[Marco Dude]

Dear, well everyone.  

I have a question and could you awnser this as if I am a noob to designer? (cus I kinda am).

What is the difference between affinity designer and photo? This is not a joke question  I would just like to know if it would help me in my work.  
And sorry if I ask something stupid 🙃 to be hounest I don't even know what vector means  

Thanks Marco

Affinity Designer is vector oriented, Affinity Photo is photo editing oriented.

Vector is basically means 'direction (and distance)'. Instead of a series of pixels it is a point on the x and y co-ordinates and a direction and a distance. You then get to decide if the width of the vector or 'line' is three pixels wide or 17 pixels wide or twelve centimetres wide. And of course the colour of the line. All this can be changed at any time after creation. The advantage is that you have a simple file which can be easily changed. You also have crisp line edges at all times even if you make the line quite small and later make it longer. The down side is that each little line is on its own layer and so if you want to make changes you have to select each line. This can get out of hand once you have several thousand lines.

I use Photo for my camera images and Designer for when I want to use a lot of Text or geometric shapes. Each application can do some of what the other is stronger at.

As to whether either or both will help you with your work we would need to know what sort of work you want to do.

If you’re asking about Designer because you’re trying to decide whether to purchase a licence for it, why not download and install the ten-day trial version?

Please note that the trial clock runs continuously from the moment you first launch the app, and it cannot be reset.

Thank you allot I really do appriciate it  now I see the explanation I get it a little more and do see how this would help in surtain cases  I think this might be usefull.
well I use photo for allot of photo manipulations but I also use text allot and shapes so this will be a wise investment. ( I was asking cus of vakation pay I have some money to invest... (If I can't make my boss to pay for it)) 😂

And @Alfred thank you for the suggestion  I will give it a try
