Although you can use the Fill Tool to apply solid colors to an object’s fill or stroke, its true power lies in its ability to apply and modify gradients. If you want to do fancy things with text (special fills, etc.) then you would use ‘Artistic Text’.įrom AD Help: The Fill Tool allows you to adjust the fill and line colors applied to vector and text objects. After converting to AD, I select the individual lines, delete them, go to IG, select all the text in the block, move to AD, insert a ‘frame text’, then paste the entire block of text into the frame. Text blocks come across as individual lines of text. Lines with arrows come across as multiple individual curves. Objects such as circles and squares come across complete. It’s very helpful to organize AD objects/layers into groups that can be locked/displayed. You can also rearrange an object/layer in the ‘Layers’ list to move it above (which will put it in front of) the next item, or below (which puts it behind). Each object is on its own layer (these are different than IG layers), but as in IG you can lock or turn on/off each object/layer. The results are about the same, however, by using copy/paste you can select specific objects in IG and paste them into AD then immediately identify them as a Group in AD which will make it easier to manage them.Īll objects in AD are ‘curves’. Alternatively, you can select everything in IG, Copy, move to your AD document, and Paste. In Intaglio (IG) you can export to SVG files with options to crop to content, and embed images or export them to separate files. As with many things in the world today, “Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.”įirst off, everything I do is in vector space which is called ‘Designer Persona’ in AD, so I can’t talk about the ‘Pixel Persona’ (bitmap/painting). I’m now in the process of converting some of my most important Intaglio files to Affinity Designer files via copy/paste/clean-up. I watched quite a few of them before deciding to buy the software.

There are many YouTube videos provided by users, and Affinity has many videos of their own about how to use the software. You do have to learn its mindset, such as every graphic element being on its own layer (its layers are very different than Intaglio layers). It handles both vector and raster drawing nicely. Although it doesn’t include automatic dimension lines for dimensioned drawings, it’s other capabilities are impressive (yes, it’s more complex than Intaglio). For those who may be interested, after using Intaglio for many years and following the discussion about Intaglio’s future for many months, I finally decided to move to Affinity Designer.
