  1. Affinity Publisher is amazing in so many ways. I just wish its small caps didn't suck so hard I have to go through the whole document and apply a different character style for the first letter of each small capped word.

  2. I had some unlucky timing in trying to migrate from #Adobe to #Affinity. They shut the store down pending a major announcement at the end of October, right after I started my trial. Well, a bit of relief: They re-enabled any trials that were started after September 20th, and bumped them to a full 30 days, so that will get me past the big news, whatever that is. Now I can keep working on my migration in the mean time.

  3. Voy a darle otra oportunidad a #scribus, a ver si tiene ya todo lo que necesito para maquetar el nuevo libro.

    Los cuatro o cinco últimos los he montado con #affinityPublisher y, oye, muy bien. Un software bastante comprensible, potente y de precio razonable.

    Pero me jode tener que usar el macbook también para eso.

    Y ni putas ganas de ponerme a echar andar Affinity sobre wine.

  4. Oh, btw I got #AffinityDesigner, #AffinityPhoto and #AffinityPublisher running on Fedora and they are working fine. But I didn't do anything serious with them yet. If they run fine in the long run, I will definitely switch to a Linux machine.

  5. What's some (hacky) way to get some semi-scripted output for #AffinityPublisher? Its Merge capabilities seem rather early 90s, so not even simple IF conditions.

    So if I were to design a #ttrpg spellbook, where there's an icon or color code indicating the magical tradition, I have to manually format 100+ sections?

    I might need to take a closer look at either Typst, or my vows against Adobe…

  6. #Affinity の単体でよくセールしてるけど、結局公式のユニバーサルライセンス買うのが一番コスパとしては良い気がするんだよな〜
    1.5万くらいの金額で買い切りですべてのアプリ、すべてのプラットフォーム(macOS, Windows, iOS)版が使えるし、

    * Publisher の #StudioLink を使って Designer と Photo も行き来しながら作業しつつ
    * アートボードとかレイヤーごとに複数の設定で一括書き出しとかしたいときは Designer
    * RAW 現像とかレタッチに特化したペルソナを使いたいときは Photo

    みたいに Affinity 3 アプリを全部使ってこその魅力もあるから…といち古参ユーザーとしては思う…

  7. The more I attempt to use #AffinityPublisher, the more convinced I am that no one involved in this product has ever actually done desktop publishing, or if they have, they'e never used Pagemaker, Quark XPress, or InDesign. The choices made in this app are baffling.

  8. I've been thinking about #Software, specifically #Affinity apps #AffinityPhoto and #AffinityPublisher, and how they differ from #Photoshop and #InDesign most specifically.

    The place it's most obvious is the treatment of Layers - Photoshop’s layering is a very direct recreation of the sort of cell stacks anyone who has done traditional animation would understand. Even things like Effects Layers and Masks, they're very of the physical. (1/3)

  9. Die #Affinity Programme haben ein frisches Update erhalten - 2.6 bringt nicht nur optionale (!) genrative-KI Features, sondern auch Verbesserungen beim Erstellen und bearbeiten von Inhalten für Screenreader - Barrierearme PDFs werden dadurch mit Affinity Publisher wesentlich leichter zu erstellen sein als bislang:

  10. @ItsThatDeafGuy I use #AffinityPublisher and the rest of the #Affinity suite. Several other people here do as well.

    Why do you ask?

  11. Dear Affinity, any thoughts why your Publisher app starts attempting to contact every page on my reading list/bookmarks/browser history including my health insurance provider on launch?

    (You cunts.)

    (Did I mention I fucking hate capitalism?)

    PS. This is an app downloaded from the Mac App Store and it’s got a lovely, comforting, blue, Apple-approved checkmark to let you know that data is not collected. So it’s safe. *phew!*

  12. @kevindreher You may be happy with Affinity Publisher depending on what you need to accomplish. #affinity #affinitypublisher
