panreyes Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 What are the differences between AF Photo and AF Designer?This must be a silly question, but I couldn't find an answer in this forum or in the website. As I couldn't try the Designer's trial, I couldn't see the differences by myself. (I do have AF Photo, as I tried the beta and really liked it!) Thanks!

FPilou Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 2 Different worlds : pixels against vectors! ;) you simulate or embellish the reality with retouching a photo in the first you simulate or embellish the reality with drawing curves and filling them with colors for the second Forgotten the more important! Photo can't be "zoom in" without "pixelisation"! Designer can be "zoom in" to the infinite without "deformation"! Quote Is beautiful that please without concept!

Bri-Toon Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Here is a good way to get familiar with the comparison. I made this list on my own time, because I thought Photo seemed a lot more compact, so I wanted to become familiar with what Designer has that Photo does not to make the comparison more equal. Many things can be accomplished in both, but the main thing to remember is that Designer is for vector drawings and layout, and Photo is for photo editing. What’s the same? Vector Features: Boolean operations Converting to curves Pixel editing on vectors Clipping and masking vectors Smart shape presets Pen tool and pen modes Gradients on objects Stroke profiling Photo Features: Layer adjustments Marquee, lasso, and brush selections Common adjustment tools Blend modes Other: Export persona and slice tool Bitmap pattern fills Power Duplicate Pixel tool Advanced paragraph formatting Over 1,000,000% zoom What’s different? Only in Designer: Corner tool Vector pencil tool Vector brush tool Transparency tool Expanding objects Vector brush presets Type on path Symbols Assets Constraints Only in Photo: Flood select tool Color replacement brush tool Paint mixer brush tool Advanced eraser tools Sponge brush tool Clone brush tool Undo brush tool Median brush tool Inpainting brush tool Mesh warp tool Perspective tool Liquifying tools Development tools Tone mapping tools Etcetera studios heyitsdiggy, Alfred, R C-R and 1 other 4 Quote The website is still a work in progress.

Madame Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If you watch some of the tutorials, I think the difference will be obvious.
