Affinity Designer now released for windows

Also, using Xara interface nowadays feels like being Cypher watching Matrix world through the console... I mean... it's so old style!

...and I thought that was one of the things in its favour!

Bought it - Like it enough - Great potential - But, Xara is still (for me), the most intuitive, fastest and easiest way to get a huge variety of projects done.

Yes, it has some features the could/should be it Xara but, not nearly enough for me to make a switch... Xara is just too versatile.

But I'm glad I bought it as I am a long time supporter of Serif due to the years and years of allowing me to work in excellent apps at prices I could afford.

Yes I agree Affinity Designer is nice but Xara will remain my main workhorse.

hope brush stabilisation is implemented in affinity photo as well as designer, it's turning out that I'm using photo more

I think the light UI will be a good too

I'm interested in AD but I did not try it because I read that it doesn't support boolean operations on groups. The next two things I'd insist on are ClipView or any handling of intersections that is just as fast, and I cannot work with software that needs me to hold shift/alt/ctrl while doing something with the mouse. I'm pretty sure Affinity and Inkscape are not easy to use for me.

xara is also good but its kinda old fashioned. If xara improve there interface then i will be back on xara .

Photo Clipping - This should be obvious but maybe not to everyone. It is not the software as the artist using it. If you look at this gallery you will see some very impressive art created by some very impressive Xara users. These users have picked Xara because of the interface and because it allows them to express themselves quickly and powerfully.

We look forward to seeing what you have created. With any software.
