I have bought Affinity Photo and see that I can share an edited image to Apple Photo but it is stored as a jpeg. Apple Photo does then act, sort of, as a database (at least I know what I have created and can look for the afphoto version with Affinity Photo); but if I need to need to find an afphoto format files later (and I am guessing it is similar in publisher) with Affinity Photo apparently I depend on looking for descriptive names in the Pictures folder?
Does the Affinity suite support finding afphoto files in ways we normally search such as key words or a date sort?
I do simple "publishing" sort of work (see attached). Maybe I will find greater happiness with your Publisher and will explore this.
