So I think you (Affinity) could attract more casual users with at least some templates. Affinity Designer costs only $20 more than Printworks yet has many, many more features. If there were some good templates, I would replace Swift Publisher.Īnyway, I realize Affinity Publisher is geared towards design professionals who use InDesign, but I think Affinity Publisher would also appeal to non-professionals who use cheaper programs such as those by Belight. However, I haven't bought it yet because I'm not a designer and definitely could use some templates to get me started. I tested the trial version of Affinity Publisher and liked it a lot. For instance, their text wrapping features only allow for rectangular wrapping around images even if the images have a transparent background. However, Swift Publisher and Printworks are limiting in some respects even for the casual user. (Belight also has a program called Printworks that's slightly more advanced than Swift Publisher I've tested the trial version.)Ī great feature of both Swift Publisher and Printworks is that they come with lots (hundreds?) of free templates for all sorts of projects.īelight's programs are definitely made for the average person and not design professionals. However, I like to create original greeting cards for friends and family and occasionally I like to create short newsletters and other small projects.įor the past few years, I have been using Swift Publisher by Belight Software for my needs. I'm not a graphic designer and have only basic design skills. I haven't purchased Affinity Publisher yet (I do own Designer), but I'd like to chime in and also say I'd also love templates. It was not just for professionals wanting to escape Adobe but also for hobbyist and enthusiast photographers wanting something more powerful than the several amateur level photo editors, all of which cost considerably more than AFPhoto. QuarkExpress still limits its market to publishing professionals, as reflected in its price of $975 for one year of upgrades and support.ĪFPub at $50 can surely tap into the market of millions of people who are not publishing professionals but who can benefit from a publishing application. We ended up using MS Publisher for newsletters, tutorial documents, and other printed matter. It did not seem appropriate for the needs of my group. I remember looking at QuarkExpress in 1987 when it first came out. ![]() You compared AFPub to QuarkExpress in the sense that neither provides templates. MSPub does it as four pages which at print time are printed on one side of a single piece of paper in the appropriate locations and orientations. In AFPub it is made as four separate frames on one side of a single sheet of paper with two of the frames printed upside down. It requires a lot more manual effort than MSPub, but it is not difficult once you see the concept. At least some of them also want templates.Īlso in that thread, an afpub file for producing a greeting card in the manner of MSPub. I assume beta testers are professionals who have need of the advanced capabilities of AFPub that I'll never need. AFPub beta testers requested templates more than a year ago. ![]() Thanks outlining how to make a trifold flyer.įor my thoughts about templates.
