I'm pretty close in deciding to make a move from Illustrator to Affinity.
I love the corner smoothing abilities, adding varying widths to a single
line etc.
But it's been a while since I had the 10 day trial and can't remember
how the pen tool performs ( how the tool operates would be a real
deal breaker!) Unfortunately I can't get a clear demonstration either from
any of the tutorials I've watched.
Basically I'm looking for the pen tool to respond according to the first
video I've uploaded Illustrator Pen tool (recorded from Illustrator).
So being able to control wether the next point you place in a basic vector
shape is a curve or straight line on the fly, and to what degree it curves.
I know some Vector programmes behave more closely to the second
video I uploaded Illustrator Pen tool_basic ie, curve angle determined as
soon as the next point is placed, and must be adjusted after.
Thanks in advance
