Dez! reacted to VIPStephan in Linux. Seriously now.
Yeah, you might get quick with a tool if you’re proficient with it. But how much quicker and better could you be if you used the right tool, the one that is made for the job? I remember faintly how complicated it was to create rounded corners on a rectangle in PS – let alone scale or modify the shape without distorting the rounded corners.
And if you were designing websites ten years ago it might not have been a big deal but nowadays with SVG support in browsers and mobile devices (and high density pixel displays in general) designing with raster graphics just doesn’t cut it anymore.
And I’m still getting PSD files from so called “web designers” that I have to convert to a working template, and I’m constantly frustrated at the poor implementation and the lack of possibility to make minor adjustments to some graphics for better quality output. Raster graphics tools are just not the right tools for web design.

In my controversial opinion, a real professional front-end developer/web designer wouldn’t use a photo editor (PS/AP/GIMP) in the first place to work on web graphics, but rather a vector graphics program such as Fireworks, Illustrator, Inkscape, or Affinity Designer for that matter. People that use Photoshop or similar applications to create website designs are abusing a tool that’s not made for the job and make their lives harder than they need to be.

Dez! reacted to Ben in PSD Export with Text Layers
There is text - we import text from PSD.
Export, on the other hand is a difficult problem. It is something we will tackle in the future. Currently, text is flattened when exporting to a PSD.

Dez! reacted to mid0ri in Affinity for Linux
I have been using designer and photo on my Mac. Love the interface and the software itself. However, with new recent news about the Mac book pros changing a lot of their "design"(lack of escape keys and many other things). I decided that they(apple) no longer wants my business and so I will be moving to linux. I would gladly pay $100 bucks down if there's a Kickstarter to move affinity designer and photos onto linux(ubuntu).
