No affiliation, except as a fan and occasional customer. The print-only workbooks, Affinity Photo Workbook and Affinity Designer Workbook are worthwhile investments, high-quality project-based books (note: not user manuals, the in-built help is probably better for that), available in English and German.Ĭredit: several links above go to Frankentoon tutorials for examples. The more common sales are in the Fall (aka 'Black Friday'), or when a major new product or release has happened (20). Note: the trial versions are a separate download version, they do not update to a full version, although saved projects should open in the full version. (feel free to replace en-gb with en-us for US English, or de for German) Trial versions are available, but I believe they only have about 10 days duration: While Illustrator has always felt like "built for designers" to me, Affinity Designer feels (somewhat ironically, given the names) more like "built for digital artists" (in spite of a plethora of design features). AD almost seems a little as if Adobe's Project Gemini came out 4 years early for Mac, then Windows, then iOS. Photoshop has become a sort of Swiss army knife of "use it for everything image-related" and, while Affinity Photo has features for digital painting, Affinity Photo seems to have more of a "built for photographers" feel to it (I'm not a photographer, which is why I use it less than Designer).Īffinity Designer is more of a "create from scratch" program, and feels like the child of a vector software with a paint program, with the ability to use raster brushes "onto" (clipped by) vector shapes. The short version: Affinity products: fewer features (especially "non-core" features), better interface (in my opinion). The simplicity of sans serif was therefore seen as being in spiritual affinity. I've played with my copy of Affinity Photo but not used it in depth, and I actually use Affinity Designer. cut which could be termed sans serif, purely because there were no serifs. I've never had to do significant amounts of image editing. Disclaimer: While I have used Adobe products (available to me at work), my experience with them is limited.
