Canva's idea seems to be to go after the market of people who used a cracked copy of Photoshop anyway, give the entire thing away for free as loss leader, and use it to upsell normal people on Canva subscriptions. They're going right after Adobe where it hurts. It's a interesting strategy.

Been messing with the relaunched V3 Affinity since they got bought by Canva and it's interesting. They basically smashed all 3 tools together so you have a vector, a pixel and a layout editor in different tabs of the same app. It's also entirely free now.

HONEST TO THE POINT OF RECKLESSNESS

I'm not going to wade in because I value my time but people are going on about AIs water consumption not being a big deal "because it's recirculated" but it's not actually a closed system in any of the plants I'm actually familiar with. It COULD be done that way but that would cost money.
