Serif has unveiled version 2 of its Affinity creative suite that’s comprised of reimagined versions of three products: Affinity Photo 2 (for photo editing and raster painting), Affinity Designer 2 (for vector graphic design and illustration), and Affinity Publisher 2 (page layout software boasting StudioLink, a way of using the editing tools from the two other Affinity products).
Affinity V2 integrates photo editing, graphic design, illustration and layout into a “super-sleek workflow – delivering a holistic experience unlike that of any other creative suite,” says Ashley Hewson, managing director of staff at Serif.
Alongside the launch of Affinity V2 comes the release of Affinity Publisher 2 iPad, completing the core suite of apps available on macOS, Windows and iPadOS. Affinity V2 Universal License has also been announced, giving customers an option to buy a package containing Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Publisher 2 for use on Mac, PC and iPad – all for a single amount.
The Universal License will normally be available for US$169.99 – a $310 saving on buying all the apps on all operating systems individually. However, Serif is currently offering a 40% launch discount making the whole V2 suite available for $99.99 with no subscription.
Users who don’t require the full package will still be able to buy Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2 or Affinity Publisher 2 individually for Mac, PC or iPad with the same 40% launch discount. All apps, including the V2 Universal License, are also available as a 30-day free trial. To buy, go to https://affinity.serif.com.
