Affinity Publisher - Corner tool

[Bo Lovenhjelm]

Hi, I've been using the Affinity Software for 5 years now, mainly for creating everything print and web making Publisher and Photo my main tools of creation.
In fact, I use Designer for one thing and one thing only, being able to use the excellent "Corner tool" to for example triangles as Publisher has no way of letting me do this.

Yes, Publisher has a good way to have corner radius on both rectangles and stars but no way to have it on shapes like triangles, diamond, trapezoid and so on.
In fact, with Designer one can use the "Corner tool" on ALL the shapes which, in my mind, makes it a real power tool.

I know that having all three products in the suite allows for creating a triangle in, for instance, Publisher, then switch to Designer and use the radius tool and switch back but having the "Corner tool" within Publisher would make this kind of work effortless.

I'm all for differentiating products but I think that users should not be forced to buy for example Designer just to be able to have border radius on shapes other than stars and rectangles.

Don't get me wrong, I would buy all three products in this really high value and excellent suite even if I only needed one of them just to support Affinity, but for me - Publisher and Photo cover just about all my production needs and in my mind Designer are more a tool for artists.

So, to make Publisher perfect, include the "Corner tool" from Designer in the toolbox pretty please

Sorry, but, the Corner Tool implemented into Publisher will not happen, ever…

In the same time, with Designer installed there’s just a click away to get the Corner Tool - for me, not a big deal…

However, you can look at any specific feature/function in this way, so in the end the division into three separate products would be completely pointless.
