from 3399 height and 5100 width to the size of 850 px height and 850 px width. when you reset the width and height of the image as you export, example. But, if you’re a power user as I am for print work, it needs better support for the print design side of things to fully replace Illustrator.

I love the ability to export a PDF to a client or printer that auto flattens/outlines the fonts whereas it doesn't destruct the original working file. To the apps defense, it does do a lot with several great features and is lightning fast, which set it apart from Adobe, making it well worth the price. (4) Does not play nice with Font Suitcase, so if you had used a font and open the file later and that font is no longer loaded, it defaults, which goes back to the inability to replace globally.īaing able to handle fonts is a HUGE factor in the graphic design industry - and should be in the top 3 things that should be addressed before I can increase my stars opinion or even consider it a viable application against Illustrator in the slightest. this is a necessity in the print design world. (3) no “collection” ability for proper filing of your work with placed graphics and/or fonts used. (2) cannot import EPS files properly - it rasterizes vectors without reason or ability to correct. It still needs some key features before it can replace Adobe -(1) it lacks the ability to replace fonts globaly in a file, so if you’re converting from Adobe, better take good care and look into every detail before sending to press. My three wishes at the moment are: support for 600 DPI B&W rasterization in Affinity Designer, a trace feature in Affinity Photo, and release of the hinted at alternative to inDesign. This is facilitated by the PDF for export option in Affinity Designer which also supresses rasterization. As PDF files preserve layers, there is little need for cutting and pasting between the two applications. Adobe Illustrator also uses PDF files as an exchange medium. Affinity Designer also generates EPS and Photoshop PSD files along with a range of vector graphic file formats. The user can select PDF standard and resolution for rasterized images in the export popup window. Fonts are subsetted and included in PDF files by default. Affinity Design has a handy file export feature which facilitates this. Although the printer specifies Illustrator, they have had no problems with PDFs generated by Affinity Designer instead. Affinity Designer has the usual facilities for supporting layers, embedded fonts, graphics, photograph inclusion, and drawing.

Affinity Designer has almost all the features that I expect. I primarily use either for book cover design and similar tasks.

Thus far, the Affinity suite pretty much replicates what I was using Adobe software for. I have been using Adobe software since the early 1990s.
