Zox Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A PDF User guide for Affinity Photo and Affinity Design, IMHO, would be really appreciated! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooslow Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Or a book (for Photo) that I can buy. I see that Amazon has a handful but they're in German. Ich sprecht nicht Deutsch. (I think that proves the point!). :) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2016 A physical book for Photo is being written, with contributions from external professionals, like the Designer Workbook. We don't have a PDF user guide at the moment. Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Irvin Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A physical book for Photo is being written, with contributions from external professionals, like the Designer Workbook. We don't have a PDF user guide at the moment. What about an E-book edition that people can download (buy) and read on their phone or tablet? That's more practical nowadays than a physical book. I wanted to buy the AD book, but only in e-book format to read on my iPad. Ebooks have largely replaced physical books because they are much cheaper and easier to correct/maintain.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2016 We understand that users would like a downloadable user guide. The Workbook is not that. It is designed to be a high quality physical object. Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

forsakenlight Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 "high quality physical object" Like all iStuff from some company with a fruit in their name ;) Guys just put your workbooks in the PDF or Amazon Kindle and sell them with profit and with your customers gratitude :) After all you are now not only in "the high quality iObjects world", you are in the Windows world too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zox Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 We understand that users would like a downloadable user guide. The Workbook is not that. It is designed to be a high quality physical object. It's Surely a good book! Maybe I will buy it! But I think it's just in English only! I believe, also a simple PDF updated User Manual (in all languages) it useful too, and easy readable in every device. Just do a PDF version from the AD/AP help.

Ludgateman Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Personally I would prefer a quality printed book / manual to a PDF. PDF is fine as an accompaniment, but not as a sole source of info. Tooslow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooslow Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm with Ludgateman, a physical book please. I can sit and relax and browse it and discover features I didn't know existed, I can stick post-its in pages and use it for reference while I'm doing some editing on the screen without the distraction of using half a window or bouncing from one to t'other. I can flip instantly from one page to another some many pages away and the image quality (an important feature in a photo editing book) will be top notch.

Zox Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 HI all, I Love books and of course the printed book "Affinity Designer Workbook" is fine! And I hope also in a Print book of Affinity Photo. But like I can see from the info I suppose the Book, is more "Workflow oriented" and It is only available in English! I'm talking about the user's guide supplied with AD and AP that is in HTML format only. IMHO also a simple localized PDF version (also in low res quality) of same user guide, for AD and AP, would be easy to handle.
