Given the price tag it's worth looking into. You may end up being surprised how much it can handle for your work. Support them even if you will barely use em. Good on Serif for bringing a program and kicking up a racket to graphic arts. Affinity has put them all together in an ingenious way and it's really nice to not have to wait for photoshop to open to edit, or illustrator. CGS PDF Tuner does it, but it's expensive (rather was expensive, but now only offered with other products not standalone). One day you could work in one program to edit type, vectors and photos. I remember the promise of the desktop revolution. Why wouldn't you try it and see? Isn't it nice to see some life in the segment? What, been 19 years since Macromedia gave up the ghost (oh Freehand, I still miss you!). Rent a Center vs purchase once at cost of less than two months. Don't you dare update them without purchasing them again (Vinyl to CD to Download.) Will it completely replace InDesign? Not yet, but they keep pressing closer. I keep using Publisher more and more as I can. I have used Publisher as a varnish check, which has worked out quite well. Publisher, set one page and you can move down the pages. InDesign you have to import and position each page. I created a master page with the spot color and it's 7 minutes completed vs 15 for pitstop.Ĭheck folios for positioning.

I have set of files that come in process that need to be black and Pantone color. I have set type and extended bleed and swapped out images. That has been fixed in subsequent updates. That worked great, could not get the pdf to export as 1 color. I had a 1 color pdf that needed to have the panels fixed for a trifold. I have had some total bombs, but a few hail Mary's as well have worked out.Įxporting to pdf can be a nail biter. Affinity Publisher along with the rest of the suite has a ways to go, yes! It is an exciting program.
