Want to know why Affinity put their stuff on sale? Well, these paragraphs from their website say it all: Nice touches abound would you believe you can flip a switch and the app goes into “left-handed mode”? (I bought these too.) The apps are great, the offers are great, but THIS– this is really great. I bought all three– Affinity Publisher, Affinity Photo, and Affinity Designer– and am having a ball playing with them.Īffinity also makes iPad versions of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. I think you’ll agree– the Affinity apps are a treat. This is what Mac software was meant to be. Even if you’re already using Adobe’s apps, give these apps a try. They’re a pleasure to use, smooth and fast and full of thoughtful features. If you are even the slightest bit creative or design-y, or want to be, you have to take a look at Affinity’s apps. If I were you, I’d get the free trials right now. And of course it works the same way in all three Affinity apps. A movie’s worth a thousand words, so watch this real-life recording (I was trying to make the words “Meeting Controls here” fill the purple box): Affinity Designer, changing the font size In fact, this isn’t really “Adobe’s way.” It’s “the normal way.” But it turns out there’s a better way.Īffinity’s way is to dynamically change the size of the type, on the page, on the fly, as you slide up and down in the type menu. The “Adobe way” to do it is you select the text, and you choose a size from a menu (or you type a size into a box), you see how it looks, you try again, you see how it looks, you try again, and so on. If you’ve used Illustrator, or Photoshop, or InDesign, you have an idea of how Affinity’s apps might work… and you’d be right, except they are so much nicer to use than Adobe’s!įor example, suppose you have some text, and you want to experiment by changing the size.
