In, if someone would have the answers to provide me concerning the tools that I am looking for, that would be really nice.

I will eventually get used to this new software (for me), but I can't find these tools.Īnd they are necessarily there since AffinityDesigner is an evolution of Drawplus, and removing powerful and useful tools is not a progression, but a regression, so it cannot be so. like AffinitnyDesigner), but as I decided to persist, I am looking for the tools which are in Drawplus but which I cannot find in AffinityDesigner, that is why I call for you to know for example:ġ - Where is the transparency management tab in AD? I did find a transparency slider, but nothing to do with drawplus' powerful tools for transparency effects?Ģ - Fans of 'fx effects' where are the 'mirror' (reflection) mode management functionalities?ģ - Where are the powerful tools for managing shadows (because in AfinityDesigner, there is something, but there are not the locking points to make shadows locked at the bottom and thus, easily make the shadows of an object?Ĥ - Where are the perspective tools, scratch tools, gradient/depuplicate tools. it looks so similar in terms of ergonomics very impractical that you can easily confuse them, but it's so different in terms of power that you quickly realize that you're not using Adobe (by the way, I hate Adobe software which are not at all ergonomic. With AD I took almost 2 hours to do what I did in just 10 minutes with Drawplus.īut as Drawplus is no longer maintained (unfortunately), I decided to persist and try to get used to working with this Adobe software. I did the same job twice, once in Drawplus, once in AffinityDesigner.

Recently I read an article in a post that mentioned AffinityDesigner as a tool that could easily compete with Illustrator, so I thought 'why not try again'.

I immediately saw only the faults of AffinityDesigner, so I decided to stay on Drawplus, because of a much easier use to access all the (powerful) features offered by Drawplus. I bought AffinityDesigner the first day it was released and quickly noticed that it was closer to Adobe software than the DrawPlus I worked with every day.
