John Hall Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I have been using affinity for less than a year and really impressed with Affinity photo. Now you have brought out Affinity designer this really is exciting. But I am wondering why you would buy designer it seems similar to photo. So I am not really sure what you would use it for. Unless I have missed something. Publisher I can understand and one that I may consider buying but I need to do some more research on this first.

AffinityJules Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I don't use Designer but, I think one of the main features is the ability to work with vector paths and vector brushes. Affinity Photo is aimed squarely at photo editing where as Designer is aimed at. . .erm. . .designing. Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

Bryce Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If you are coming from the Adobe world you might think of it like: Designer similar to Illustrator Photo similar to Photoshop Publisher similar to Indesign If you are not in the graphic design world, then that might not make sense.

R C-R Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 FWIW, Designer, not Photo, was the first app in the Affinity suite, first released for Macs in 2014. In yesterday's Live 2019 keynote video, it was revealed beginning around the 14:45 mark that from the beginning the overall concept for the apps was seamless access to the core features of all the Affinity apps through StudioLink, their name for the technology built into Affinity Publisher that allows owners of all 3 apps to do exactly that, without the need to launch anything other than Publisher. So basically, customers can buy only whichever app(s) they need, & if or when they decide they need the more specialized features of one of the others, they can buy them too.
