![]() But, the thing that attracted me to the Serif software, Affinity Designer and it’s sister products Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher, is not only that. The best part of it is that Affinity Designer does what it does perfectly. It has all the options of the mainstream competition, but for the fraction of the price. The great UI and amazing performance are an upgrade from our previous vector design software.Īffinity designer is the software I was waiting for as long as I remember. ![]() We use Affinity Designer for a myriad of things – from designing logos and graphics for websites, to making merch design for our web comic. Thanks to the Affinity suite of products, I can’t justify using any other design tool for my needs, especially not for the cost. But when I discovered I could buy a stronger and more capable program for even less, Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, for that matter was a no-brainer purchase. I’ve always appreciated PaintShop Pro’s price point, which is why I’ve justified upgrading every few years. But for more extensive work like compositing or typography two things I need to do to create a salable book cover, it shows its weaknesses.Īnd regarding vector graphics, it’s about as basic as it gets. I’ve been using PaintShop Pro as an alternative to Adobe Photoshop for years, but I’ve always found the quality of the end result lacking in comparison. It was literally a case of “I don’t know if I can afford to buy this, but I do know that I can’t afford not buying it. When I saw what Affinity Designer and Photo and Publisher could accomplish as a complete design layout suite, and when I saw how little I had to spend to access such power, I couldn’t justify leaving it behind. It would be nicer if they had an auto-updating option available for those who trust the integrity of updates. Multiply that by three because all three share the same updates, and it can get expensive on your hard drive if you don’t have that delete key ready. To update them, you have to manually download and install the newest version. No, the only nitpick I have is the same about all of Affinity’s products. ![]() Not hopeless, but not easy on the first try. It would be like a non-writer trying to learn how to use the style sheets in Microsoft Word or Affinity Publisher, for that matter. A true graphic designer probably wouldn’t have that kind of problem. Keeping track of the art boards gave me a headache the first time I used them. So, there’s no real con to buying this program, especially at its price point. ![]()
