DeBorahBeatty Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 When Publisher is released, will it be a separate purchase? If I buy the Designer, can't I do some of the DTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @DeBorahBeatty. Affinity Publisher will indeed be a separate purchase, just like Designer and Photo, and it will include some features such as linked text frames which Serif apparently don’t plan to add to the other apps in the suite. However, we will be able to edit APub documents in Designer (or Photo).

Nice to read the last line. Serif is really creating something unique here. Will all 3 have the same file extension? Are we going to see more file format in the export box?

They fon't have the same File extension but it's indeed the same File Format.That was one of their goals; their criteria was, since the beginning: Lightning fast - in particular taking advantage of all latest CPU and GPU chipsets available Cover the core disciplines of photo editing, vector drawing and desktop publishing Use exactly the same file format between applications Have no bloat - utilize a concept of personas to organize the UI into different use cases Be unashamedly pro - core requirements like CMYK and 16 bit would be built in from the start and not allow wizards or anything else get in the way of a pro workflow 43 minutes ago, Arnaud Mez said: Are we going to see more file format in the export box? We hope so! There are some requests about this point. Best regards!

R C-R Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Regarding the file format, I would not be surprised if it needs to be updated to support the new features Publisher adds to the mix, but if so I am fairly sure Affinity Photo & Affinity Designer will be updated to support the updated format. The file format was updated once before to support certain new text features, making some files saved in the updated format un-openable in the older versions of Photo & Designer. Regarding the extensions, they just define the default app that opens the document if you double-click it. But since the format is the same, you can change the extension from .afphoto to .afdesign or visa versa without causing any issues.
