Hello, Bonjour,

My name is Yves Michel and I live on the Belgian coast. I'm new at Affinity. I once tried version 1 (I think) and was not entirely satisfied.

A friend recently recommended Affinity and I was lucky to find and use the new trial period of 6 months.

And happy with the numerous enhancements, specially regarding OpenType features. As a type designer using Fontlab 8, I was not happy with Paint Shop Pro 2023, as some features, like kerning for instance, were not supported. After a few trial and errors, I quickly realised Affinity was easier to use, quicker and full of functions. And in French, s'il vous plaît!

So, I'm very happy with it, even if I can't put an avatar on this forum. 😄

It won't take too long before I switch to the paid version.

Pardon my poor English, I'm a French native speaker.

Hello, my name is Rosie and I work on an iMac...it recently updated and now I no longer get previews on any of my Affinity doc thumbnails...for all three programs within Affinity.  I've tried everything regarding re-establishing previews thru the "views" on tool bar, but it doesn't stay clicked.  I'm a graphic artist (all be it an old one) and have of course hundreds of docs I work with...I've subconciously memorized exactly what's in most of my files by the preview on the thumbnail and now they're ALL GONE!  OMG, fishing thru them all by having to open each one separately is killing me...is there a fix for this?????  Please say yes!!!!  HELP!!!

Hello:

I'm Marilyn and I'm pleased to join and start using Affinity Publisher.
I am using it for a magazine that I have used InDesign for publishing it previously.

I would like to know if there are any free magazine templates or trial templates for Affinity Publisher as I want to try something new.

 

Thanks
Marilyn Zink

Welcome to the forums @Marilyn Zink

If you open Publisher and use menu “Help → My Account”, and then click on the Samples icon you will see various samples which you can download and experiment with – see attached image.

You cannot Save (or Save As) the samples but you can edit them to see how they are constructed.

There are other templates, and links to websites with templates, in the Resources section of these forums.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask them in the Questions section of the forums.

Hi, I'm ConnieM.

Ive had designer & photo for a couple of years but, truth be told, I've used it very little.  I've only used it to set up pngs for my Cricut & Sublimation projetcs.  I just got a new laptop & have installed them along with Dreamography brushes by Felix.(haven't tried yet)

I also had Ink stamp textures by MiksKS (also haven't tried. Do I really want them?) but haven't found where I can get them again for my new install. Any assist is greatly appreciated. Oh my, just noticed I also had Fine liner brushes by Artfex forge, & textures, Spray paint textures, Paint roller textures too!

Thanks in advance

Hello,

My name's Yuriy, I'm one of the developers at FontBase. Recently joined for several reasons: curiousity, hope of finding a way to make FontBase's font auto-activation features work with Affinity products, and general desire to help, especially those who use Affinity products in conjunction with FontBase:)

You have a great community here🙏
Hope to be of help,
Yuriy
