![]() ![]() I used Aldus PageMaker, Quark XPress, and a variety of lesser programs. I used Xerox Ventura Publisher for a college newspaper back around '90 or so. If you are not already a fully fledged professional who is set in his ways by very specific workflows, you should do fine.įor what it's worth, my experience with these kinds of programs goes back to the late 1980s. So, yes, Affinity is usable in a professional environment. You see, this is not a full list, but very specific gripes I have with the software.īut I managed to overcome all of them, or at least make due without them for a couple of years now. Should only bother you if you are typesetting books a lot. Publisher: no automatic system for footnotes. You just need to be more aware of what you are doing. You have to double check every time you want to assign 100 percent black to an element. Some of the blacks used by the app are 4color blacks. More than once I had colors altered, because a different color space was assigned to them. There‘s no universal Setting for „preserve colors on import“. Publisher: Color management is a headache from time to time. But even Indesign offers only rudimentary support for that without expensive 3rd party software. ![]() Publisher: When you want your PDFs to be accessible, you are out of luck. It is always trying to apply anti-aliasing to them, which makes the borders of the flattened areas visible. Photo: Engine is shit at rasterizing flattened EPS or PDF files. I started with PS 2.5 which was waaaaaaay worse, so no complaints there. Photo: Main gripe: There are too many manipulations that have to be done destructively. Still would be nice to have one in the future. That‘s more of a luxury than an actual must-have. Designer: Lack of a shape builder tool. Here are some shortcomings I have struggled with in Affinity: „Missing file formats and whatnot“ is not something I am familiar with. Only you can decide if any of the missing features is a dealbreaker for you. I personally have used Publisher exclusively for two years now and I have never looked back. I would say they all are at 80 percent feature parity. Publisher has about the same amount of shortcomings compared to Indesign as the other two apps have compared to Illlustrator and Photoshop. So please share your honest opinion, also if you've used adobe before than tell if affinity was poor and massive downgrade. In video editing side I'm buying Davinci resolve studio (my uncle has decided to gift that to me ). So if anyone of you uses publisher then please give me hard and honest opinion, no pro affinity opinion.Īlso share your experience so far in photo and designer and whether it'll be enough for my freelance tasks. Is this true and is publisher that shitty? You can tell I'm not that privileged in money to waste so I'll buy only if it's worth it and no I can't judge it by some days trial for free because I'm so new that until I learn it for few months I won't be able to even understand the features let alone judge. I watched many comparisons and from what I understood photo and designer are almost perfect in comparison to adobe products with maybe couple of not so useful features missing.īut almost everyone said publisher app is really poor because it doesn't support important file formats and what not. So I'm really new and have no experience with any creative softwares and ofcourse adobe prices are too much for a college student like me living in a third world country with 40$ monthly pocket money by parents Vimeo Affinity Vimeo Affinity Photo Vimeo Channel Affinity Designer Vimeo Channel YouTube Affinity YouTube Affinity Photo YouTube Channel Affinity Designer YouTube Channel Tutorials Artwork General Downloads Photo Designer Publisher Questions Affinity News & SocialĪffinity Support Forum Related SubredditsĪffinity Publisher Affinity Video Channels Affinity SoftwareĪffinity Photo Affinity Designer Affinity Publisher Affinity DiscordĬhat about Affinity in the Affinity Discord channel!
