![]() You might start with a circle, add anchors at the top and bottom and pull them inwards to get the classic shape. So let's say you're building an apple shape from scratch. No reason to be embarrassed dude! Not everyone does the same stuff with any programs. Regarding compatibility, I think you can export them to PDF and import them in Designer, the question is what tools have you used to create those files and if they're going to be supported in Designer. Also, I think Affinity tools feel more intuitive for me. Regarding the learning curve, there's obviously some differences, but being already familiar with Illustrator and Photoshop is going to make super easy. So the real question is if all those things that make Photoshop and Illustrator superior are worth paying the suscription. If you only do light retouching, Affinity Photo will sufice, but not trying to imply it's a limited program. I think the same goes for Photoshop vs Affinity Photo. Obviously Illustrator is still a more sophisticated tool, but for me there's no compromise as I don't do full on illustration hence I don't need all the bells and whistles Illustrator has. I mainly use Designer and it has everything I need plus some little nice details that Illustrator lacks. I'm a full time designer and I can't be any happier about switching, which happened a couple of years ago. But I hope I gave you some insights on how to proceed with changing tools.īased on the description you give, I have the impression you do light stuff. Sorry if I can’t really answer your specific V2 query. Take advantage of the trial, watch selected Affinity videos that will relate on how you work. They have various smart selection tools too but I haven’t compared them recently with Photoshop. ![]() Need to invest more time on Affinity Photo before you can totally move in. Your usual keyboard shortcuts won’t work. You’ll have a bit of difficulty with Affinity Photo since workflow is totally different based on my experience of using it for two decades. I’m using AD exclusively now because performance is better and buttery smooth. Your shape builders will be converted into compound paths (not sure in v2 since they have a similar feature). Your experience can vary depending on the complexity of your work like gradient mesh (AD doesn’t have those). I’ve used Affinity Designer extensively for almost 5 years for personal and paid projects and it can open AI files. I have more than two decades of professional work using Adobe and I still do at work since it is provided. I haven’t really tried version 2 yet but bought it at launch. I appreciate any help and advice you guys can give me □Įdit: u/SimilarToed pointed out the 30 day free trial to me, so I will be giving that a go, but I still appreciate your feedback as well :) (I will need to still use a lot of my old illustrator files, and I am scared of basically losing them all if I can’t open them in illustrator anymore)
