User experience: Current AD (Windows) vs DPx8?


Recommended Posts

to all DrawPlus_x8 users, who use Affinity Designer for Windows now instead or in addition:


What are you're experiences? for which tasks do you use affinity now instead of drawplus and the other way round?


I learned that it is so hard to compare but that Affinity Designer is more for professional designers and lacks some of the (main?) functions that DrawPlus has.


(I just took a glimpse at the affinity designer beta, but my pc crashed before I could test it further more. i could notice: the look is different and there is this corner/edge-tool and i could not open any drawplus files..)


I am really curious what you guys have to tell:)


kind regards


Anne

Welcome to the Affinity Forums, Anne. :)

 

The Corner Tool is wonderful, and the Shape Tools are more sophisticated than the QuickShapes in DrawPlus. I really miss the Knife Tool, the Blend Tool and the Perspective Tool, but all of these are on the feature roadmap (which means that they should be added in a free 1.x update).

 

If you want to work on your DrawPlus projects in Affinity Designer, you need to export them to PDF or SVG.

Thanks Alfred,

 

maybe there are some more people who like to share their fresh experiences.
