Pros/Cons
Pros
- This application software is so easy to understand and use and a good replacement for Photoshop. People who are looking for an affordable and better way to design should switch to Affinity.
- If you are new to design and illustration, Affinity Designer is a great option with a great set of tools that will help you materialize your ideas.
- The price includes all updates within that version, and it updates enough to maintain user confidence. Overall, my opinion is that if you care about graphics of any kind, this is a tool worth having.
Cons
- There were a couple of features that I used in other softwares that were missing.
- The only con I have encountered so far is the lack of a button you can hold to switch to colorpicker.
- If there's any degree of complexity (meaning more than one shape), it's going to be an absolute disaster to work with in Designer.
Pros
- CorelDraw is one of the best in this field, it's a stable and reliable tool for any designer. It has endless options and functions to fit everyone's needs and it's a pleasure to use.
- I started my career as a graphics designer with this software and in a decade I can say I am pro at using CorelDraw. I love the interface and ease to use for all my creative work productions.
- The design of how all your ideas are on the computer is very good since the design of your idea is very exact and the detail it has with small aspects of the sketch is something great.
Cons
- Had to Contact support and reinstall so many times I lost count. When I complained the last time and requested a newer version to REPLACE the old one I was asked for another $500.
- This is the worst part that i experienced in this software amongst any other.
- I particularly waste a lot of time preparing these processes / files. Because corel doesn't have as many programs as your direct competitor, I see that integration with a cloud platform is missing.
