The interesting thing about Affinity's file format is that it uses the same files across the different apps in the suite. This means that any projects I make with Designer I will probably be able to open in Publisher. I have heard that CS6 doesn't work on the new Sierra so maybe I will just stay with Affinity alone when upgrading to Sierra on my Mac. Perhaps I will keep my desktop on El Capitan so I can run Adobe. Maybe later versions of Sierra will run CS6?

lol! Schedule

@krollian Yes, Freehand worked pretty well for putting objects inside of other objects, much easier then illustrator. @retrograde Now I understand what you meant by distort. I don't use that kind of effect too much so it shouldn't be a problem. @Petar_MK Extra emphasis on the word "some" in that sentence. I realize that if I want to do some layout work such as book layouts I will have to resort to using InDesign on my other computer. Can't wait for Affinity Publisher to come out!

@retrograde I don't distort type as my graphic design instructors were upset with the students that did that! @bleduc The UI features is something Serif has been trying to push. I was thinking more about replacing some of my InDesign jobs with Affinity. Frames is another thing I thought about how I would replace with Affinity. I use frames for cropping photos like this for an example. I don't immediately remember how you do that with Affinity, seems like you use a layer mask?Schedule

When I looked at some of the typography features it seems similar to what you might use with InDesign. I haven't thought of a short coming to this kind of workflow yet.

I do a lot of basic layout work like mailers and such and was wondering how well Designer works in this area. I used to use Freehand as a layout tool way back and found that it actually sometimes worked better then PageMaker which was a real layout program. My laptop is currently Adobe free and I am considering the possibility of keeping it that way.

ScheduleR C-R Can I make "scale with object" to be the default so I don't have to select it each time?

Tagging doesn't work for me even if I save a file that I created in Affinity to begin with. I really wish Affinity would have the standard Mac functions like tagging, file duplication (from inside of the app), file renaming from the title bar, etc. I think before Serif goes on to make an Affinity a Windows program they should first make their Mac apps work like Mac apps.

Not for me it didn't. For me nothing happened at all.

Too big! There wasn't a note about maximum file size so I didn't try to downscale far enough. It might be helpful tell people about the file size limit when they upload. Thanks for the help.

I took down my old profile pic and tried uploading a new one but nothing happened. Is this a bug?

By the way I should mention that this isn't my primary machine. I am not trying to do all my work on my MacBook. I am sure there is some heavy duty graphics work that would bring it to it's knees.

With Affinity I mainly do vector. My photography setup with is mostly with Lightroom since I need the cataloging and batch processing features.

I just bought one of the new MacBooks and Affinity works great! In fact canvas rotation works MUCH better. I still don't get smooth 360º canvas rotation on my other computer with my Wacom Tablet. So far only Apple's track pad gives me that.

Exporting to another format is what I have been doing at the moment. Having just one version of the file would be preferable but maybe it's not possible to make a plugin that can do that.

El Capitan works great! LOTS of bug fixes from Yosemite!!

Is there some kind of plugin that would allow me to do this?

Your welcome. I just upgraded to El Capitan so the Photos extensions are new to me.

I tried it with and without split view and I only appear to get the message with split view.

I think so.

Here is an error I got when I tried to apply Affinity develop adjustments in Photos. It did a good job editing the photo but just had problems saving the changes.

Ok good. I have heard some mixed reviews on how well it worked so it helps to get a lot of confirmation from others. I just noticed 10.11.2 came out this morning so it looks like it might be a good time to update. I am downloading it now.

I know that a lot of people here are using the CS6 Suite on Mac so I wanted to ask if anyone is using it on El Capitan?

I noticed this in the new beta: - Improved canvas rotation detection logic (to avoid accidentally rotating while zooming).

BTW my specs are Wacom 5 and Wacom Pro on a 2012 Mini.
