You may not know but Inkscape just released v1.0 version today ( including native Mac version). IMAGE TRACING + Expand Image and Texture Category Brushes For Affinity Designer Maybe a solution is to have raster brushes in a separate panel to vector ones, which is where the misunderstanding is, and slightly edit the wording on the product page to remove brush features ambiguity. Until Designer is a legitimate alternative to the industry standard for brush functions, avoid that ambiguity). I understand the need to highlight the strengths of the package (which we all love) but "full featured vector app" doesn't seem right without this aspect. (Even though the term "raster brush" is mentioned, the overall impression of the paragraph if about an added capability, not a underdeveloped feature. Using the descriptors above in relation to Designer's brushes is slightly misleading, IMO. One wouldn't guess any significant shortfall on a "full feature". it sounds very much like its the same as the competing, industry standard vector app, which includes brushes panels with true vector brushes, etc. My concern here, just like Mateprsk, is that apples = apples, i.e. And the issue is "selling as is" vs assumed industry terms and standards.įor example the Affinity Designer product page ( ) promotes a "full featured vector workspace", adding "grain to your crisp vectors", "true creative freedom", "comprehensive vector toolset", etc. And I appreciate the positive discussion here.īut I think thread highlights a subtle marketing liberties taken which are likely to mislead buyers and slow Affinity's progress potentially. This issue is not enough to make me jump ship. Hi MEB, for the most part that's correct, but I think the issue has a layer here worth noting.įirst of all, I love Affinity, the innovation and value is first-rate, I'm active promoter of switching to Affinity from competing apps whenever possible.

If the users keep seeing value in it and in its development they can upgrade to newer versions if they wish.

No software includes everything from the start - otherwise it would never be released - it requires several cycles of development/versions to become more capable/efficient over time. So a fairer comparison would be a user buying a regular bicycle and later realise the model he bought doesn't include gears because he didn't check at the time or did not realise their importance for what we wanted to do with it. If it "lacks" some features the user wanted then it probably wasn't the right choice in first place.

In most cases there's also a trial available for them to try (currently 90 days/usually 10 days in our case) to check whether it does what they want or not. If it fulfils their needs then everything is fine, if not they can get a refund and select/move on to something else. All software is sold as is, that is, users purchase what's included in the software package as described in the product page.

A small selection of available literature about Inkscape can be found here.Īll development info can be found here and in the Inkscape Wiki.I certainly understand your frustration for the lacking of "pure" vector brushes in the current version but that comparison is not quite right.
