Most professionals will do a manual trace for logo's as it yields best results. I can image It might save time but with relatively complex logo's doing it yourself is always better then any trace program.

Footnotes/Endnotes
Tourmaline replied to garrettm30's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
I am quite sure we will see the light of footnotes/end notes. But I presume stability fixes have priority at the moment. A version 1.8 or 1.9 might see foot/end notes. -
I've got thousands of fonts but never experience any problems with Suitcase Fusion. Auto font activation is nice to have.

It has been requested for many times over and over and it will probably be included in a version 2.0 Serif stated that they will only include this function if it works the way they think it should work, as in effective tracing. For now you can use the tracing engine of Inkscape. It's quite good.

Not only books, also a lot of magazines are made with DTP programs. And they don't need that feature. -

Tourmaline replied to Joachim_L's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
Would like support for the Astute Graphics line of plug-ins! They enhance Illustrator greatly. -

Drop caps feature suggestion
Tourmaline replied to Stephen Hunt's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Use the A (artistic text tool) and type in 1. Use the Drop cap on the 1. Artisitc tool 5 and drop cap and artictic tool 0 Drop cap, all same size. With alignment you can align the way you like. All 3 digits same size. You can group them. -
Acrobat Alternative?
Tourmaline replied to rnmartinez's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Unfortunately there's only one really good in converting Word documents and that is Acrobat Pro. If you need that feature don't waste time trying others, they all are not as good as Acrobat Pro. Tried them all, was very disappointed no one came close. Tried them on a variety of documents and all had their problems. At least, those were my findings. YMMV. -
Problem with using two monitors
Tourmaline replied to Jaffa's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Couple the panels on the right. then you can open them in the panel bar and shouldn't cause problems. If you drags panels out of the panels bar then this might happen. -
Affinity file format support on XnView
Tourmaline replied to ashf's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Yes, it's a bit strange. Afdesign and afphoto do work but afpub doesn't show up. It should work since all 3 extension are completely the same. -
Beta updates STILL failing
Tourmaline replied to Rick G's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on Windows threads
I've installed all alpha's, beta's and retail versions without any problems at all. Full versions and updates. -
I don't see the problem either. If you did some research you would know how it works but instead uses the term misleading for his lack of research... I've been here from the beginning on this forum and I can't recall Serif made any promises or assumptions that all features of Designer or Photo would work. As I stated before, you can't cram in all features from 3 apps into one application. That's why Photoshop for instance has some new features and loses some others...There is a limit you can put in a UI... @Peter Petrenko, They could do that, yes. Calling it Publisher light...

They still have full integration, with edit in....It's a roundtrip to either of the two apps but you can go back and forth as you like. The tools in Publisher are basic, so you can do all the edits you like either being basic or expert. As Haakoo also suggested. Full integration would mean no need for the stand alone versions, or if you interpret it differently all features used in the stand alone apps. There is only so much room for menu's etc in an app so combining all 3 into one app would mean sacrifises, wich expert don't want, they need the extended set of features in the stand alone apps. Studiolink is far from being a dissapointment to me and a lot of other users... You have the power of basic edits at your fingertips or extended features of each app with edit in...best of both worlds. I think the words very dissapointing is a bit harsh...Studiolink offers way more then any competition.

Best tool would still be Acrobat Pro...
