Astute graphics plugins discount professional#
If you are a professional user, the opinions of cost (Affinity being low cost, Adobe Illustrator Cloud with its 20+ major apps also being very good value) can only be determined on the requirements of a user's workflow. There are many reasons why Affinity will be the best for a specific workflow and/or budget. I always encourage that creatives and technical users make use of the best tools that suit them. There is naturally overlap, but I have suggested - and have seen - users adopt both packages simultaneously for different reasons. But here's my thoughts and responses based on my personal experience in the market for years which includes considerable hours behind Affinity Designers since its original release:Īdobe Illustrator has a 25 year head start over Affinity. We've had an amazing response since first posting the Astute Graphics Tech sneak peeks on YouTube a month ago.įull disclaimer - I am the founder and MD of Astute Graphics, so my opinions are bound to be biased.

I have been prompted to take a look at this thread.įirstly, thanks to all for the interest from a user's level and kind comments about our products. I wonder too if their tech could be incorporated in some vector animation apps as well, like Harmony or Moho? Before they had just one revenue stream which was Adobe Illustrator users, but now, it could increase significantly. There are so many vector apps popping up now, not just Affinity Designer, but other apps like Sketch, Gravit, Figma. I would gladly pay more for Designer if it had these missing features, especially if it was powered with some of this AG tech.Īlso, this is a smart move on Astute's part. Yes, Illustrator is some 30 years old but Designer doesn't need to go 30 years to catch up to some of their features. You look at the various forums and users pleading for offset path, better point reduction, improvements to the expand stroke, better more consistent booleans, users wanting something like the shape builder tool from Illustrator, the list goes on and on.
Astute graphics plugins discount license#
I have many of the Astute Plugins for Illustrator and it would really allow Serif to catch up and fill in glaring problems with Designer if they were able to license some of that tech. So this option of licensing the product technology seems a good possibility. Of course, another option would be to work with AG and have them port the plug-ins to AD, but me thinks Serif would rather keep control. They very much extend Illustrator's capabilities and make the thing actually (and easily) usable. I also think that as Adobe continuous to erode away third-party developers plug-ins by making native support for some of the functionality, this is a smart move on AG's part and I hope it works out well for them. That is, AG also doesn't have the time and capability to develop for other specific applications and it would take developers years to natively develop such technology-if they could even do so. The same applies to AG as it does for developers. I can see it allows a benefit for both AG and other graphics application developers. I got an email from Astute Graphics this morning.
