My top 5 Affinity Designer upgrades in V2

[@janesmith9628]

Thanks for this. I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to get the upgrade (seeing as I just bought my first version last year) so this was helpful to see your own Top 5.

[@NOT_A_TOP_FAN]

So my biggest need was the shape builder. The next was auto trace, which didn’t happen. I’d be curious to know what features you would like added?

Hey there love your channel, kinda new to graphic design ,could you do a video on using the stroke and fill tools in Affinity designer 2 . Million Thanks!

[@corynsboy5814]

Serif Affinity website sent me here.👍👍👍👍👌👌

[@7thSeasonSociety]

Alright

[@tamis5908]

I agree with Demirel - until proven I need the new features, I stay with my various versions of 1.x! But if you're still an Adobe slave, get on board - Affinity products rock!

[@JimRucker]

I agree...I'll stick with my current version of Affinity unless I really need the new features.

[@lonniebates1533]

Its a good thing that they kept details of this update secret until the release. If I had of know the level of the update I wouldn't have bought it.

[@JimRucker]

I guess current users of Affinity have to repurchase thd software to get the upgraded features?

[@eddiebreeg3885]

Yep, but at the moment everything has a 40% discount

[@cekuhnen]

Yes for an outrages single fee again and all coming updates free for 2 Please … That’s a bargain No it is offensive cheap

[@darleneroach2848]

Boy Affinity we sure could have used a FANTASTIC simple to use trace tool too...

[@renehouse2015]

Did they include an auto-trace feature to convert a bitmap to a vector in v2.0?

[@PawFromTheBroons]

Nope. You still have to roundtrip to Inkscape or something, just to trace your bitmaps.

[@renehouse2015]

@@PawFromTheBroons Oh man, that sucks!

[@cekuhnen]

Let’s be honest is adobe streamlining their apps ? Nope adobe idea do too r&d but photoshop and illustrator are kinda at ist core stagnant

[@tommyapex4595]

Don't ever tell me that the ridiculous chain of shapes bs which was demonstrated is faster than dragging and pressing hotkey for add....

[@7thSeasonSociety]

Hey man....I will be the first to say the V2 upgrade was ehhhh....I am with ya with the operations ...I will use them all the time

[@demirelilgaz365]

It is obvious Affinity needed to suck out more money from its customers; these are just simple upgrades, and they do not have the right to charge extra

[@pscrim]

You have the right to not pay it. Are you saying £38 is too much to own it without paying monthly...whats the point you are making? It sounds like you are saying Serif are money focused, but when you compare it to Adobe's £££ per month Im having trouble understanding your point.

[@kirknurse1720]

@@pscrim I agree, I'm not sure why it is so offensive that a boutique software company that introduced a product 8 years ago would want to earn more revenue by introducing an upgrade for payment. It's not like they're asking for a fortune, if you're fine with 1.10 no need to upgrade.

[@Roughneck7712]

V2 is a major disappointment. Compared to Adobe products, this update isn’t even evolutionary … even when accounting for the price. Serif needs to IMMEDIATELY set out a roadmap of updates with tools that at least get within the ballpark of Adobe or Affinity will rapidly become irrelevant and likely close up shop. IMO, v2 is an insult

[@Hectorfuentest]

Cheap 'old' tools, at a very expensive prize!

[@clafflin493]

Wtf? Expensive? Say that to Adobe. You talk nonsense.
