Jakerlund Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi, I know it's Bleed is in the roadmap but it's a feature i really need to do PDF's for print where they demand lets say an A5 with 5mm bleed. Their system don't like me to just add 10mm in witdh/height to the domument. A Preview mode (show with/without bleed and guides) is also highly requested. A button switching between normal and preview mode would be so helpful. So i'd like to bump those up the priority list if possible. Cheers to all your great work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 We're planning this relatively soon. Now we have PDF/X, we want to complete the other main pro-print options so we have a complete set; this should include Pantone and bleed.

Jakerlund Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Ah that's fantastic Dave :) Any plans for a Preview mode? It would be such a great helper when working. Hide/reveal all bleeds, margins and guides with a button to see and work on the clean design view. Cheers / Johny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyXTM Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 For professional work I also need bleed, overprint preview and Pantone. And similar panel as Illustrator to export to pdf. In this panel - color conversion, destination and profile policy, printer marks. I check my work - Photoshop and Illustrator file - both open in Affinity, export as psd and pdf and again open i Adobe. You're very close to change platform. Me and many graphics designers still work in Adobe cs6 - without subscription. Cheers / Tommy Brian D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barksley Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Glad to see you guys are working on bleed and Pantone support. I just bought Designer and Photo, and those were the first things I checked on. Hope it comes with full spot-ink support (haven't checked on that one yet). I said this in another post, but I would love to beta test for you guys. I have beta tested in the past for Adobe, Quark, and Aldus, and have been doing pro graphic design and prepress for 30+ years. This market desperately needs some new blood, and these apps you have developed look like winners so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
