Helen, my apology, this question is off topic. What are your opinions of Affinity's graphic art suite?

[@HelenBradley]

I don’t use Affinity myself right now but… they do have a current deal where you can get the software version two for free for six months, I think it is. They don’t charge you unless at the end of the period of time you want to buy it. You don’t give a credit card or anything. I think it’s a really good time to look at Affinity and see if it’s going to work for you. There are three versions - there’s a desktop publishing, a Vector program like illustrator and a photo editor like Photoshop. So you can download all of them (I just did today) and give them a test. That’s pretty much the best information I can give you right now. I hope it helps.

@@HelenBradley Thank you Helen for the information. I just purchased all three applications about a week ago, and they just let me know about the six months free trial software. Adobe got too expensive for my taste as a single non-student hobby artist. I love Adobe's software... but I was only using it as a hobby. Not using it to make money as a career. It's frustrating learning a new app. Affinity Designer 2 app has a lot of menu options that are like photoshop. But at the same time a lot of options differ.
