Re: Software discounts and recommendations
Serif have just released version 2 of their apps with a 40% discount. They’re offering standalone apps and a Universal Licence for all of their apps. The Universal Licence includes both Windows and Mac installers.
Currently their individual apps are on sale for £35.99 (€25.99, $41.04 approx) or £89.99 (€102.33, $102.62) for the Universal Licence. Please note I only ran the cost from £ to € and $ in a currency converter so actual amount might be different.
They aren’t offering a discount for people coming from version 1 but the time limited 40% sale is as close as we’ll get to one.
As usual for Serif all of the apps are a one off purchase with no subscription fees and free updates until version 3.

I thought they’d been quiet on updates recently for the 1.10.x branch. Usually I got an update notification every month or two. That must be why. A universal license is tempting at that price point. Thanks for the tip.

Ditto. Forgot to check the system requirements first d’oh.
Ah well. It’s a crazy price and I’ve already installed all three on my desktop. Laptop is in the process of upgrading.

The system requirements (10.15+) are otherwise more than reasonable —4 major releases, about 7~8years old hardware.

Re: Software discounts and recommendations
Serif are having a 25% off everything summer sale.
We’re heating things up with 25% off absolutely everything in the Affinity Store, including all our creative software for desktop and iPad, brush packs, illustration kits, overlays and more. So whether you’ve been waiting to upgrade to V2 or a Universal Licence, need an individual app, or want to crank up the creativity with a new add-on, now is the perfect time to treat yourself.

This was one of the drivers for me to switch to (refurb’d) Mac mini M2 this month, and the money I saved was allocated to some ‘upgrades’, including the Affinity suite.
I’m going back and forth on a series of articles of real world experience of moving from Mojave on a 2012 Mac mini to Ventura on an M2…lots of small changes are adding up to some head-scratching and frustrating workflow changes, but I can’t help thinking it will turn into a bit of a moan…so perhaps that’s my answer.

I’d be interested in reading that. A little less than a year back I moved from a 2013 iMac to a mid tier M1 Max Mac Studio. As I use a 2020 iMac at work I had less of a learning curve to go through.

I have Affinity v1 and v2. But currently still on Mojave on late 2012 iMac. using Serif v.1 only.
Debating on a new iMac (24inch…ugh) or going Mac mini and some 27inch screen, but this latter option seems costly.

I upgraded to Affinity v2 without realising the minimum system requirements. I do not recommend Catalina on older MBP hardware. It’s a hot mess.

+1. I found out the hard way, rolled back to Mojave on my 2012 Mac minis and it was bearable (also has the 32-bit layer for old software).
