JT_Allen Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Definitely eager to see the APub Beta. I would definitely want to not have to rely on Adobe Subscription Software. Adobe has outsourced way too freaking much of their business. The Serif crew work together like an actual team. Adobe staff compete with each other causing all manner of irritation. Thank you Serif for creating a trio of true competitors to the Adobe majority monopoly. As a freelancer I will definitely have more control over which software I use. Your software is a very warm welcome, especially for me starting out and building my artistic skills with digital painting and creating. If any one asks, no I do not have a portfolio of work to share (yet!). I am using the free time I have to build up my concept art/illustration skills so I could (in say 2 - 3 years) start going full time in the creative field.

Only marginally better than today’s stats (12°C/54°C with a 98% chance of rain). But it always rain in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are probably not many days in the year when it isn’t raining somewhere in the UK, but less than 15°C is hardly what I would call summer weather, even in this cold and rainy country!

That includes my posts and this one of yours You can be sure if there is more information they will pin it to the top or start a new beta forum So you can just ignore the rest or jump in and have some fun SrPx 1 Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I am really looking forward to this. I have a lot of art I want to bring to the world, but the best way to do it is not easy to figure out. I decided that I want start by publishing books and sell on sites like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. And now seeing that this product is coming close to launch, it makes me feel happy knowing that I will now have a better way to organize and work. The Affinity products have really put a boost on my workflow and helped me to actually want to work towards getting my art out there.

Gilescooperuk Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It is nowhere near summer in the uk, just been out in my kit car today I think the hottest it got was 5C (I am about 40 miles from Serif). The forecast for tomorrow is worse.... Back on topic, let’s have a simple v1 app which is stable and worry about the fancy bits later.

lowerider Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I was an early adopter of Affinity Photo (APhot) and Affinity Designer (ADsgn). I've completely moved my stock photo image processing to APhot. Although most of my vector work is now done in ADsgn, I still use DrawPlus X8 for functions still not present in ADsgn—such as warp mesh. The main aspect of my freelance work, however, is document design and page layout. PagePlus X9 continues to be my workhorse in this area until Affinity Publisher (APub) arrives. How would I go about becoming a beta tester for APub? I recently finished designing and typesetting a book for a client in PagePlus X9. I'm thinking that I could use the photos, illustrations, and copy from this project in recreating the book design in APub. Thanks for two great apps in APhot & ADsgn. And thanks in advance for working on getting APub out of the gate. -- Lowe What I do: Document design/typesetting; Stock photo images; Digital art | Apps I use: Publisher, Photo, Designer | My PC: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U; 16.0GB RAM; Win 10 Home (21H2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it will be a process similar to beta tests for AD and APh. There was an announcement page with the option to register via email. Keep your eyes open for anouncements here in the forum and as you are already an Affinity user you most likely will receive an email notification of some kind. d.
