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.

Art Text from BeLight might handle all your text needs and more. It used to go on sale relatively often, but I haven't been paying attention lately:

That looks cool! Unfortunately I don't have a mac. Do you know if you can save/export vector files from Art Text?

What I need is a Lightroom replacement. As far as I can tell, nobody has done something similar efficiently.

I had recently switched to Capture One from Lightroom. Still getting used to it, but it's definitely comparable.

First post!

I saw that all Serif Software was 50% off, so:
Affinity Photo [serif.com] ($25),
Affinity Designer [serif.com] ($25),
Affinity Publisher [serif.com] ($25)

They've also got a 90 day free trial [serif.com] which I'm going to check out

I'm personally looking more into graphics nowadays, so I thought I'd pass this find along!

Great work. Which tools did you use?

I use SumatraPDF for my daily driver just opening PDFs for reading as it's extremely lightweight and FAST, but FoxIt when I actually need to add or edit things. Haven't touched Acrobat in years.
I use paid program PDFFILLER for office use extremely useful.

I don't use Lightroom but I had a graphic design friend tell me that Luminar 4 is a good alternative. Affinity is a photoshop alternative

None of these programs can replace Lightroom.

In past discussions on SD, people have mentioned they like Luminar as an alternative to Lightroom. I've used Luminar 3 a little bit and grabbed it when it was free but I haven't used it enough to see how well it stacks up against Lightroom.

I didn't they had it for free. When was this?

Looks like Luminar 3 is still available for free. Version 4 is the latest one though but if you want to try out v3:

Sorry, I don't know, I used it for a few projects a while back and it was relatively simple and easy to use compared to others I'd tried in the past.

How low has it been before, price-wise? looks scool.
I don't know, I got my original copy (v1) back around 2010 in a bundle, and over the years migrated to Art Text 3 via some deal or other, most likely an update bundle they offered.

I think I paid somewhere between $10-20 for my latest copy, which is most likely Art Text 3 (It's on another machine stored in a closet at the moment, so I can't verify the version)

Edit: as a bonus, in the mac app store - they offer a free "Letters" app that does a bunch of basic text design.

I'm getting an error redeeming the code. Adobe's website says this code has already been redeemed, it was less than 5 minutes after receving the code did I try and use it.

Chatted with staples cs and they say that are looking into it. Anyone else run into this issue?
