By invisible, I mean there are ways to accomplish certain tasks without having to interact (i.e. What I love most about Sketch also exists in Adobe XD - invisible interfaces. Invisible UI’s - Smart Guides and Keyboard Shortcuts This isn’t the app for retouching photos or removing backgrounds.įor those Adobe fans that didn’t want to switch to Sketch (or couldn’t because they use Windows), but otherwise acknowledged that Photoshop wasn’t the right tool for UI design, then I promise you, this is the tool you’ve been waiting for.īut what if you’re macOS user who has the choice of both tools? Well, in that respect, you’ll find that Sketch and XD are very neck-and-neck – their UI layouts are almost identical. Since Adobe XD focuses on user interface design, you’ll find image-editing tools virtually non-existent, so the app’s interface is much less overwhelming in comparison to other Adobe apps.

Adobe then sought to improve Photoshop for user interface designers ⏤ they added Artboards, a better export workflow, Smart Guides, and so on. Why?

We’ve been comparing Sketch to Photoshop (and sometimes Illustrator) for quite some time now, but now the debate is being fueled by this question: Adobe XD or Sketch? Photoshop is falling by the wayside when it comes to UI design.
