But as we all know, most users felt unhappy with the choice, for various and rational reasons. Quite a brilliant move on their side, because their business kept growing. I say “I had to” because Adobe decided to stop selling their software and required users to pay a fee for the right of using it.
So I had to switch to Adobe CC subscription. Affinity Photo on Mac.įast forward and I included InDesign, Premiere and lllustrator in my profession. At some point I learned Camera Raw and began developing my photographic workflow. With time I did less and less work as illustrator and more work as photographer, so I got deeper into Photoshop tools. I started using Adobe software - Photoshop Elements, to be precise - around 2005, in combination with Corel Painter, because I loved how Photoshop brush engine dealt with opacity through a single stroke. All following Affinity screenshots in this post (except the cover image with one of my photos) are taken from Affinity website. At the time I was still mostly into 3D gfx and digital painting, doing very few photo post production. This meant learning Blender, Inkscape, Scribus, Gimp, etc. Science fiction if compared to poor NeoPaint on DOS.Īt some point (around year 2000, even if my first experience with it dated around 1996, with an exotic CD containing Slackware) I started using Linux - without abandoning Windows - and I discovered the world of open source software.
At the time this software seemed unbelievably powerful 🙂 This is Affinity Photo running on Mac. This is what I used for my first ever photo retouching.

I learned a lot using it - I learned to appreciate limits and how to overcome them.
In these years I could definitely not afford Apple computers - although dreaming of them - I could barely afford a very slow IBM compatible PC - and I have to say DOS was not terrible, at all. I started creating graphics and editing photos long ago, on DOS operating system - using software like Deluxe Paint II, Neopaint and others - moving then to Windows 3.1 quite soon.
