Affinity Designer is a graphical editor that allows you to retouch and edit photos using advanced color and lighting tools. Originally the program was created for MacOS, but later the developers released a version for Windows. It is currently in beta testing and may contain errors.

Before you start working with the program, you must select the appropriate mode. By default, the editor works in the vector graphics editing mode, offering additional tools for this purpose. You can also switch to drawing mode and export mode. Affinity Designer provides a wide range of vector brushes and palettes with professional color support for drawing.

Affinity Designer offers robust editing tools with professional color support, enabling precise vector graphics editing and large gigapixel image processing.

The main advantages of the editor include the ability to work with layers, adapt to touch screens, edit the 16-bit channel, make changes to pixel accuracy, work with large gigapixel images, adjust the smooth gradient and much more. In addition to the standard graphic tools, Affinity Designer offers edge rounding, shape geometry editing and curve management tools.

When creating an interface for the editor, the developers implemented all the modern conveniences in it. The graphical shell supports independent tabs with documents and allows you to freely manage toolbars. By the way, these very toolbars can be customized: select the number of items in a row and adjust their position. The editor can also work with hot keys and their combinations.

Affinity Designer is a fantastic graphic design app that allows users to express their creative ideas fully. With the help of the app it is possible to make icons, draw illustrations, print projects and more.

The app has lots of cool features. The Quick Menu allows users to easily access various clipboard options. In case they need to slice any shape or text into component parts, they can use the Knife Tool. For creating abstract objects users can apply the contour tool. It is also possible to add photorealistic textures. Users especially like the fact that they can work with multiple layers and artboards.

I found the software very easy to navigate, and was able to quickly create a professional-looking logo. It has great features such as layer management, vector drawing, and lots of brushes and effects. I love that it supports high-resolution displays and has an undo/redo history that goes back quite a ways. I appreciated the ability to work with shapes and text, as well as the ability to export files in a variety of formats.

This is a graphics editor that allows you to tinker and modify images with advanced color and lighting tools. Initially designed for MacOS, the developers eventually released a version for Windows, which is still in the testing phase, so expect a few bugs. Before diving in, you need to choose your mode. By default, you're in vector graphics editing mode, with all the necessary additional tools. If you want, you can switch to drawing mode or export mode. It supports a variety of vector brushes and palettes that offer professional color support for when you feel like doodling. As for the major advantages, it has highly flexible layer work, adaptation to touch screens, editing in 16-bit channel, pixel-perfect adjustments, and it can even handle gigapixel images without breaking a sweat. You can play with gradients without it looking messy, and there are cool tools for rounding edges, manipulating shape geometry, and handling curves. They've really spruced up their interface with all the modern options: you can juggle document tabs and arrange the toolbar as you like. And of course, there are keyboard shortcuts to speed things up.
