peejay Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I used to use xara extreme before getting a Mac, I find illustrator clunky after xara and one of the xara features I like is the slider for feathering which is ready in the tool bar to use without having to go into a menu. I have used Parallels and VM Ware fusion and not got on with them very well even on a high spec new mac, so if Affinity can even come close to Xara I shall be well pleased, hopefully it will surpass it. They tell me Xara will not be developed for Mac, so I have to find an alternative and Affinity looks like a good candidate. I use Xara for concept, refits and alteration drawings for my work as a shipwright, I have attached my most recent drawing done in Xara so you can see what I am looking for.

Staff MEB Posted November 4, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi peejay. Welcome to Affinity Forums. There was a feather FX effect in one of the previous betas, but it was removed because it wasn't working well enough for us. It should be back later, as soon as we finish improving it.
