Affinity Publisher for Pc

I have come to love the entire the app suite of tools, and can't imagine not having all three apps, since they compliment, and work so seemlessly together. It is where I go first to accomplish everything I want to. I had used Adobe, and Macromedia, and Corel, and Microsoft; but it wasn't until the app's structure, workflow and apps that I really got it. I used to struggle with concepts, and I had difficulty comprehending artistic flows in the digital and vector worlds. I seemed dependent upon Corel to do it for me automatically; but try and modify and use a Corel drawing traced automatically; what a nightmare. the app gives me the tools to accomplish everything, and really understand why and how I'm doing it. Photoshop tutorials used to just baffle me; why are you doing that, and what the heck are you talking about. Since I jumped in to the the app line of Designer, Photo, and Publisher I feel more confident that I can figure out a solution to any task that I can readily take with me and utilize in an unlimited number of variations and scopes. And not to have to be bound by a binding and limiting subscription fee that holds your work hostage from you. I love the the app apps, workflow, and empowerment. Thank you.

If you ever wasted time switching between a publisher type program, photo editor and vector editor you have got to try this app with the other two apps linked. I have all three programs and they flow like water one into the other. This is a major game-changer! Being a big fan of Affinty apps, I had been using the Publisher program in beta form for some time now, which had the link to the other programs disabled. While I have really enjoyed the Publisher program by itself, the link to the other programs makes this an incredibly powerful creative tool. Add edits, paint on the doc, create vector images and adjust them...all within the same document. This app has completely changed my workflow! Add the low cost and no subscription needed aspect of these programs and it is really a no brainer. Other favorite features: -Typography handling. Open type features are easily available and previewable! -Different layers on each page. - Linking or embedding of images with a resource manager to manage how each image is handled. - High performance. Blending modes and brushes are previewed on the page before committing to any action. - Fantastic snapping and alignment tools.

Been a long time user of InDesign and a user of the the app apps since their public beta of Designer. I've been waiting for years for something to rival and hopefully surpass InDesign. Finally this app has been released. This app is amazing, what it may lack in number of features when compared to InDesign it more than makes up for in speed and workflow. After using Publisher, I can't ever imagine going back to InDesign. Daily I use Designer and Photo, which have replaced Illustrator and Photoshop for me both at work and in my personal use. I can safely say, without a doubt, Publisher will be replacing InDesign for me also. I can't wait to see what the app does next with these apps. This is truly a giangantic leap forward in technology for a creative like myself. the app has shown they care about the product, and their customers more than making greedy investors happy. I can't recommend Publisher and the other the app apps enough!

I find this software unusable without templates. I need to get work done, and without any pre-made starting points I am looking at spending a couple of hours just to create something that would accurately replicate a basic Word document. I need to watch an hour of poorly made training videos and then try to figure out the counterintuitve, non-standerd design. I already wasted an hour going through the absurd processs of having the app recognize that I already own Photo and Designer. Why am I bouncing around from websites to the app store and back to the app where I have to restart? Just put in 20 templates for commone things like a report; a two-fold brochure; a tri-fold brochure; a 2/3 1/3 layout; a resume; etc. And find someone competent to do good instructional videos. The ones you have are terrible: they spend a long time on obvios, common user interface features, gloss over things that are peculiar to Publisher, and give zero real-world examples. My time is better spent sticking with Word at this point, and that is strong criticism.
