the guys making affinity arent the target audience of affinity users

Me personally
I just learned to use Gimp for my simple workflows,
>layered compositions, some masking, color adjustments, etc
and it works just fine, so staying with Gimp.

(skilled) Anons? What is your program of choice to create high quality memes on 4chan?

>>107077918
Sketchbook (formerly of Autodesk but thankfully they escaped)

>>107077101
Zero if you're not interested in ai slop. Make an account and block it the firewall after first run and you're good.

>What is your program of choice to create high quality memes on 4chan?
Currently using V2 Affinity suite and DaVinci Resolve.
I will not be upgrading to the new Affinity. The logo is ugly and I refuse to sign their Acceptable Use Policy, or whatever it's called.

>>107077267
>Still no Linux support
Currently hovering at around 3% market share worldwide and isn't a unified platform like Mac where they have one OS to target. It's not going to happen for niche software like this.
An outlier like DaVinci is only on Linux because Blackmagic wanted to sell workstations for their editing panels without paying the Windows tax or dealing with Microsoft's bullshit in general.

Marvelous Designer (the software both the game and 3D animation industries use to design virtual clothing for characters) is even more niche than Affinity and that just got released for Linux, so why can't Affinity?

Do you think I can become a good 4chin meme creator with gimp or krita? :/

>>107077057 (OP)
I like gimp, but I do think the UI needs a complete rehaul cause its so clunky to work with. Just keep the old UI and add a new one and let people choose between the two.

>>107078449
>gimp or krita? :/
I haven't used GIMP in 20 years. But I'm told it's less shit than it used to be. Krita isn't a photo editor. It's for drawing/illustration like Clip Studio Paint. If you don't care about the Canva garbage then the new Affinity has more features than the old version, and is still free (for now).

It's free now because they make more money harvesting the data than selling it. Look up all the connections those apps have while running, it's dizzying.

yes, but you have to dedicate more time drawing, instead, you can get a job at mcdonalds and buy a gpu in the same amount of time.

It was dead the second canva bought them. I’ll just be using v2, thanks. Already backed up the installers.

Same. But who knows if new installs will work if they take their authentication servers down.
Might have to look for cracks just in case.

You are very stupid. To support Linux, all a company needs to do is release their source code. If a company would like to make their app compatible with the Linux kernel and GNU software ecosystem, all power to them, but that is not necessary. Truly, proprietary software is the worst industry practice.
Of course, Obrecht is too much of a jew to allow a Canva product to use a freedom-preserving license. "Free as in free beer" is too enticing for any normalfag.

>>107077057 (OP)
am I free to audit the code?

>>107077057 (OP)
morons will fall for this old jewish trick

okay having used this thing for a bit, it's actually really comfy.
being able to create a custom raster/vector uberspace means you basically never have to switch contexts.
shame about the new model, but tb h if you were to freeze this in time and bypass the activation, it's a good replacement for pirated photoshop 7.

pirated versions exist and i think there's even an activator on github if you just want to keep using affinity 1 or 2 forever

>>107080866
>I hate how modern marketing is just using niggers in everything.
It's funny how they try to counterbalance this with ugly asians with weird facial proportions because white women in western countries absolutely HATE cute asians in advertisements

>>107080866
I've worked in the design field for a while.
In Apple's case it's (in part) because most of their corporate design is in white so to achieve a strong contrast they pick people accordingly to make all their ads "pop" as much as possible.
That's also why you often see white girl black dude everywhere now. The strong contrasts draw more attention which is exactly what people behind ads want. Of course there are also """many other reasons""" to speculate about but these are some of the most important reasons in advertising.

>>107077057 (OP)
>>kills krita
usecase is different

>>107077057 (OP)
nice proprietary closed source garbage you have there

>>107078432

>>107081055
Just block it with your firewall and opt out of the data collection.

if it was solely about contrast then a pairing of white male and black female would be common too, but it's only ever the white bitch, you know very well why moshe

>>107077111
Ah yes. Bugs, blacks, and corpo-flat-art. Now I'm interested.

>>107078811

Affinity Photo and Designer. I guess it remains to be determined if I will keep using them in the new Canva version.

>>107077057 (OP)
genuine question why the fuck is gimp so bad and different from photoshop? It's an open source project with hundreds of contributors and then there is photopea made by 1 churka in his free time as a hobby and it's pretty much photoshop
what went wrong

>>107081028
>You are very stupid for stating the reality of the situation.
And you're delusional.
>>107084973

I would argue it's largely a function of ideology mandating that things be done differently so that a project doesn't get infected by evil closed source concepts.

Linux will only be supported if your application has server-side applications. Freetard desktop users are either poor or subhuman and undeserving of nice things.

Manual stuff is old fashioned. I even replaced sex by sticking a vibrating dildo into a flashlight. Much more effective.

>>107082986
Ok, suit yourself. I don't care either way.

I'm pretty sure there are onaholes that vibrate already.

>Freetard desktop users are either poor or subhuman and undeserving of nice things.
Seeing the current standard is "human = degenerate" I'd gladly be categorized as sub-human. Now put me in the Linux Ghetto so we can continue civilization while you drink your piss and jerk off with your shit.

>>107077918
I used Scribus (FOSS for page layout and typesetting) to make an anthology of writing from /lit/ (pic rel). I've never used any other piece of design/layout software, but Scribus is far more capable than something like Canva, despite some rough edges. Affinity being free gets me curious, but the login requirement kills that interest.

I also did all of the illustration editing/creation in GIMP, which are nearly all in the public domain or creative commons.

but that's inefficient.
If you want to waste your time coding, drawing or doing all those stuff manually when you can just use an AI to do it for you then it's fine then.

>>107087084

gimp killed itself when it did everything in its power to piss off artists to land in the good graces of a group of photographers who already left for photoshop
they literally went "get a load of these faggots" and turned around expecting to see a hooting and hollering crowd only to find out everyone and thing was gone save for a single piece of paper with the word "miltoshop" scribbled on it

>>107077339
If the people making a product aren't also users of that product, why would I trust them to know what a user would want out of that product?

I wouldn't expect someone who can't into woodworking to sell me a workshop.
I wouldn't expect someone who doesn't drive to make a car that handles well.
I wouldn't expect someone who doesn't read to write a book worth reading.

>>107081055

I meant that the dildo does the fucking of the fleshlight for me. The vibration is only for the necessary movement or else it would just be a dildo showed into a fleshlight.

Gimp still doesn't have proper CMYK or OCIO support. It's a toy project.

Pirated copy of photoshop cs6

if I use xcfe do I have to use Thunar or can I use Nautilus?

You can’t buy Affinity V2 anymore; they used to offer a "perpetual" licence, but it’s no longer available.
Canva just killed Serif.
