Serif was founded in 1987 by a small team of software engineers, with the objective of creating lower-cost alternatives to existing Desktop Publishing (DTP) software packages using the Microsoft Windows platform.[2][3]The first Serif product to be released was called PageStar: a simple, low-cost advertisement layout program for Windows 2.0. This was expanded in 1990 with their follow-up, PagePlus (originally for Windows 3.0),[3] which would go on to win 'Best Software' at the Computer Shopper Awards 2014.[4] In subsequent years, this was accompanied by other software products in the 'Plus' range, including DrawPlus (1994),[5] PhotoPlus (1999),[6] WebPlus (2000),[7] and MoviePlus (2003).[8]In 1996, Serif was acquired by American company Vizacom (formerly known as Allegro New Media); however, ownership was sold back to Serif senior management in 2001.[9][10]The successor to their DrawPlus product, Affinity Designer (a vector art & design package), was launched in 2014 for macOS.[11] It was Serif's first product for macOS, and had been written from scratch specifically for it.[12] This was followed in 2015 by the second Affinity product (and successor to PhotoPlus), Affinity Photo (a photo editing & design package).[13]In 2016, following the release of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo for Windows, Serif ceased development for their 'Plus' product range to focus exclusively on the Affinity product range.[14] Support for the legacy product range ended in July 2022.[15]Affinity Designer is considered an Adobe Illustrator alternative and is cross-platform with versions available for iPadOS, macOS and Windows. It supports both vector and raster design artwork, with powerful tools and a budget-friendly price.[16][17][18] Affinity Designer was selected as the winner of the "Best Software For Designers" Award in the 2022 Creative Bloq Awards.[19] It was also one of the winners of the 2015 Apple Design Award.[20]Affinity Photo has been described as an Adobe Photoshop alternative, and is compatible with common

Message gcshep gcshep Posted 8 Years Ago Distinguished Member Group: Forum Members Last Active: 7 Years Ago Posts: 355, Visits: 3.0K I have done a tutorial for those people who might have had a version of DrawPlus and have now upgraded to Affinity Designer this shows how to export your clipart with all the layers in to AD with all the same layers and then taken into CTA3 and did a short animation with it. I think you will agree the amount of vector clipart in DrawPlus should keep you supplied for sometime to come and the biggest plus it’s FREE.Best RegardsGeorgeTutorial rfbindl rfbindl Posted 8 Years Ago Distinguished Member Group: Forum Members Last Active: Last Year Posts: 57, Visits: 1.3K I just realized Serif DrawPlus 8 is a legacy product being replaced by Affinity. DrawPlus is now $24.99, and Affinity just $49.99. I was about to buy DrawPlus for creating characters in CTA3 and wondering if I'd be just as happy with that. The price is certainly right.My alternative is to use Animate CC but the license for me is only till Nov,So, I wondered which would be the best route? DrawPlus, Affinity, or go with Animate. My guess is DrawPlus would be easier to use and no contending with expiring license? I haven't checked your tutorial converting over yet since I don't have DrawPlus, but I know it's there.

The price is certainly right.As it stands, DrawPlus 8 is not only the better option it also has more features relevant to exporting your art to CTA3. Affinity Designer has no animation tools and cannot export vector art as .swf files (i.e. flash file format). .swf is the format you need if you want to create G2 flash based characters or simply prefer using resolution independent vector based art over .PNG raster based art.I have and use Affinity Photo but won't be upgrading to Affinity Designer because of the lack of animation tools and .swf file export. It may introduce support for at least .swf export in the future since, I'm sure, DrawPlus users upgrading to Designer will be missing flash file support but for right now, DrawPlus X8 is the better option.However, for anyone who has DrawPlus and needs to bring their clipart into Affinity Designer for whatever reason, gcshep's tutorial is worth a

Software developer Serif has launched V2 of its Affinity creative suite, bringing new features and enhancements to its trio of graphic design and content creation applications that undercut Adobe on price.Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2, and Affinity Publisher 2 have all been visually redesigned and introduce some new features for designers and creative professionals. Just some of the new additions to the Affinity Photo 2 photo editing software include nondestructive RAW development (allowing designers to change develop settings, even after adjusting a file), compound masking, live mesh warping, and the ability to save different visibility states of your layer stack.Affinity Designer 2, a vector graphic design and illustration software package, is introducing vector warping, DWG / DXF file imports, and an X-Ray View mode that shows the makeup of your work. An assortment of new tools is also available, such as a knife tool for cutting shapes, curves, or text, an interactive shape builder, and tools that can measure line lengths, segments, distances, and areas of any objects to scale.Finally, Affinity Publisher 2, Serif’s publishing and page layout design application, has a performance boost to help handle large documents and now includes features such as Books, which grant users the ability to combine separate publisher documents as chapters to create one long publication (only available on desktop). Affinity V2’s release also patches a gap in the company’s iPad lineup with the addition of Affinity Publisher 2 iPad, which now brings the entire Affinity suite to Mac, PC, and iPad. A full list of new features for Affinity V2 can be found on the Affinity website.Affinity is often regarded as a more affordable alternative to Adobe’s own line of creative applications — while the Affinity Designer V1 vector program is less powerful than Adobe Illustrator, for example, the software is available as a one-off payment of $59.99 (compared to Adobe’s $19.99 monthly subscription) while still providing similar features. Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher are similarly comparable to Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign, respectively.Despite rumors, Affinity V2 remains a one-time purchase and has not switched to a subscription modelRumors regarding Affinity moving from a one-time purchase model over to a subscription service can, thankfully, be put to rest. “The ability to buy for a one-off payment is something that makes Affinity the only viable option for many of the brilliant and inspiring creative people around the world, who would otherwise not have access to the highest-quality tools,” said Ashley Hewson, managing director of Serif, in a press release.Desktop versions of Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2, and Affinity Publisher 2 are priced at $69.99 (from $59.99 on V1) for those wanting individual apps, with iPad versions of the software available for
