It shows Designer and Photo previews but NOT Publisher previews... I have all 3 working in Windows 10 explorer though.

2 million users now. A specific keyboard for Affinity line of products would be welcome only if they make it a mechanical one. These are way better then any cheap keyboard.

Adobe killed that one off just fine...

This is an option available in Microsoft Visio as well. You can set the scale/factor and draw schematics. Defenately a Designer function.

This link: Live should work for the live Affinity Publisher launch...

See Patrick's comment above...

Log in to your serif account and go to downloads and license keys. here you'll find the downalods and if need be the registration keys. Also the fonts etc. to download.

Congratulations Serif on launching Affinity Publisher! The Studiolink works great. For people using the beta's. For the Studiolink to work you must install the retail versions from your download page, then the link works.

It should be available in your serif account. That is, for Windows.

Installed without a problem.

The buttons for Designer and Photo will ONLY work in the release version of Publisher and with officially purchased copies of Designer and Photo and with CUSTOMER beta's. It will NOT work in PUBLIC beta's... Quote from Patrick Connor: "be aware I said customer betas, those released after we launch to preview fixes and more new features. The PUBLIC betas 1.7.0.376 won't ever show those personas, indeed it will stop working."

FC1? RC1, means release candidate 1... Software installed without a problem. Can start Publisher up without any problem.

Ok, thanks. I own all 3 so no problem. Can't wait till 19th...I allready pre-ordered Affinity Publisher... Installation went smooth, by the way...No problems.

On the 19th of june, wich is the official release date of Affinity Publisher...

In EDIT-PREFERENCES-KEYBOARDshortcuts you can alter the shortcuts the way you like, like the ones you're used to in Photoshop. In VIEW-CUSTOMIZE TOOLS you can customize the tools the way you like. In CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR you can customize the UI as you want it to be. In VIEW-STUDIO you can check wich tabs you want to see on your monitor and arrange them the way you like. So, Affinity Photo is highly customizable.

You can't make Affinity look exactly like Photoshop. Some shortcuts are allready the same as Photoshop's. It alsways takes some time to invest in a new program. By the way, all shortcuts are fully customizable...

Thanks for the beta tester special discount. I allready pre-ordered Affinity Publisher.

Thanks for the heads up. It seems I misses this one. I allready pre-ordered Affinity Publisher.

I'd like to see a Publisher feature roadmap so we can see what features will be included, like footnotes/endnotes etc. Just like the ones Serif has done with Photo and Designer.

I know that internally they are the same, just different format names.

afpub, afdesign and afphoto. 3 different format names.

Install a SSD drive into your computer, upgrade your cpu and/or upgrade your memory to at least 8GB or better 16/32GB. Cleaning up Windows might help as well but won't gain that much. Hardware will improve speed much more.

Could have something to do with the Photo persona?

Confirmed. It's fixed.

I can't replicate this. See screenshot.
