I see it more as an alternative for private use and a small sector of professional designing. That's all I wanted to say. And I don't think that Serif is seriously trying to target Adobe's main market.
For that, simply too many basics are way too "clunky" as you said or missing completely. If only they were to focus some energy on those essentials, they potentially could be a legitimate competitor, not perhaps universally, but at least to a wider segment of professionals. I have just bought the iPad app and it is a great piece of software, but i sooooo miss perspective distort! Hi MEB It's not enough if it only changes vector shapes.
In designer you can use raster brushes to add texture, so a transformer tool should be able to change the raster elements too. I wanted to chime in that a free transform or perspective distort tool feels like basic functionality to me, and I can't accomplish of a lot of the effects I want to achieve without it. I would love if it were added for both vector and pixel elements, and could probably stop using Photoshop entirely for my design work if it were.
Seeing how long people have been asking for this feature is pretty disheartening. We need vector perspective distort badly and other warp tools would be nice too to use this software professionally without frustrating workarounds. I love Affinity.
I was a Fireworks user years ago and was so annoyed when Adobe bought it and just let it die not realizing the value it brought in ease of use and layout for screen. Affinity has that intuitive ease of use but is missing this most important feature. I'm tired of trying to evangelize this software but having to say for years now, "It's great, but We're not there yet, but soooo close. Maybe Serif should get a round of funding and purchase VectorStyler to incorporate their features with some improvements for usability?
Or maybe you're on the cusp of great things including this feature for version 2. Sure would be nice to have some idea when or even if this is going to be released. I don't think that Serif is seriously trying to target Adobe's main market. I also remember seeing an article before any affinity app was released not been able to find it that clearly stated the apps were a challenge to the Adobe suite.
The article was a press release written by Serif. I'm not recommending Affinity Suite as an alternative to Adobe to professional colleagues yet , and don't see myself doing so in the near future. See my profile for background. You can post now and register later.
