Oh yeah, admin...thanks!

I haven't given up mapping, just hand-drawing (though, in truth, I haven't made that many maps lately). I'm more interested in vector mapping than hand-drawing. My drawing skills just leave me frustrated, whereas the vector stuff is more enjoyable and satisfying.

Affinity's software ticks a lot of boxes for many people. Photo is not photoshop, but it's good enough for many people, and a steal at the price. I really enjoy using their software, though if they produced a Linux version (which, tbh, is unlikely) it would be my absolute favourite.
