But more "standalone" functions like distortion effects or (gag me) auto-tracing are quite amenable to a little back-and-forth between separate programs.Įxample: Remember the days when a separate utility program called Type Styler was the de facto "standard" for any kind of text warping, before the Big Four had such features? One cannot, for example, work around Affinity's infernal overdone bounding-box fixation, because that is something you must deal with the whole time you are working in the program. No, that is not practical for every feature and function. ![]() That's how one avoids-or at least minimizes-falling victim to every machination of a single vendor. Why bother? Because enduring occasional workarounds gives you the advantage of developing proficiency in other and newer programs, thereby reducing your mission-critical dependency upon a specific software brand and the trauma of making a cold turkey "switch" when the time comes. All as a workaround, of course, until Affinity has its own (hopefully better, more elegant, more innovative) warp feature. One could do the same with Canvas, Draw, Inkscape…anything with a reasonable exchange format path for Bezier curves. For example, those who are really convinced Adobe Illustrator's is the envelope distortion to beat all envelope distortions, can export their paths to Illustrator, warp them, copy them back to Affinity. Just as one could do with most any other vector-based program to which one is habituated. I was able to create a shape, warp it and then just copy and paste into Designer as an editable vector. This bar conversation, however, is futile. So I had to take a look at the "professional graphic design software" AD. I just fancy looking for options, new tools, better drawing tools, better software. The price is nothing compared to literally everything else in our setup. ![]() Did for more than a decade. But I made it in Illustrator etc. My latest work reached approximately 5 million people. I understand companies perfectly when the charge as a service. Times are changing and conditions are changing. But you mentioned the most insignificant error like a child. ![]() Well English is not my first language so there. That is why I am here. You found and pointed out a spelling error. I am a professional, yes and a curious one.
