“Completely free” are two of the best words in the English language, and are as exciting when applied to creative software as they are to ice cream or puppies. Getting something for free, especially something as genuinely useful and pro-oriented as the Affinity software suite, often comes with the thought that there's a catch somewhere.
If there's a catch in Canva, which is a private Australian company not owned by Microsoft or Adobe or Google (at the time of writing, anyway) making its big-name acquisition free we haven’t spotted it yet, and the new version of Affinity - the version number ticking up to 3 is almost lost among the raft of other changes - appears to be a straightforward revision of the Affinity suite of old, just without the price tag.
