Glad you found a solution, but don't write Affinity Publisher off. Just a thought but you invested in Affinity, so why not invest some time learning it while you use other solutions.

I need a book or a calendar one time to time I am not an editor, a software needs templates for using it directly and easily And advanced feature for pro or advanced users

Affinity Publisher is not there at all ,  I'm going back to Adobe after having been in the very first affinity users  ... and Affinity has no Lightroom replacement

i stop following this topic

 

thanks to all

problem solved 

id it  with blurb in Lightroom in 10 minutes 

 

[[SOLVED] affinity publisher wtf ? thanks to Lightroom]

I used indesign without any problem would you say that indesign is not pro ?

nearly all Affinity users went from Adobe , but Affinity is nearly like  the Gimp ,  cheap but a mess to use

(Or try the yellow pages)
Good luck with your phonebook.

as I said the manual should be used only for details or very special features, if it is impossible to create a simple book directly without any manual then the software  is not good

3 months to achieve the learning curve !!! use pixum  it  takes one hour

Question 1,2,3: read the manual.
Question 4: no.

reading manual means that it is not intuitive at all, even for indesign I could  manage it at once without any manual

no template means  it sucks much more than I thought 

 

thanks

You should go play somewhere else, I asked a question and if anyone knows the answer thanks

apparently it's not you

You should have a nice glass of wine and calm down. ?

bye

[[SOLVED] affinity publisher wtf ? thanks to Lightroom]

photobook of course  (auto correction sucks)

you are right the workflow is intuitive nearly everywhere but not with affinity

I bought all affinity  software when adobe went for subscription and now I bought a year subscription again for adobe because affinity is not there at all

[[SOLVED] affinity publisher wtf ? thanks to Lightroom]

I am trying to create a phonebook with affinity publish V2 on Mac ,  have already done a few books with pixum , Saal-digital, blurb, they are all intuitive and easy to use

If I try a photobook with affinity it is a mess to use, where is the cover ?  where are the pages  ? how can I add directly 100 pages ?

how  can it be less intuitive to use 

is there any A3 book template to download ?

thanks

Here we go with the misinformation again.

take a png and convert it into WEBP JPG JXL AVIF and you will see by your own, even with more. compression JXL is heavier 

and stop talking nonsense

[Affinity Photo 2: AVIF Support??]

there is nothing wrong to do , converting is easy, avif is definitively the best format, i have tried all kind of compression s and AVIF is always better

[Affinity Photo 2: AVIF Support??]

Please check real tests and comparisons before posting misinformation.

I have converted about 250 png (many times different settings)  into , JPG ,AVIF, WEBP JXL , JXL is definitely not interesting fo internet even with more compression it's much more heavy than AVIF 

before opening your mouth do your own tests

[Affinity Photo 2: AVIF Support??]

Why is JXL supported and not AVIF ?

JXL is 2 or 3 times heavier than AVIF

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.216 - GM Seed)]

as I said I am in the very first users , and bought always at once their new products for osx and ipad

for sure i was already registered but I cannot remember

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.216 - GM Seed)]

I am maybe already registered as Ive got  the very first version of affinity , it was the first beta I think, but impossible to remember with which email

new registration done

 

thanks

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.216 - GM Seed)]

the 1.9 will come in the app store, i can wait 

thank you

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.216 - GM Seed)]

ok thanks
then Ill wait for the official 1.9 version on apple store , i dont want to make things more complicated with 2 licences for the same product

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.216 - GM Seed)]

I bought all from Apple Store, Id like to find my licence , i have already one  (5 : 3 for mac and 2 for ipad)

isnt it the same ? a licence is a license

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.216 - GM Seed)]

I have already a registered product Affinity photo , designer and publisher 

when I install photo 1.9 beta I am ask to register my account  , where do i find it if Ive got Affinity on the apple store ?

[macro for resizing and save somewhere else]

batch , macro, export persona  ...
Thanks to all

I give up
be back in 5 years

[macro for resizing and save somewhere else]

Everybody who makes pictures for websites needs several dimensions, it's a very basic task.
If Affinity Photo can't do it with a macro  in a simple way, it means Affinity is not a Professional tool.
I paid for nothing. 

[macro for resizing and save somewhere else]

Affinity is not ready ... too many things are missing

[macro for resizing and save somewhere else]

Thanks carl
I find this very complicated for  a basic task but ill give it a try

[macro for resizing and save somewhere else]

thank you but can you save and run later the batch  for  all the photos in a folder, I do that job very  often and I want to run this automaticly

and I dont find the way to generate 3 files from the original one and export them in 3 different folders , or rename them differently : file-1x.jpg,  file-2x.jpg,  file-3x.jpg,
