Hi.

I used to work in Photoshop and Indesign in a past life as a journalist. I’m now a self-employed gardener and can’t afford Adobe licenses, especially as I am only designing my own leaflets, Facebook headers etc. Three questions, please:

- should I look at Photo and Publisher as the closest to the two packages I used before? I assume Designer is more like Illustrator?

- Would I be able to import any of my old InDesign files to re-work in Publisher?

- Will Photo and Publisher work on my old MacBook running Sierra OS?

Hope you can help. Thanks.

Yes. And yes.

Publisher can open IDML files but it can’t open INDD files.

The Mac versions of the Affinity apps will run on 10.9 Mavericks or later, so they should work OK on 10.12 Sierra. Follow the links below for free trials:

https://affin.co/publishertrial

Each trial lasts for ten days, with the trial clock running continuously from the moment you first launch the app, so it’s best to complete one trial before switching to the other. Thanks to the shared file format, any files saved during the first trial can be opened and edited further during the second one.

They run on my old MacBook which is running 10.12.6

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
