Serif was always about mediocore software sold via (too) heavy marketing that promised too much with capital letters and lots of colors. I was expecting envelope also with the ability to copy the shape, but not possible.Īlso, I was surprised that the Shape Builder requires an extra step to actually get the shape. The two main new features are Warp and Shape Builder. I downloaded the trial (initially on Mojave, but not running), and tried on Mac Mini M1. Maybe they will continue the previous model of free updates.

On the positive side: there is no subscription, and for now it is quite cheap, especially the combo. I think they invested a lot of effort here, as probably most of their UI was rewritten. No more Mojave, Sierras, El Capitan.Īnd this could be because they moved to a new Apple framework (Universal), and this is not available on older Macs.


I was also expecting to have at least the basics (blend, pattern, vector brushes, list goes on).Īlso there was a lot of expectations on a new app.īut the most surprising thing is that it runs only on Catalina and above. I was expecting some new "redefined" workflow. Yes, it is very interesting what they are doing.
