About
As you might know, the Adobe Licences are quite expensive and are now based on a cloud-based licencing scheme.
As a consequence the MPGDL now offers with Affinity a stand-alone-based alternative to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
Adobe Photoshop : AffinityPhoto
Adobe Illustrator : AffinityDesigner
Adobe Design : AffinityPublisher
We will give a short introduction into the three programs and show some basic day to day routines.
Affinity Software Suite - Installation
Please, if you need the Affinity Software Suite on your institute's Desktop PC or Laptop, give me a note so that we can arrange before the workshop starts.
