I think Corel is potentially setting itself up for its own demise. Some of my font families don't work correctly in CDR 2020, but do work in earlier versions. Version 2020 has fixed only a few of the bugs while introducing some new ones. The CDR 2019 release was a real disaster. There's a lot of email and web advertising put behind their low-cost consumer applications. I wonder if CorelDRAW is even the top priority for Corel and its new owners, KKR. Meanwhile it appears Corel's development team is stretched thin.

Just to add more insult to injury they tacked another $50 to the subscription and upgrade protection prices this year. So Corel answered that by doing away with traditional upgrades. Obviously many existing CorelDRAW customers chose to skip one or more product versions. So that yearly cost to stay current doubled from $99 to $199. The yearly CorelDRAW updates were lackluster compared to those that took 2 years to develop.

Their first mistake was trying to cosmetically match Adobe's yearly CC updates by moving to an annual full version cycle. Back then it cost around $99 per year to keep a CorelDRAW license up to date. I don't think the pricing and licensing change was done out of necessity.Ī few years ago CorelDRAW was on a 2 year product cycle between full versions. IMHO, Corel's shift to its new pricing model ($249 per year subscription or $499 one time purchase with optional $149 per year 'upgrade protection' subscription) was done out of delusions of grandeur and outright greed coming from the private equity folks who own Corel. That approach might work for a few years, but probably not over a 10-20 year span or longer. I guess the idea is just pricing it low enough that the applications gain popularity and then move a lot of units. I don't know how Serif can maintain the business model for its Affinity graphics products. It is really a true vector graphics application or a hybrid application featuring vector objects using pixel-based fill effects? I kind of wonder if it might be the latter since the maximum document sizes are affected by document resolution settings. It makes me wonder about the 'under the hood' workings of Affinity Designer.

The files need to be portable in high quality to other applications, be it rivals like Adobe or for specialty apps like large format RIPs. I think that's a serious limitation for professional use. Some formats will only contain raster based artwork while a couple will, at best, contain vector objects with raster-based fills clipped to them.

One thing I don't like about Affinity Designer: it doesn't seem to be capable of exporting vector-based files containing true vector-based fills. Just make sure any active fonts are installed on both devices (easier to do via OSX and iOS since they use many of the same system fonts). It's easiest using a cloud storage folder like Dropbox. afdesign files work pretty seamlessly between the iPad and desktop versions. Affinity Designer has a fairly impressive set of features and capabilities for a lower-cost application.

I bought Windows and iPad versions of Affinity Designer a couple or so months ago when they had their 50% off pandemic pricing special in effect.
