iMatt Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 As some suspected, Aff Pub does indeed have vector and photo personas which seem to link to Aff Des and Aff Photo. However, I get the message ''A compatible version of Affinity Designer/Photo is required''. Perhaps this means Des and Photo need updating to the same 1.7 version as Pub.

Quote We will have deep integration with our other apps (check out the persona buttons!) However, we need to push an update to Photo and Designer before this works - we’ll let you know when.

Schnesen Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Woohoo, Happy beta release day Affinity team. I'm really looking forward to try it out. I put a little private project on hold because I wanted to do it with Publisher to give it a first shot with a real thing.

Jarle Petterson Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hey! Just downloaded the beta and am, of course, overexcited by the prospect of buying the final version, once ready for release. Before it is, however, would it be possible to set up a text frame with a desired number of columns, rather than inserting x number of linked text frames (an InDesign trait that I miss, along with snappable columns on master pages)? I'm really looking forward to playing around with this! Cheers, Jarle P Norway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
