Fun software to look at:

(Corel are very spammy, but do offer good Black Friday deals.)

Thanks for the links.

Affinity, from longstanding producer Serif, is astonishingly good for the
price, and they also have a deep BF discount currently. The price here is for
the full version.

Daughter has, loves and used Serif products for *years* and their
PagePlus (that now includes the functions of WebPlus, a package that
allowed her to put up her own website with no prior experience in a
day) is still regularly highly productive for her.

There are two other Affinity products, a Photoshop
replacement and a Publisher/InDesign replacement - all are very good,
regardless of price.

I have her Wacom tablet here so might get that up to her soon with a
copy of 'Designer' for her to play with. ;-)
