Switch Kit 16: Switching to Affinity — for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Users

A practical, neutral 15-page PDF for people who use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign software and want to try Affinity, the free design app from Serif and Canva that combines photo editing, vector illustration and page layout in one program.

Inside: the tools at a glance · a self-assessment (good fit or better to wait) · what feels familiar and what is different · how PSD, AI and InDesign files come across, with a five-file test · Canva account, AI and privacy · timing your exit from your Adobe subscription without surprise fees · protecting your work before you leave · safe installation · a two-week migration plan · a printable checklist.

Written by Julian Beaumont, a former photographer, video journalist and marketing professional with 20 years of hands-on experience with these tools. Edition 1, November 2026, based on Affinity 3.3 (facts checked 31 October 2026). PDF, A4, English.
