Serif's Affinity for the Mac

[Albacore]

Do you think that Serif will win many Mac owners with this: https://affinity.serif.com/
Could Xara take a leaf of of Serif's development with their Zoom, Vector brushes and work in any colour space and all for £35. It also covers nearly all of the bases in the import and export filters with todays specification of their file types. If you have a look at their bitmap tool they look correct and not hidden by other vector tools. Mind you it still has a few of the things there from Draw Plus that I am not sure about, like the colour picker and the use of the top menu as the editor. I wish I had a Mac to test it for speed of use and useability and it may find old Freehand users, it may take a few users from Illustrator and it could take a few from Xara if people get tried of the way Microsoft and Windows are going.

I have posted here with this thread as I think more people will read this. It should be posted in General Graphics Chat maybe so if any mods think that this post should not reside here then please move it.

I feel this should be in off topic or Graphics Chat since it is not Xara specific. I cannot move it howerer.

I agree that off topic is a good choice so I've moved it.

I wonder if this will inspire those at Xara to finally do something about the brushes.

That's really the reason I put it in the Xara board area. I thought it has all the vector stuff that I want, that includes decent brushes and Serifs great PDF export/import filter all for £35. That must be a deal breaker for Mac users.

I'm going to put together a Xara VS Affinity feature list.

That'll be the only way the mods don't move posts about it out of sight.

Let me know if you want to help

I am sure that Xara knows about Serif's Affinity features but is you feel strongly about it why not make a comparison between the features in Xara compared with Serif's. With that knowledge you could state that in Dear Xara where many more can see the comparisons.
