Serif heeft versie 2.6.2 van de Affinity Suite uitgebracht. De Affinity Suite bestaat uit de programma's Photo, Designer en Publisher en kan worden beschouwd als de tegenhanger van bijvoorbeeld Photoshop, Illustrator en InDesign van Adobe. De software is beschikbaar voor Windows, macOS en iOS en wordt regelmatig met korting aangeboden. Verder betreft het een eenmalige aanschaf, want Serif doet niet aan abonnementen. Of dat zo blijft nu Serif door Canva is overgenomen is nog niet helemaal duidelijk. Uitgebreide informatie over de veranderingen die in versie 2.6 zijn aangebracht kunnen op deze pagina worden gevonden; in versie 2.6.2 zijn verder de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Maar hopelijk is dit de koers die ze blijven volgen. De software is in ieder geval erg goed, en voor het gros van de gebruikers een volwaardig alternatief voor Adobe software.

Niks tegen Adobe hun software, maar dit pakket gaat denk ik op langer termijn wel een groot aandeel krijgen.
