![]() The same applies to Affinity Designer, but I'm not an Illustrator guru. I'm a Photoshop guru and have not found anything I can do in Photoshop that I can't do in Affinity Photo. Some things are more difficult that with comparable Adobe apps, but others are much easier. The only feature that I wish Affinity would improve is their "live" view of effects changes. The apps that I moved to a legacy Mac was CS6.) The only feature that I wish Affinity would add is "background texture" in "effects". (Note: I have never used Adobe CC, since it is leased. As of about four weeks ago, I relegated the Adobe CS6 apps to a legacy machine and in that time, I have found no reason to go back to them. I have used Affinity Designer (Illustrator replacement) since shortly after it was released and was also an early adopter of Affinity Photo (Photoshop replacement). Opmerkingen: I'm very pleased with my Affinity products. Other minor things like that that I ran into, but all in all it works well and gets the job done. The align UI and the order of actions to chose what to align to what is strange and can waste time. Like no native way to permanently reset the bounding box of an object after it has been rotated, they have a toggle that works for 1 operation and switches back to the (skewed or rotated) original. Some odd workflow choices, minor things that can slow you down. No Google fonts integration or anything like Adobe Fonts, so if you're missing fonts you have to manually find them online and (buy or) download them the old-fashioned way. Lack of a good font manager, it just takes the fonts you have installed in your OS. Affinity devs listen to user feedback and regularly update their apps, so any features that it lacks it will probably get soon. ![]() It's also has some great ideas that I was pleasantly surprised by that made the workflow better and faster. It can open and edit Illustrator files if they are pdf compatible, even deal with complex things like knockout groups correctly. I tried to move from Illustrator to Inkscape in the past, but that was just impossible, Inkscape can't open Illustrator files properly (even PDFs) and lacks so many features that it wasn't possible to use for what I needed it.Ĭoming from Illustrator, it's very easy to adapt to, just minor differences in some workflows, but mostly it's intuitive. Plus we already have a Photoshop and Lightroom subscription. Decided to transition from Illustrator because it didn't make sense for us to pay for the subscription model because we only need to use it several times a year for creating product labels, and starting and cancelling subscriptions constantly is just cumbersome. Still had to google some to to figure out how certain operations were done in Designer that were different to Illustrator, and grapple with a few odd choices the devs made, over all I've been pretty pleased with Designer. Affinity Designer is quite intuitive, can do most things Illustrator can, can open and edit Illustrator files, so the transition was very smooth, with hardly any learning curve. They are feature rich, have some innovative features that aren't seen in other software and have ongoing development with regular updates. Turns out I was very wrong! Affinity Designer and Publisher are both legitimate and very good pieces of software. Opmerkingen: I saw ads for the Affinity suite in the past, but always dismissed them as one of those half-baked knock-offs of photoshop that like to rope you in with "free"trials that don't let you save your files or something. I never had any issues or crashes so far. There is nothing to dislike with this software. I am now a fan and I highly recommend this app. I will never look back after using this software for almost 5 years. I have tried it on my iPad Pro and it's really fun to use, though I'd still prefer working on a computer. How cool is that? The app can be used on desktops and/or tablets. You just have to pay once and you get all future updates for life! Also, their mobile app comes free after your purchase. It works great and has all the features and tools I need for my work and business. When I learned about Affinity Designer, I grabbed it immediately without second thoughts. I was an avid user of Adobe Illustrator before they changed into a subscription model. This is definitely the best alternative for Adobe Illustrator. Opmerkingen: Overall, I am very happy with this app because I can finally work on vectors and graphic designs without worrying about monthly fees.
