Looks like Serif Affinity is back to 50% off for each program. For those who don't know this is an alternative to some of Adobe's offerings.

I believe it's

Photo <=> Photoshop - images
Designer <=> Illustrator - vector art
Publisher <=> InDesign - document layout

They would be my hero if they came out with an Acrobat-like program. Imagine paying $50 for an Acrobat Pro-like app instead of the highway robbery prices Adobe charges!
·
Finally somebody took advantage of Adobe's greed.

The publishing software is really good... I haven't been this happy with a DTP since Microsoft Publisher in the 1990s. It's easy to use, yet powerful, which is a great combination. I... just wish I had paid $25 for my copy, grumble.

Is it possible to buy the Designer ipad version as a present for a long distant friend? Do I just buy it in my acct and forward the key to her?
Yes you can gift the app. With the iPad version, it needs to be downloaded from the AppStore, so in this case you would login to the AppStore yourself, pull up the App, click the Share button on the top right, then select "Gift App" and enter the recipient's info.

See attached screenshot for more info.

Quote from DataMeister :
You can not use a scanner directly in the Affinity software. You would have to scan to a compatible file and then open it in Affinity Photo. That might be in their long term roadmap, but not in v1 of the product.

I used Paint Shop Pro back in 2015 and I think Affinity Photo has a slightly more Photoshop feel to the interface. Personally I don't think Paint Shop Pro is twice-the-price better.
Thanks. You can pick up Paint Shop Pro with other software periodically at Humble Bundle for real cheap - $25 or less. So it is the same price.

I already had Affinity Photo which has worked great for me. With this great sale I had to go all-in with them and pick up Designer and Publisher too. Very powerful software without the monthly fee that Adobe charges. Pros can decide for themselves what works for their businesses and partners but I think most of the rest of us can get by pretty well with Affinity at a significantly lower total cost that only grows wider over time.

Did you pick-up any add-on apps that are also on sale? Are they worth it?

Early on it seemed like they were releasing updates all the dang time, but recently it is more like 2-3 times a year. I guess as the low hanging fruit gets developed the more complex features take longer to build and/or fix.
I guess my real question is how often do they release a major version (upgrade)? Is this the first version. If so, will there be a 2.0? No where does it say it's a software with free lifetime upgrades.

Currently these are versions 1x. There are some posts about it on the forum, but basically small updates are free and a major update like version 2.0 which will eventually be released, would have a cost associated with it.

For reference, you can see the other version releases here under previous versions:
