After ditching my Adobe Design Suite membership last year, it is time to throw away my recent design tool (Sketch from Bohemian Coding) and choose Affinity Designer & Photo as the one and only primary professional web design tools.

Hi everyone
 
We're over the moon to announce that Affinity Designer has been recognised by Apple with a prestigious Apple Design Award at WWDC 2015 in San Francisco. Congratulations to the whole SerifLabs team for such a remarkable achievement, 5 years in the making.
 
It's the stuff of dreams, thanks to all our fans and forum participants for helping to make it an awesome reality.

Dale, on behalf of everyone at Serif.

Good to know.  One reason I ditched Adobe PS/PSE was due to updating my Mac iOS, PSE12 became unusable.  Adobe basically said tough, and I would have to buy PSE14.  Only had PSE12 <4 months :blink: !!!
 
I've only recently started using HDR techniques with my Canon 7D, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the new Affinity HDR persona can do!
 
Keep up the good work.

As of now, the update is not visible in the German App Store!

Thanks for the welcome and the information. I have now downloaded the app and it looks fantastic, also congratulations and a big thank you to the team for all the hard work.

Ash takes a quick look at two of the new features which will be coming to Affinity Designer in version 1.5: Constraints and Symbols.
MattP also posted a small demo/preview of Symbols some time ago here.
 
If you pay attention to the first video you may also discover a highly requested feature/improvement.... :)

UPDATE: Affinity Designer 1.5.3 is now available on the Mac App Store and fixes the problems described in this thread.
 
*** PLEASE NOTE *** We have just noticed a problem with the latest Mac AppStore Designer update (ver 1.5.2) and are working to resolve it have resolved it.
 
Running this update will reset any brushes, styles, text styles, swatches, keyboard shortcut customization and workspace layout you may have added.
 
We are extremely sorry about this and will have a fix available within the next 24 hours.
 
If you have installed the new update and have customised any settings then please don't run Designer until we have deployed a replacement update (Designer ver 1.5.3). 
 
Alternatively we have a workaround available to save the presets for those users that have updated but haven't opened the app yet.
 
Again, we are very sorry and will make sure this never happens again.
