[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 839074, member: 47024"] [USER=47518]@blackstar[/USER] Good morning 🌞 The 12 hour review (ment to be funny) is I would certainly give the program a try. So far the export module is the most different working (seems to do everything the same) in function. My V2 macros did not work with the export module (you can easily make new ones). IMO canva is banking folks will want AI add ons, this is where you would spend money. I do use AI(sometimes I use Topaz so I'm not an AI hater) so I will check later on how canva stacks up to Topaz and if they are cheaper. The cool thing at the moment is V3 is not a gutted program. It's the amazing Affinity I've been using for 5 years but improved substantialy. So far plugins work the same and function is very similar so much so I think the videos made for V2 would guide you if you were new to Affinity. When you install the program you can choose the .exe file and not the newer .msix install - the difference is the .exe is easily linked to other photo software. I do the .exe version. The real difference in function is when there is an update .msix is updateable inside the program. With the .exe you download the new file and "run" it and it updates the old version. Not a big deal to me and allows saving of installers allowing roll back if ever needed. One disclaimer - I tend to take to new stuff with more understanding than most (placement of menus and how things function) so others may see the changes as "bad" I like to move forward and change is the only way forward. For reference I have the latest GIMP/Rawtherapee software and try to keep up with that to "learn" that work has always helped me understand Affinity better. I can do screen shots if anyone needs of old and new. The cool thing to me is it does not mess up anything you have so give it a drive and see what you think. I hope this is what you were looking for, I will try to include more as I learn more. [/QUOTE]
