Affinity Photo

[Myzlopez]

I just purchased affinity photo yesterday. Can I use it to create a book cover or should I return it and purchase affinity publisher instead?

Hi @Myzlopez!

 

Affinity Photo is primarily an image editor. If you want to create print products, Affinity Publisher is a page layout program and may be better suited to your needs.

As suggested in another thread in the forum, for book covers you might also like to consider Affinity Designer (just to add to your confusion!)  🤔

Thank you guys I appreciate the help and suggestions.

Instead of purchasing either Affinity Designer or Affinity Publisher straight away, you might like to download and install the trial version of either one. Having used the trial for a maximum of ten consecutive days, you can download and install the other one and try it for a further ten days; because of the shared file format, you will be able to open any previously saved files and do further work in them.

To answer your question: Yes, you can layout the book cover in APhoto and export a proper print file – but the layout process may be more comfortable in AD, and especially APub, which offers features for more efficient workflows that APh and AD don't.
