Gianni Becattini Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I am the one who started this topic, so I cannot be suspected of ...connivance with the enemy 😁 I had a long experience with FrameMaker and some with Indesign and Photoshop and had some endless fights with Adobe. Their products also are not flawless and their support is simply a joke. In addition, I have several paid licenses that I cannot any longer use. I had no serious answers from them... simply they don't register anymore and eventually I gave up. All that to say that Affinity has its (many) problems, first of all APub stability. Recently things are getting better and I no longer regret having used it instead of the Adobe suite (which I still pay). IMHO, however, the best part of Affinity is this forum. Used to the Adobe support ("Did you remember switching on your computer? Many people forget its... Oh yes, it's on, but you must ask Apple, not us..."), here I can find competent people, very quick answering and trying to find real solutions together, without any politically correct attitude. In the end, beside reasonably good products and a fair pricing policy, for me this forum is the best reason to continue using the Affinity suite. Don't underevaluate it, it's a true difference.

mrmacpherson Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Hi I'm a part-time designer but do professional jobs, books, CDs etc and really enjoying using the Affinity series vs Adobe, especially as I like the pricing structure against the expensive Adobe system. But any chance Serif people you could fix the select bug in Publisher? It's really annoying having to change to pixel state and back to see what you have selected. And yes we really need to be able to export our files into printers pairs not readers. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate with regard to this, what is the bug you are referring to... 21 hours ago, mrmacpherson said: And yes we really need to be able to export our files into printers pairs not readers. This would normally be the job of the commercial printer but if you have a need to produce printers pairs for your own benefit, while this isn't an export option, there are a couple of possible workarounds (which may or may not be helpful, depending on your requirements)...
