If any of this changes, of course it would be great. I doubt that the Affinity Designer (AD) file format will be documented: So it is essential to make those tools self-confident and less aggressive towards the Adobe-alternative ecosystem. A regular paying Adobe user usually won't pay for additional apps. But from observing the market and how Quark and Affinity Publisher market their tool ('can import InDesign'), it is an argument against Adobe. This is just a simple idea, maybe not easily done. With seamless integration of the competitors who work with each other, it would give a good argument to stay out of Adobe's world. As an active Affinity forum user, I often read those complaints there is always something missing. Why am I thinking this is 'empowering' for VectorStyler? Because it addresses the ecosystem outside Adobe and gives finally more designers who would love to switch/leave slavery but do not know better.

with export into Affinity Format (if that is even possible) or at least let the files be shared/transferred directly to Affinity from within VectorStyler. Therefore I think it would be a perfect and beneficial idea to has the API of VectorStyler communicate with the Affinity suite. It is for 'designing,' not vector experimenting (to put it in a capsule). AlienSkin feel integrated and empowering for the Abobe Suit.Īs I dug more into the 'why is Affinity Designer has no all those transform tools like Illustrator has' in the forum, I figured out, Affinity has a different approach to Designer. One of the strengths of Macromedia and Adobe was/is the integration within but also with other plugins and tools.

And said goodbye 3 years later, while I switched to Affinity.

I am hooked and will be a paying customer for sure after it is out of beta. I found out about VectorStyler just yesterday in the Affinity forum.
