It's been 40 years since I first saw Serif Publisher. At the same time, I saw Timeworks Publisher, Ventura Publisher, and Adobe PageMaker. I ended up using Calamus on the Atari ST but I became familiar with practically any available graphics software and even designed some of my own.
Today, Affinity announced that they are combining everything into one application, including Canva AI. You can mix things a bit through Personas, but I don't know if it's going to be so capable. What I know of all-in-one graphics software is that it has never worked well enough.
I'm skeptical but I don't have any huge projects. After the announcement that they were to be acquired last year, it was obvious that changes were on the way. If you want the Premium version, there is a subscription, as I understand that there has been with Canva.
For typical users, it's free. When upgrades are available, what will happen?
