    Now all I need are the skills to make use of them!

  • This was $49 when it was released

    • USD $49.99 :) It is now $39.99 in US.

      • It was AU$49 when released, was intro pricing. It's a great app, replaced photoshop for me

        • I was checking on appshopper and it says USD 39.99 for new app but you could be right.

        • +1

          @Jimmy007: I posted the deal some time ago … and got it for AU$49.99! https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/202226

        • @mini_wombat: Thanks, I wouldn't believe appshopper again lol

        • @Jimmy007: It's maybe the recent price hike due to the exchange rate aud/usd … it might be the cheapest ever in USD.
          Still a good price at AU$62.99 :-)

        • Wow, that says a lot. Are you familiar with Pixelmator (a tool I occasionally use)? I was wondering how it compared.

        • +2

          @Member 0230: Ive heard of Pixelmator quite a bit but have not used it. The way I saw it was that Photoshop was hundreds of dollars or a subscription based service and only one licence. At work we bought Affinity for $50 and I can put it on multiple macs if I want with the same Apple ID. Its not a steep learning curve, there are some things missing from it compared to PSD but its basically the same. Also yesterday a major update for it came out which is great.

        • @clarky: Thanks for that. A quick look tells me a lot of people (lots of forum posts) think Affinity is a great, even superior product. Here's the opinion of Two Guys And A Podcast — http://www.t-gaap.com/2015/7/18/affinity-photo-better-than-p…

  • I'm just starting to do graphics stuff, kicking myself I missed the $40 Wacom tablet sold at Aldi.
