The 'Davinci Resolve' of photo editing...

what up folks it's Alex here and if you're in the grasps of adobe's subscription model for things like illustrator or photoshop which is what I have been using to do all of my thumbnails then I have some really good news Affinity who make three pieces of software we have Affinity photo which is for editing and retouching images it works with raw files all that sort of stuff that's kind of the equivalent to photoshop affinity Designer 2 which is for digital drawing and painting creating unique Graphics logos and branding that's a vector piece of software that's kind of like adobe's illustrator and Affinity publisher to which is for constructing books newsletters magazines posters Flyers presentations and certificates are available for free mostly it's free for 6 months so what Affinity have done is they've created that affinity 6mon free trial you get a six-month free trial of our award-winning photo editing page layout Graphics design and illustration software even if you've tried it before you don't need to go make a new email if you've already signed up for one of their trials because they've wiped the Slate clean and anyone can sign up for this 6mon free trial they're not trying to catch you out by doing anything too sneaky if we have a look at the FAQ what's included in the free trial the free trial gives you access to Affinity designer photo and publisher on all available platforms so that's Mac windows and iPad you can download every app on every one of your Mac windows and iPad devices or simply choose to download one product on one device it's completely up to you what's the catch are there any strings attached we promise there is no catch the beauty of this trial is that you can try it for free without even having to give us your card details there's no obligation to buy or to continue using Affinity once this trial period is over you just need to sign up for like an affinity ID which is completely free to do and then you can sign up for this free trial and use all three pieces of software for 6 months completely free is the trial the full application or a feature limited version the trials are the full version of infinity software with no limitations to the tools and features the only limitation in place is the amount of days you're entitled to use the software for AKA 6 months if I export images during the trial will they have watermarks no the free trial isn't Limited in any way and exported images will not contain any watermarks so you can sign up today not have to give them any of your bank details not have to create a new email address if you've signed up to one of their free trials in the past and you get complete access to the full versions of all three pieces of software to install on all of the devices that you like good new news right I feel like there's a bit of a black magic influence going on here because they've seen that adobe are kind of really struggling and no one likes Adobe at the moment and theyve seen that black magic have done really well at kind of taking a lot of the Premier Pro users by giving out a free version and then selling a pro studio version for a reasonable cost without a subscription and they're kind of trying to do the same thing here's a six-month free trial of the full software for you to have a play with hm now what happens at the end of that six months well you will of course lose access unless you buy the Affinity V2 Universal license which is just £80 it's 80 quid and that is a universal lifetime license all apps all platforms no subscription so if you do genuinely like it after 6 months you can spend 80 quid and then you can get the entire thing for luck I actually did buy I I actually have the universal license I bought it a while ago but I haven't taken the time to relearn Affinity I've still been using Photoshop for all of my thumbnails and that sort of thing but I have now officially cancelled my Adobe subscription although technically I've got a wait until it comes round again because of the horrible way that they do their subscriptions but I have I've turned off the auto renew with my Adobe subscription and I will be doing everything using Affinity from now on maybe there's a Mr Alex Affinity Channel yeah maybe I should learn affinity and make some tutorials on that who knows anyway it was a good news story so I wanted to let you all know thanks for watching take it easy I'll see you next time
