We first started considering moving away from Adobe as our team began to expand. Should this current rate of expansion be maintained, Affinity looks set to match and maybe even surpass the range of functions and features that helped establish Illustrator as the unrivalled platform for so many years. Moreover, Affinity is fast expanding its range of tools and feature set with regular updates – inviting its users to submit new feature requests openly on their forum. It is equipped with most of the functionality seen in its more renowned rivals, plus a whole host of new features and capabilities. Affinity is not a sub-standard alternative in fact, it valiantly competes with Adobe on all fronts.Īffinity is a high-end graphics software application that has been created to be used by professional designers.

Though designers shouldn’t be too quick to dismiss the platform on the basis of price alone. Affinity Photo is a dedicated image editing application boasting a wealth of highly refined tools for image readjustment and enhancement.Īffinity Designer and Photo are both available for a one-off fee of £48.99 each, which represents a more cost-effective solution to Adobe’s subscription-based plans. The Affinity Designer app neatly draws influence from Adobe’s two most renowned applications: Photoshop and Illustrator. Goliath fashion, Affinity arguably represents Adobe’s fiercest challenger yet, and early evidence suggests that Adobe faces a real challenge to maintain its tight grip on the market.
