I knew to the creative space and software. What would be recommended for the novice that is user-friendly and naturally intuitive? Thanking you.
How about my indesign file and the fonts used? How can i import that in publisher?
over the history of davinci they have never increased prices only decreased prices
This was very helpful! Thanks so much for the informative video.
I just bought the Affinity Suite for all platform because it's so much cheaper than the STUPID ADOBE subscription model, plus now ADOBE will have access and license to ALL YOUR work, public and PRIVATE!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy!!!!!!
they're now offering 50% discount.. quite timely now that adobe has decided to jump the shark.
I hope they develop a Lightroom alternative that integrates into Photo, that would be my dream come true.
Its 50% off right now!
Since this is still the funcionality in 2024, why is this better? Seems more difficult
❤
For me just the added feature of "bookks" in Pubisher is enough for me. I moved to V.2
Does Affinity Photo have the same capabilities as Photoshop Camera RAW Filter?
brilliant thanks
Canva should be celebrating every time Adobe decides to raise its prices.
They also have a 50% off sale rn
Good Video!
Do you know why there is almost no videos reviewing this app when it looks its a really fucking powerful and convenient app, also cheaper, also out of **** adobe.
I created a stamp but when I scale down to place on my map im having a massive loss in quality. Any ideas? I've adjusted the DPI but that doesn't seem to help.
Hi it’s me from the future. I’m a beginner coming from Curve. Bought AD2 for iPad. Seems like AD2F iPad has gotten more…feature-rich, I’ll say.😂
This was really helpful! Thank you. I'm in the process of seeing if I can swap from Adobe to Affinity so this has helped me get an understanding of the UI, The thing I need to get my head around next is the keyboard shortcuts 😅
Glad it helped!
50% discount right now , after Adobes recent duck up
Thank you so much for breaking this down for us!!
You are so welcome!
Waaaaaaay too fast a talker!
I am sorry but no one is alternative to InDesign. IND is Pro app. The rest of the ones you showed are programs for amateurs. These are not comparable. None of these programs can replace IND. Unfortunatelly :(
Thank you so much! So jam-packed with info and easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
I just purchased the Universal license
It’s all the panels that are not in the tool bar that I need.
can you talk a little faster?
I love that it was this fast, just wanted an overview and it was provided, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Is Affinity V2 upgradable to V3 when it’s available or it’s a separate purchse to get the v3?
When you buy it you only get updates for V2. Will have to purchase again for V3, but still think it's worth it.
No I have never wondered if I can learn about Affinity Publisher in only 5 minutes. Honestly not. Sorry dude.
Strange choice to watch this video then…
@@bendesignsmedia Not at all, just because there is a clickbait title doesn't mean it can't contain any useful information. But I wasn't expecting to learn all about it in only 5min ofc.
I was making a simple animation and used the clipping mask it didn’t work at all I don’t know what to do I thought my iPad crashed but it didn’t it just won’t work any help???
He talks so fast. good informative video though.
Thankgod for Affinity- my Adobe bill was costing me over $300 a year I finally ditched Illustrator for Affinity Designer
Currently ther is a lot AI tools - I witched to Affinity and DxO and AI - Adobe is the old school type of working:)
“ALL About The Brush Studio” and then I get to the end of the video and you say “I’m not going to look into how to create your own brush” which was the section I was after as I am trying to figure out why there are no sub brushes on the iPad version compared to the Windows version (V2) or if they are there where are they!
2:13 masking starts
Thank you
How to delete node or achor point in affinity ipad?
Keynote is underrated asf
i just bought affinity... look for a discount code online, i got the universal license for £127 inc tax for v2. i am not a pro but it does everything i need it to, Adobe is way too pro for my needs so i couldn't justify the cost
Thanks, Ben. Just purchased the universal license. Good luck further with your work!
I ditched Adobe back in 2015, when I was in schoool for Graphic Design was using Affinty Photo & Designer along with HitFilm Express for any video post. Now I use all 3 Affinity apps & Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve. Also used Graphic/iDraw, Acorn & Pixelmator//Pixelmator Pro. I have also used Vectornator/LinearityCurve. Try everything and see what works best for yer level of skills & desired results; ya can get good results from iMovie, Keynote to video, Preview & GarageBand.
Im too stupid to understand 😂
do you have InDesign download link so I can you send me pls.. Thanks
Useful tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks man! Wife was just having this issue. You may have saved our marriage!
Maybe you misspoke, but the photo app is definitely for graphic design as well. Graphics don't always have to be vectors and sometimes illustrator/designer simply isn't the best tool.
Even 2.4 Affinity Publisher is not matching InDesign. Converting files from InDesign to Publisher is a pain... No "Hide page" option. Liked or emdeddded images missing or change size...
I agree, you speak too fast, remember, we are not all on the same level as you . I think your video would have been better if the same content was stretched to 10 minutes.
