droddy386 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Well — We are all looking forward to the coming release of Publisher. That will round out the publishing apps on the iPad. Affinity: Publisher, Designer, Photo Some others: Concepts - great for brainstorming - has an endless canvas Clip Studio Paint - combine photoshop, corel painter, and illustrator into one (best brushes and rulers/guides on the planet)- well worth the price - as long as it stays < $99 for the year. (Can use and sync it on all platforms) uMake - was cool for the sketching part, but the rest with rendering is just dumb and way way way overpriced now.

Matt Johnston Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 This week would be great for the release of Publisher as I'm travelling at the same time as trying to finish a book and I can't bring my Mac with me, just the iPad. So....come on folks....just squeeze it out before Thursday ....you can do it! Guoccamolé and iuli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikikuru Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I just don’t understand why Serif have been so silent on this! I actually think it’s a little disrespectful to a loyal fan base! For such a long time they have given us absolutely nothing! I don’t see why all the silence / secrecy. I’m sorry but it just can’t be that bigger deal to at least bring your customer base along on a journey with you! Does not need to be specifics, anything would have been great. Many companies do this and likely foster much more gratitude amongst there customers! David B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So… summer might not mean what we thought it meant. Technically it starts June 21st and ends Sept 22nd. So a while to go.

iuli Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Seems that iPadOS16 will come packed with new wibbly wobbly timey wimey multitasking stuff https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/02/ipados-16-features-pro-users/ and we also know that StudioLink is coming to the iPad, along with Affinity Publisher. So a 100% wild guess, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see StudioLink featured in Apple's unveiling of its new multitasking modes; after all, Apple liked Publisher so much that it ‘leaked’ it for the first time with the iPad Air presentation Patrick Connor 1 StudioLink 256gb 11’ M1 iPad Pro iPadOS 17 Public Beta 1 iPad Magic Keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorCat Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Last night, I wandered over to the Serif / Affinity home page and saw - new to me - an announcement that Pubisher for iPad is “Coming Soon.” This to me is as solid an indication as could be. It’s been hard to wait for this because Affinity tools are so freakin’ good. There’s just no other way to say it. The wait will prove worthwhile, as sure as water is wet.

Matt Johnston Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Serif haven’t made any declarations about what hardware will Be needed to run Publisher so we wait. Stage Manager though is the multitasking paradigm that I’ve written about for years. The idea of pushing apps into a background while they’re still visible and promoting only the ones you’re looking for. Awesome. External display support is awesome too. I was using it last night. It’s not as feature complete as it would be on the Mac but then iPad is just still catching up The big deal for this is the 8 apps onscreen with high RAM requirements and the possibility of the internal SSD being used for virtual memory storage. This is a big deal as it vastly increases the RAM available. It’s the sort of thing that would allow multiple apps to stay in memory (needed for studiolink) because the memory handler in IOS is super aggressive.

Matt Johnston Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 @iuli You're shouting at the clouds, man. Serif haven't said it's only going to be on M1. They also haven't said that Studiolink is based on Stage Manager. And if they do say it's only M1, then it's because they want an excellent experience and not just "well, it runs". You're also not understanding the memory management model on IOS which is very different to the way it works on Windows or even MacOS. I mean, with IOS16, we just got virtual memory. That's a big deal for a lot of reasons. The memory manager on IOS is super hyper aggressive as it was designed to manage memory on memory limited devices. If you don't grok that your 4GB PC also had swap space and virtual memory so it was likely a 12GB device according to the software, then you're not really grasping how the systems work. The system heaps can also be different. Additionally. I don't want to run anything on a 4GB PC. I want something that sings. What you're essentially saying is that because MacOS used to run in 128K of RAM, you should be able to run different software in different RAM on a different processor. I'm not defending Apple, I'm explaining the system I'm not defending Serif, they haven't said anything that needs defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
