Photoshop

You could have use Microsoft Publisher but Microsoft have just withdrawn it which is a kick in the teeth for those who have been paying for the Office 365 suite.

I already have psd template set up, so I'd like to be able to use that.
This will depend on how complex it is, but strong compatibility with Adobe has been one attraction of Affinity.

It's certainly worth giving it a go, given it's free, and with the Canva takeover, has realised its ambitions to become an all in one graphic suite.

Although Serif released them as three different programs: Photo, Publisher, and Designer, they made it clear from the beginning that the aim was for a single integrated program, which has now happened with the Canva takeover.

Canva push you to subscribe to the full Canva suite of "Canva" graphics, tools (more tools, more AI and collaboration tools). But, all the original plus more, of the Affinity tools are available for free from Canva.

But, you still need to sign up for a Canva account to get them.
 
Was just about to edit my post. I downloaded Affinity, but it offered my purchase or free trial. When I chose free trial, it told me I have 0 days left! :thinking:


That said, it does work easily with psd files. (y)
Where did you download it from? There is no free trial anymore.

See my post above.


The download link is here

Thanks, Graham. I'm a little confused as my free trial now shows as "Over". I can find a £16.99 version
 
There is always the Photoshop Elements? The 2026 version is available for around £50-60 for a 3 year license.
