Īs a web developer and long time Windows user I found myself buying a Mac because because of how well it runs a (LAMP) web server and also for the many good options for graphics software. I thougt for few days that a revolution was going on, but.
Sorry to put a bit of my disapointment in this message. I am not taking in account the price it would cost to change software and train people either, but I am only talking about one company (and only a part of it) in the whole vfx industry. I am not taking in account the pain photoshop is making in our pipeline. Well what you need for developping linux is what my company is paying for not having such a tool. Let's calculate : 3000 (price of the machine estimated by me, but that is a rough idea) × 150 (per artist) = 450 000.

I work in a company where 150 artists have two computers : a linux machine because every vfx studio in this world work full linux, and a windows machine, because there is no equivalent of photoshop in linux. I couldn't be more surprised when I discoverd you have no intention to go linux. When I was told about a photoshop equivalent with ocio support I was pretty damn sure it was for vfx and post production, so I get curious. Just to have an idea were you are going or not, may I ask what is your target with affinity?
