Affinity 2 coming on 9 November

How do I install from an *.MSIX file and is this only going to install on Windows 10?

 

[grsnovi]

...should have checked before I purchased. :-(

Same here. Don´t forget to download "Dreamphography brushes for Affinity by Felix Hernandez". Free for v2 owners.

The Affinity Photo V2 web site lists OS support as:

• Windows® 11
• Windows® 10 May 2020 Update (2004, 20H1, build 19041) or later

Does anyone know if Affinity Photo V2 (for macOS) will be available in Apple's App Store? I believe that's where I purchased V1.

When I do a search, none of the Affinity products are there.

Thanks Ian!

I had a problem with my laptop earlier this year (lost the hard drive) and had to take it to be repaired. At the time they said they were unable to update me from 8.1 to 10.

I just spent the last hour doing a Windows update (still not sure if is far enough updated but at least it's running 10).

I have never heard of a MSIX file distribution bundle.

Still need to verify which Windows build I have then tackle the MSIX issue.

And, I was happy to pay $40 to go to v2.0

He shows how you can incorporate multiple edit raw images inside Publisher documents and still re-edit them. That's pretty cool!

Thanks for posting - lot of good stuff and as you say, that is pretty cool.

Maybe an obvious question but does it v2 AP install into its own (selectable?) folder and leave v1 alone?

TIA

I just tried a search and it’s showing for me; although there was a bit of a pause before the results came up. Earlier today, the iPad versions weren’t coming up in the iOS store for me but clicking on the links on Affinity’s website opened up the right page on the iOS store - possibly the AppStore is acting up a little?

I bought Affinity Photo this afternoon instead of the whole suite. Not because of price, because I think every item here from Affinity is almost ridiculous affordable. Cheap even. It’s just that I’ll never use anything other than Photo. I use it next to DXO PL as my main raw converter/editor.
Great software for a very good price!

Rationally, I should do exactly the same. I currently have Photo and Designer on Windows and iPad, but in practice, only use Photo on Windows to any extent, to complement DxO PL.

But I'll probably buy the whole caboodle, as the price difference is so small.

I’ve been using Publisher for print layouts, which I find a really interesting option

Yes, you can have both

It leaves v1 apps alone. After installing all three v2 apps, I still have my v1 apps. I'll keep them for a few weeks, but assuming everything in the v2 apps is working fine, I'll uninstall the v1 apps as I won't need them any more.

FYI, it did not prompt me for where to install the v2 apps, but it certainly did not put them in the same place as the v1 apps. Perhaps there was an ability to customize that in the installer (I'm not sure).

Thx for the reply.

Curious what country are you in? I'm in USA.

Affinity website is up and running. All three apps in 2.0 versions are available to download 30 day trial. I'm downloading right now

Uk here,

They might be adding it by country.

The individual apps are starting to show under Serif Labs. They still don't have the suite though.

Why can’t they have Affinity for iPhone, if it’s already for iPad

The UI needs a much larger screen. Even on an 11" iPad Pro, the controls are squashed. It's amazing that they've managed to include close to 100% of the functionality of full-featured desktop products through a small touch screen.
