Does Affinity Designer manipulate photos?

[snolanuk]

Hi,

 

I have not bought the software but I need a vector app that will also import, mask and also do some colour correction and photo editing. Does Affinity Designer do this?

 

If not is Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher available to purchase because they are not showing up in the Appstore?

Hi  snolanuk,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

As you already said Affinity Designer is a vector application. It does have some tools for global adjustments (Shadow/Highlight, Levels, Exposure etc) but doesn't provide tools for local editing (clone tools, patch tool etc). Those are features for Affinity Photo.

Both Affinity Photo and Publisher are not available to buy. They weren't released yet. Affinity Photo will be available as a beta before the end of the year, and Publisher is expected for next year.

Thanks for the reply! To be honest it might be all I need. One more question :) does affinity render fonts the same as the OS..no additional rendering. Photoshops font rendering is driving me up the wall.

 

Thanks

No, we currently render text ourselves.
