freischwimmer Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 by now i used the programms from print-service when i created my own photo books. In order to to get rif of the dependency print-service - programm i am looking for a stand alone programm for creating die pages and let them print where i want. I wonder if this can solely be achieved with affinity photo or if you would recommend to use affinity designer. Key features are following: The images should be "imported" by links respectively it should only be referenced - so if i change the image in Lightroom and export it to the same folder with the same name it should change in the software. i need to resize the photos at every state - in the photoshop world this can be done with smart objects (as far as i know). Is there a feature in affinity like this? do you have recommendations how to create your own photo book with affinity tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixx Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Would it not be easiest to make the book within Lightroom? See http://petapixel.com/2015/09/28/how-to-create-a-photo-book-in-lightroom-and-send-it-to-print/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freischwimmer Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 lightroom phot books are great as far as you don´t wan´t your own layout. Adding a photo (cell) or remove one isn´t possible in the given design. In the print module you can´t specify the image section if you don´t use the image origianl aspect ratio. So you´re somehow locked to the given layouts.The import by reference is no show stopper for me, but the losless resizing. Is it possible in affinity Photo?

Fixx Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 You would need a page layout app. There is not such thing yet in Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
