Confinement is disrupting the daily lives of many people. It can be an opportunity to test new creative software. Adobe's competitor is offering its suite of professional software for two months. The publisher Serif wants to support creative people during the coronavirus pandemic and the containment period.
Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher, for photographers, graphic designers and model makers are free for 90 days (compared to a trial version usually for 10 days). The trial is available for download until at least April 20 and all three software packages are very simple and quick to install: just enter your first and last name and an email address and proceed with the installation.
In addition, the publisher is dividing the price by two of its three software packages and commits to using its annual order budget over the next three months to hire more than 100 independent creators. Serif will detail this measure shortly.
"We hope this will make life a little easier for people who depend on creative software for their livelihood and have to stay at home without access to their usual tools, as well as for students who may not have access to their Affinity applications on their personal devices", explains Ashley Hewson, General Manager of Serif.
