DJR Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I recently purchased the three Affinity tools, and after installing them on my computer, when I open the programme, only the "person" of the programme I have opened appears in the top left-hand corner of the interface. I think that the three "persons" should appear next to each other, as I have seen from other users. So in order to use each of the tools, I have to open each interface independently, and I would like to know what I should do to solve this. Thanks, best regards.

walt.farrell Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @DJR. What you expect is the way that Publisher works, as part of its StudioLink feature. This gives you access, in Publisher, to the Photo Persona of the Photo application, and the Designer Persona of the Designer application. It does not give access to the other Personas of either application. Photo and Designer do not have the StudioLink feature, and they provide access only to their own set of Personas. What you are seeing is normal and correct.

Komatös Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Only Publisher has all three personas. Designer has the Designer and Pixel personas. Affinity Photo only has the Photo persona as a programme persona. Screenshots of the menu areas of all three programmes could be helpful.

DJR Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Hace 15 minutos, walt.farrell dijo: Bienvenido a los foros de Serif Affinity, @DJR. Lo que esperas es la forma en que funciona Publisher, como parte de su función StudioLink. Esto le da acceso, en Publisher, a la persona Photo de la aplicación Photo y a la persona Designer de la aplicación Designer. No da acceso a las otras Personas de ninguna de las aplicaciones. Photo y Designer no tienen la función StudioLink y solo brindan acceso a su propio conjunto de Personas. Lo que estás viendo es normal y correcto. Entonces, cuando abro Designer o Photo, ¿solo debería aparecer la persona de la herramienta que abro? Y si necesito trabajar con Designer y Photo al mismo tiempo, ¿cómo debo hacerlo? Gracias por la ayuda, soy nuevo en el uso del programa y no lo conozco... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 You can run both applications (Photo, Designer) at the same time, and if you're in, say, Photo and you need a function that's only available in Designer, you can use File > Edit in Designer to send the file to the Designer application from Photo. Or, you could work in Publisher, which gives you the main Personas of both Photo and Designer, and only use File > Edit in if you need one of the other application Personas that Publisher doesn't provide.
