Well. It is a long time since my last post here.
I knew of Affinity Designer 2 months ago. Ladies and gentleman: Hats off.
This is by far the most powerful, fast and capable application for the thousand of loyal FreeHand users around the world.
On October, 2 Affinity Designer has debuted on the Mac App Store and is number one right now in number of downloads. It is the Editor's Choice.
So what will be present on in this version 1.1.0.
I have purchased it, of course. And I sent several files to Serif to check compatibility with FreeHand.
In 2 months Serif will have a operational Beta of Affinity Photo. By the fall of 2015 Affinity Publisher will be a reality.
Saludos desde España.
