Affinity Designer

Finally there is one alternative to Adobe Illustrator on the marked. It is called Affinity Designer and after four year of development it is available for OS X (only). It looks very promising and I am very tempted to give it a shot as long as it is 20% of. But for $65 it is a real bargain compared to the Adobe alternative.

On their webpage they also announced a competitor to Photoshop which is even more interesting. I am curious if they manage to really make the big P obsolete for my workflow. Until now I did not found anything which comes close to the default functionality of Photoshop. And please don't start with GIMP. Never liked it, never will. GIMP is just a tool from nerds for nerds and I am an artist and I want to work efficiently without a steep learning curve. That being said if Affinity Photo does that for me I say bye, bye to Adobe Photoshop.
