There is a lifetime cost of £50 (depending on the deals), which is better than paying a monthly subscription of £20-£40 for the Adobe suite. Affinity can save files as a PSD which works in the Adobe suite which is what you will need if you want to license your designs. If you have learnt how to use the Adobe suite already Affinity is very similar and you will learn in no time!What is a Seamless Pattern?A seamless pattern is a pattern that repeats continuously, through this repeat you will not be able to see the start or the finish of the pattern (the seam).
