FREE Graphics Program
Many of you have asked how I produce these maps. All of the snazzy graphics you see on this site (including the Maps) are created with a Program called Affinity. I paid good money for it years ago because it did eveything that Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop could do at a fraction of the cost. The crazed lunatics are now giving it away for FREE. I have no doubt it is because they want to take on Adobe and grab some of the market share away from them. I long ago got fed up with Adobe and the fact I was forced into paying a monthly rental fee. Furious is probably a better term for my disgust of being used and abused by that corporate beast. But Affinity is saying in no uncertain terms they will keep the product free but you can pay a premium if you want the new AI assisted add ons. The basic program is quite fine for what I do. Download it and take it for a spin. Why not…the price will not get any better than free.
I have not received a dime to endorse this… been using it for years…
Yes it has a learning curve and no it is not that easy…don’t whine. It is worth it.
There are a ton of How To videos on YouTube.
Tune in, Turn on and then buy my book on how to create Colonial Maps. You knew I had a motive.
