A little way back, Canva bought Affinity. People worried. More recently, Affinity teased a big announcement. People really worried. But, as we talk a week following that announcement, Affinity is free forever and has added a million users.

And the Affinity apps are all updated and merged into a new Studio.

So this week we talk about the merger of companies, of products, of hardware and software. Mergers we like, mergers that failed, mergers we would like to see in the future of photography!

What do you think about all this?

Mentioned in the show: The Weird Death of User Interfaces
