<![CDATA[Alfred's Serif Users' Forums — Free software]]> 2026-10-13T04:45:27Z PunBB https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=1225 <![CDATA[Re: Free software]]> I used Photocraft to produce an e-biook cover. It worked fine. The most frustrating thing about it was not knowing Photoshop. If you know Photoshop, it'll work just fine for that. I certainly won't be using it to replace v3, though.

I downloaded the print book software, but I haven't given it a try.

(I'm on a couple of Macs.)

I had a quick play with the Publisher/InDesign app, DesignCraft and it is, err, lacking. So, sadly, I can't be ditching Windows just yet!

They might look like Adobe's apps, but it doesn't sound like they're able to replace the long-established programs just yet.

Meanwhile, Affinity by Canva is free and already a viable alternative to Adobe apps.
