And with AD/procreate/canva, I’m more or less set….. at least until 2.0 comes out 😉 All the best 👊🏻 iuli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomahawk Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 It IS frustrating. So many years asking for VERY BASIC stuff any other vector app has. - Distort tool - beeing able to copy objects to another document and have it pasting its color swatch with it among the most important. And yet, Affinity has done nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kokosz Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Five years and I'm not able to add a perspective to simple box? Really? They can do resizing, skewing, rotating, but no adding a perspective? Or free transform? I like Designer a lot, but sadly this is not a professional tool without free transform in my opinion. The same with dimensioning and tracing. And the most important thing: we have no roadmap for future changes Should we back to Corel or AI? Vozka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwcs Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hello Serif. In 2014 you mentioned a "Mesh warp/distort tool" in your roadmap. How's that coming along? It's September 2022 and we still need a non-destructive vector distort tool please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who tries to make a living being an iPad-only user, I do not have the free alternatives listed above (in a very unpleasant and aggressive manner). In fact there are no good true vector distort tool alternatives for iPad at all. Please don’t forget about us. All the best! I recently payed for AI for the ipad, yup, you guessed it, no vector distort. It was also vastly inferior to AD, less intuitive interface, less features. Also made me less inclined to grumble about Designer… still empathize with ya tho…. It is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwcs Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Correction: the statement was made in 2017, so only five years ago. here it is verbatim: "It's on Designer's roadmap which covers the whole 1.x cycle so it will be added in a future version before v2.0." The linked roadmap page no longer exists... but we are now on version 1.10.5. Any update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFC_4Heatons Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 There was a conspiracy theory doing the rounds, that Adobe will buy Affinity, and that is why there is no news available on v2. Adobe likes to buy competitors out and then bury the software to eliminate competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a stretch I use a raster to vector export function on adobe capture…. which if memory serves is free. it’s a workaround, but that may help.

Well not entirely.. it actually creates some kind of adjustment layer to put your stuff in so if you know how it works then it's slightly logical... but that's a big 'if'...

Mark Freeman Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Mmm, well the adjustments studio in AD1 operated in a similar manner… a layer was created that allowed alterations to be non destructive, yet it was way more prominent in the UI. Not entirely sure if you’re being passive aggressive with your “big if”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriffderek Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 "allows you to apply a non-destructive warp over any vector artwork or text. Choose between a fully customizable mesh, or use presets including arcs, perspective, fisheye and twists. Editing a warp gives a super-fast live preview, even on complex illustrations, and gives a true vector end result" Is it finally here!!?? https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/press/newsroom/affinity-v2-sets-new-standards-in-creative-software/#affinity-designer-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
