Work faster in Affinity apps with these keyboard cheatsheets

It's been an exciting year for Affinity users. So far 2018 has seen the launch of the first full-spec vector art app for iPad in the shape of Affinity Designer, plus the release of Affinity Publisher in free beta and an Affinity Photo update for iPad.

The expansion of Serif's creative armoury comes as no surprise. Its tools have won over creatives thanks to their excellent functionality and very reasonable prices. For users frustrated with subscription-based alternatives, the imminent launch of Affinity Publisher on iPad could be the final incentive they need to switch to the platform.
