Guest Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Friends of Affinity-Serif add the Smart Fill Tool or something similar in Affinity Designer is of great importance to every designer. I am willing to pay more for Affinity Designer.

walt.farrell Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Note: This seems like a feature request, not a question. As such, it needs to be in one of the Feature Requests & Suggestions forums, not here in the Questions forum. Otherwise it won't be seen by the right team at Serif. Perhaps a moderator will move it for you.

Guest Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 But what is the problem with not adding a tool like the SMART FILLER TOOL or something similar. Affinity has to put the pile, because then it will not be able to compete with CorelDraw, Adobe and we users are not going to be able to immigrate 100% to Affinity applications for a whim of Serif.

(I got mine for 89 EUR, about a year ago.) And the price has to be compared against APh plus AD at least as the CD suite also includes CorelPaint (among some more tools like a font manager etc.). Considering the non-discount price of Affinity apps Photo + Designer, the request isn't really that far off limits, I suppose. Quote »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

Very likely limited development staff resources at Serif. They're hiring, by the way. 8 minutes ago, Andy05 said: the request isn't really that far off limits Fair enough. However, keep in mind that it will only work reliably if they finally fix the utterly broken boolean operations. And my gut feeling is that they are deliberately holding off adding too many of such nifty features because they know that at the moment it won't work as good as all of us expect.

I also still see some of the major features intentionally not happening before V2 as some kind of buying inducement for upgrading. I might be wrong, but from a business' point of view, it would make sense. Quote »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

Medical Officer Bones Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Inkscape is free and open source, yet features a cool smart fill function that offers more functionality than CorelDraw. Comparison of features based on software cost alone isn't valid (anymore). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
