I want that search bar. I'm transitioning from Photoshop to Affinity and this tutorial helps a ton. I doubt Adobe will rollback their changes to their TOS so this tutorial comes on a good time for me.

This is the last month I'm using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Coincidentaly, I've been learning Affinity Designer and Photo, and really enjoying the process.

Migrating from Adobe to Affinity is like moving from a cave to a penthouse. Both serve their purposes, but fuck...!
