Affinity Designer is one of the most important bets that have come to face to Adobe's own tools. Difficult task because at the moment it is only available on Mac leaving aside a good part of designers who use PCs to create their designs.
Affinity is defined as the most accurate and fastest graphic design software on the market, whether you are working on new materials, websites, icons, interface design or creating concept art. Affinity Designer arrives for revolutionize vector graphic design, although at the moment only on Mac.

Among its virtues is digital photography editing with professional corrections and adjustments.
The tools available are the precise ones that any professional in the sector needs and that you can find in programs of the same Adobe. Let's say that although Adobe continues to reign in this category of graphic design, it is interesting that a company appears that wants, little by little, to get closer to its own suite of well-known programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator.
From what can be known from some users who have tried it, the remarkable thing about this software is the work you do with vector shapes and layersWhile some of its handicaps (it is in beta phase), it is the existing lag with a tablet and it is not possible to save or open files in .ai or psd format.

A software that we hope brings more news and is become an alternative to Adobe's own and that even at some point it could be "sucked in" by Adobe itself to include it in its design software package.
