  • My New Favorite Vector Graphics Editor

    5
    By Passepartout
    I’ve been a devotee of bezier-based graphics editors since I first used Illustrator 88 in the Paleolithic era. Ever since I got sick of Adobe’s subscription model antics, I’ve used a succession of vector graphics editors with varying levels of satisfaction and success. This replaces Sketch, Graphic, and Affinity Designer as my go-to options for vector editing tasks (I used to prefer Sketch for UI work, Graphic for working on fine detail, such as icons, and Affinity for larger designs. If you want advanced typographic tools, you’ll probably still want Affinity Designer (or, shudder, Illustrator) but for most tasks this program is capable, lightweight, and works really well at a low level (e.g. its booleans don’t create unnecessary vertices, and the way polygons are styled is highly compatible).

    I'll admit, I didn't put a ton of time into reading the documentation first. It LOOKED like a more economic Illustrator analogue. It won't open EPS files, which was the sole thing I downloaded it for. I tried working backwards from compatible file types (JPEG & PNG) of my original, but couldn't find a straightfoward way to convert my existing files. The app seems fine, but I'm going back to Adobe. Edit 2024-03-26: Developer responded to tell me its an old file type. Unhelpful. Please note the difficulty in creating a vector from an existing image.

    I'm giving this two stars right now, but I'll revisit it as I try out the purchase. I bought this on 4/30/23 and so far I have to force quit the app 5 times due to it freezing on certain, moderately intensive files (Apple has the reports). Belight's discription is half right: fine on simple/small illustrations, icons, logos, UIs, etc., it is NOT capable for professional use, intensive art, illustrations, etc., -- beach ball of death.

  • Does pretty much everything I need it to

    Checks most of the boxes for a vector image creator, my one major complain is that you can't set keyboard shortcuts so every time I want to cut a path or merge selected points I have to go and manually click the buttons which is a bit disruptive to my workflow. If they added in those keyboard shortcuts/the ability to map my own shortcuts I would rate this 5 stars

  • Finally a way to draw that fits like a glove

    Old guy here, I learned vector drawing on Illustrator 88. I’ve been looking for an alternative to Illustrator (too many features, it has become a major ‘lifestyle committment’). I just need to draw a few things and quickly create new versions in various sizes for a variety of media. Google Draw isn’t the appropriate tool. I also tried iVinci and Canva but they’re not quite right. I need a classic and capable pen tool, EPS & PDF export, page sizes based on the real world. That’s about it. Amadine does that and adds many other proven functions. I’m using Amadine for drawing logos, creating posts, laying out signage, stickers, patches, and graphics for websites. It feels like the original Illustrator but re-vamped for the modern world. Pristine, elegant, no stupidity. If you want to draw things and be efficient, and you already understand the value of the pen tool, and you don’t need 500 cheesy Instagram templates, and you don’t want yet another handcuff-in-the-cloud, then this program is the best answer I’ve seen. Thank you Belight. Very pleased so far.

  • An amateur's opinion

    I'm not a complete beginner, but get overwhelmed with the complexity of professional vector graphics programs. Even Amadine is likely to be overwhelming to a complete beginner, so be prepared for a learning curve if that's true of you. However, I was able to start working with this program without reading any instructions, a sign that the interface is well-designed (though quite similar to other programs). It's not always about cost, and I'm giving this high marks not because of its low price, but for good choices about what to include and what to leave out. It's farily new and I found some minor burps, but nothing that could not be quickly overcome with quit and restart. Just right, I'd say, for someone who's going to use it now and then but doesn't have the time or desire to master the more complicated tools and techniques of advanced drawing applications.

    This is a perfect set of tools, in a perfect interface, in a perfect app. An incredible amount of thought and work went into this and the result is wonderful. I do wish it had some simple diagraming abilities but otherwise it's an amazing mid-level graphics tool, or for advanced users who prefer to do more with a bit less.

  • Incredible Value

    I've been trying to get off Illustrator for awhile now and this is the first app that feels good enough. There's still some work to be done, but I love it nonetheless. Performance is a little weird for me personally, I'm running on the latest 16" MBP and having some software chugging when working on more than 5 sheets.

    As a huge Affinity Designer nerd for its simplicity and easy editing, this program seems to follow a lot of the similar routes. They both got something right that Adobe Illustrator did not. "An Easy Learning Curve and no monthly subscription." Everything is so straight forward, interface is easy to navigate, the tools are great, and this makes drawing fun. The only two things I dislike about this program is that it is not yet up to par with speed and compatability. Various effects and complex bitmap pattern fills really slow the program down. And I cannot transfer files I made from other vector programs in this one (efficently). SVG results to loss of formatting, and the other file formats do not work as well But for a beginning vector program, it's amazing how much has already been implimented. Usually, it takes years for many features to come with the package. This needs more awareness, a support forum, and etc. This takes a great first step.

  • Amazing App but one slight problem.

    By Susankhad
    This app is amazing in everyway! It is super simple and got me to stop safraficing my soul to adobe just for illustrator. The only problem ive found is when I create a text box in the newest version and use the font "Raleway" part of the J stuck out of the text box so when I moved it a small black stay on the screen from the cut off J. It doesnt show up when I export it but it just confuses me.
