From a photographer’s viewpoint, Affinity Photo is feature-rich and flexible. The native file interoperability can come later. For 49.95, It’s a bargain compared to its main competitor, Photoshop, which only comes with a subscription model (9.95 per month bundled with Lightroom ).

*However, not all the layer types can be read and so with complicated PSD files, one really still needs to export out as a flattened file type.Īs long as Publisher can export to a PDF ISO format that a printer can use, then that's all that matters in my book at this juncture. I just don't get it.it is a false economy.

Heck, the same holds true for exporting to PDF when the publication contains a PDF versus an EPS. Like you, when I transitioned to Affinity Publisher from Adobe InDesign, I was worried that the Affinity program wouldnt be able to handle the task like InD. The first full version of Publisher (using the 1.7 version number, to align with other Affinity products) was first released on June 19, 2019, in conjunction with Serif's 2019 'Affinity Live' event, during which the company also announced the StudioLink integration features for the first time. Exporting for print to a PDF from Q takes longer when it is dealing with what are relatively simple PSD files compared to a TIFF. That transformation absolutely has to happen in the publishing stream anyway. If you’re looking to create something more graphic and advanced, you’d probably want to look into something like InDesign, which is not as user friendly if you’re not familiar with it at all.

The only way QXP can import AI files is if the PDF stream is included.Īnd, I guess this is where I usually insert something about why is this native file format capability even really necessary/needed? The export of a common format to import into a layout application is actually a good thing. Microsoft Publisher is more for beginners, or for basic needs, anyone with some familiarity with the Microsoft suite should be able to use it easily. 4/5 OctoThe course is informative, but does move pretty quickly. The only reason QXP can import PSD* files is that Quark has sussed out the file format. Never know, but it really seems unlikely. I'm thinking that Serif is not going to make it easy for what is/will be a competitor as regards importing native Affinity files.
