Thank you. Preordered Publisher workbook!
Just received it. It's my first Affinity Workbook. It's gorgeous and will be very useful for me to get better acquainted with Publisher. Thank you team!

There is no official "reason", but here are some of examples of us (mainly me) explaining we do not make one.
- FAQ: Are the Affinity Workbooks available as a PDF or eBook?
- PDF version of either or both photo/designer book?
- Publisher - will there be a .pdf document
- Affinity Photo Workbook
- Official PDF User guide for AP and AD
- Affinity Designer Workbook eBook Availability
We wish to make a physical book, so we have. I appreciate many here hope we would also wish to make a downloadable one, but we have not done that for this series of books.
Thanks for the links. Indeed, no reasons given and nothing new to make me any wiser. I'd better drop the issue but surely someone will fire it up again somewhere in the future...

It might actually be interesting for users to set up the device themselves because they can fully customize it to their needs. Problem might be which icons to use for the various keys. Perhaps a company like SideShowFX might be a source. They already make LoupeDeck icons for various apps, as well as for Affinity Photo (not for LoupeDeck but for TouchPortal and StreamDeck).
-
Sure, but if people here want out-of-the-box Affinity support, they would have to talk to LoupeDeck and not Serif, as some did earlier in this thread.

Well, that's encouraging to hear for those who'd like to invest the time and effort into this device.
So, I guess you'll have to go to LoupeDeck and ask them for Affinity-app support. It doesn't seem to be a Serif issue.

If you don't mind, this discussion has been had many times before and does not belong in this thread which is about the Black Friday Sale
I quickly browsed the results of your link but could not really find anything pertinent. Could you give the link to Affinity's answer to this question that has been discussed 'many times before?'
I take issue with you that my question doesn't belong in this thread because it's in this thread that you announce the upcoming publication of the Publisher workbook, upon which I immediately ordered the book. I am looking forward to its delivery, but I also would like to work with a digital version because a 'coffee table style book' is not the ideal medium to use as a workbook.
I must say I don't quite understand your reply.

No this is only sold as a physical object.
Patrick, would you care to explain why a digital version will not be available? A "No" is always easier to accept if an explanation is given. Now users can only conjecture as to Affinity's reasons, such as copyright and royalty issues.
I'm sure Affinity appreciates the fact that (many) users prefer working with a digital version. Some reasons are: the already mentioned search function, no large desk footprint, increased portability, updateable by Serif as new app features come out, lower price, no shipping issues. I'm sure the list is longer.
You see, I need a good story for when people see me in front of my computer screen with a big how-to book and wonder what has happened to me. 🙂 And a proper justification for myself at all those times the book will have become a bit more outdated as I download a new APub version, starting with 2.0. 😞

This is from the LoupeDeck website:
Loupedeck’s Custom Profiles are a powerful addition to the Loupedeck Software, further expanding the functionality of your Loupedeck CT.
Custom Profiles are simply a set of recorded User Actions and User Adjustments and a mapping of selected actions and adjustments. You can create your own Custom profiles for any software installed on your computer, using the Loupedeck Profile Creator within Software version 3.2 and above, for any 3rd party software, application, or even native integrations.
It also provides a link to some examples: https://loupedeck.com/en/profiles.
So, you can make your own setups for the Affinity apps.

No, you tell them... 🙂

@Patrick Connor Thanks for letting me know. It was no big deal but it's nice to know how the word got in Affinity's English-language message.
-
Received notice that Publisher workbook is shipping. Contained a funny error....

Thank youi, smadell, very useful.
Looking at your sample photos, I like the one with the tonal-range macro applied better because it looks more natural. Of course, changing the settings of either of the macros may give very different results.
Happy holidays to you as well and thanks again.

Thank you. Preordered Publisher workbook!
-
Wow, that's quite a list of fixes & updates! Thanks, team!
-
Well, now it's all clear! 🙂
-
Fair enough. I raised the issue because I felt uncomfortable with someone else posting links to fonts in this thread that were not okayed by Mithferion but if his not objecting is in fact an implicit nod, that's fine with me. 🙂
-
With all due respect CLC, but aren't you hijacking Mithferion's thread? He started this as a 'Curated list of Free for Commercial Use Fonts,' meaning that he's the curator of it. Of course, if you have his consent to post your finds in this list, please accept my apologies.

I know I could join in but I don't have the focus right now.
-
I'm not in the beta program but great that you guys keep churning out bug fixes, improvements (and new features)!
