Affinity used some of the questions
Try for a while, Affinity photo & design, bought a license. Use Adobe suite for many years, see the software, that is the most close to Adobe, while slightly more puzzled than the Adobe suite, the price is still more affordable. But there are some areas that need to be improved. as follows:
A) the first, of course, the most important, the menu character shortcuts can not be used in conjunction with the ALT key, which is very annoying, you have to know, in the photoshop inside, the combination of ALT and character fast, I basically do not have other fast The key.
B) text layout, graphic surround function is not yet, it makes me unable to fully migrate to Affinity up, the text function second point, the symbol layout rules are not perfect, for example, comma or stop at the beginning, it is Embarrassing things.
C) photo and design functions overlap problem, simply say, design is photo castration version, plus a little bit of small features on the layout. The same price, but bought a copy, how reasonable planning two software functionality, this is a question worth thinking about.

I am using google translation, I come from China, will only be a little bit of English, we will look, you reply, do not use too complicated syntax and words, so I can understand, let google translation hang up. Thanks a loooooooooots

A) The ALT key is used in many shortcuts. You can change many of them in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.

B) Do not understand. Sorry.

C) Designer has powerful features Photo does not have, such as ASSETS, SYMBOLS, & ARTBOARDS. Photo has powerful FILTERS Designer does not have.

Hi zhruith,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

A. No, you can't use ALT on Windows to access the menu commands in Affinity apps.

B. More advanced text layout functions will be available in Affinity Publisher (not released yet) which is our desktop publishing solution.

C. Only a small set of features overlap. Affinity Photo is a RAW converter/developer and photo editing program comparable to Adobe Photoshop, while Affinity Designer is an hybrid vector/raster design and illustration software more comparable to Adobe Illustrator.

A. Affinity softwares is my first  can't access menu commands on windows, is very strange, since there is , why can't use it.

B. As figure, is not another apps's question. is basic functions if it's mean design. like illustrator, coreldraw.

C. As description above.  I have to pay double money just for a little functions. Although it is very cheap. but  not rational consumption logic, actually you know that.

not use google translation, excuse my english.

Hi zhruith,

A. I'm checking this with the dev team.

B. We are keeping our apps as much focused in their area as possible. Affinity Publisher is the application that's intended to be used for layout/publishing, so wrapping text around images, better text controls (hyphenation, drop caps, linked text boxes etc etc) will only be available here. Designer is mostly a graphic/web/ui design and illustration program. It's not intended to be used for these tasks.

C.There's way more differences that it may look at first. The more the programs are developed the more these differences will become obvious. In Designer you don't have access to Channels, RAW development, Live Filters, Scopes, specialised Personas (Tone Mapping, Panoramas etc), Stacking, Batch Jobs, Photoshop Plugins support, etc etc. In Affinity Photo you don't have access to Constraints, Symbols, Assets panel, View Modes, Text-on-path, Text Frames from any shape, specific drawing tools (Corner Tool, Transparency Tool etc), Artboards and associated menu commands (the PDF import you suggest is a hack - you can't create artboards directly in Photo) etc etc.
