I avoid bitmap apps as much as I can. Only if there is something that it can't be done in vector or layout app. And if their is no special need for vector effects or so, I prefer to choose a layout app. Which one it will be (Quark or ID) it depends on what should be done. I prefer Quark because I can do a lot of easy bitmap manipulations vs ID which can't vectorize its own PDF files and can't even manipulate with PSD layers.

Sorry if I offend it anyhow. It was not my intention. I said that about InDesign and Quark because I have 25+ years of experience in this field. I've tried and own a lot of apps, but I found that using only one app for my job is much better then switching from one to another.

I can see a need for a true page layout program to make books and stuff. AD will never be easily able to handle that, nor should it. Pagination is much more important there. But It is annoying to have to design a pamphlet or trifold with text that flows using a book/magazine layout program. IT is much better suited to AD and having threaded text boxes can make the design workflow much more accurate and enjoyable.
I wouldn't worry about making the serif guys angry Petar. A few of them love to say things to make their users angry. I have never seen such behavior from staff in a forum before. They can be pretty surly.
You are wrong about this Buck. I've made hundreds of trifold brochures and other advertising materials and I asure you that it is breeze to do it in InDesign or Quark.
About the second part:
They got angry because I am convinced that having one app is much better the 3 separated... but they said (and a lot of users) it was out of question. So, I don't want to push this any more. Let's see what the future will bring to us. Maybe it would be better to make a poll on their FB page to see what users wants more -- swiss knife or separated apps.

Most users want all tools in one app because they don't like to swap apps. They want to work quick and efficient. They don't want to ask themselves: "Oh, were was this tool -- in Photo, Publisher or ...". You can say this if you read the comments, feature requests. All of them want some specific feature to be in the app they are used to work with, because it was there in the app from a different vendor they owned. Adobe goes this way. They started long time ago to include features from AI <-> PS <-> ID.
I will stop here because I already repeat myself and don't want to make the Affinity team angry because of my way of thinking.

It looks like that all 3 apps will have the same features.
-
If they add this feature to Designer (and Photo) then what will be the difference between them and Publisher? There would be no need of it.
-
But it would be much better if "Step and Repeat" works like in InDesign.
-
My advice is to keep both apps and buy the Publisher when it comes out. They will be a good trio.

The best solution:
1. Open a new document with the size and resolution you need,
2. Import and resize the picture(s),
3. Save/export the document to the desired format.
-
The best advice: try to avoid flash as much as possible.

Udemy is cycling its prices. If you are patient you can buy a course for $10.

Another nice format is JPG2000, but it is not supported by most vendors. It has better compression than JPG and it is losless.
-
You should use the native format of the software you use: Photoshop = PSD (TIFF), Affinity Photo = afphoto, ...

Thanks Patrick, but I don't understand the meaning of HKLM, HKCU.

Hi,
when unistalling the apps are registry entries removed also, or not? It would be nice if they are.
-
Hi,
Instead of Copy/Paste the list of fixes from Designer (Beta) into Photo (Beta), I think it would be much clearer to wirte "Same as in Designer (Beta) + ... (list of fixes only in Photo (Beta)).
-
This feature will be introduced in Affinity Publisher.
-
OK. It will do the job until "Page Curl" feature is added to Photo and "Mesh Warp Tool" is redone.

But that's what you want. You want the Warp tool to display the image from the other side of the canvas.
I only add, that in order for it to be done correctly, the material and transparency of the canvas must be defined.
Your example is correct only for a transparent foil. Standard paper should be white, double-sided printed paper with the same image should be show mirror-turned portion, ...
NO. I just want the page to be folded like Photoshop did. I will take care for the rest.

But this is a deformation of the "canvas", not the output.
Well, you can always use your imagination and change it. I hope you don't expect the app to do all your jobs by itself?

Example from Photoshop is impressive, but totally unrealistic.
Only if the material and the transparency of the canvas was defined, because I would have imagined that from behind would be visible white paper :-)
Why? You always print only on one page?
Some ideas about managing PDF documents

Hi,
when opening a PDF document a dialog window appears which offers to:
It would be nice if it offers to open/import a page range like in Print dialog window (1-3, 7, 35-64). But, this option could be separated in two parts -- Relative and Absolute.
Lets say we have 10 pages PDF document and we want to load only this range: 2-4, 6, 8-9.
