![]() ![]() So what is Affinity? Well Affinity has an opening statement on the About page on its website that claims they are “Redefining professional photo editing and creative design” which is a bold statement to say the least. ![]() But for my needs, Affinity offers alternatives for two of my most used programs, Photoshop and Illustrator, so that’s why I have chosen the Affinity software to compare rather than any other. There are plenty of design applications out there that can offer different choices to Creative Suite and some will suit others better than Affinity for their design needs. Affinity is a suite of professional photo editing and graphic design software. This is where Affinity ( ) comes into the picture. There are a few applications that are emerging and reinventing themselves to put up a challenge to Adobe, particularly the core programs of Photoshop and Illustrator. Other software programmes, like Microsoft Office, are also now offered on monthly subscriptions. It has had its critics, though to its credit does offer a more affordable way to get the Creative Suite. To counteract this, Adobe have a new monthly subscription format of purchasing the Creative Suite applications. The price of the Creative Suite has always been a problem for someone who is trying to get themselves into the business as they are quite expensive, even to just buy a single program. When you sum up what the Creative Suite actually offers and the amount of applications at your disposal it’s hard not to get your creative juices flowing, but in the same sense it is unlikely you’re going to use all of Adobe’s programs on a daily basis. Let’s not get over excited or too far ahead of ourselves just yet. But recently from reading blogs and trying to get myself a little more in the loop with trends and the technology some designers use I have found that there are plenty of programs and applications out there that are giving the Adobe Creative Suite some competition. In terms of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, for me especially, there aren’t any other programs that I know (or I haven’t found yet!) that really compare. It is and has been the Holy Grail for many years and for the most part has been a well-earned title. As designers, the Adobe Creative Suite has been dominating the graphics market for years.
