fls-eugene Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hallo Can Affinity Publisher be used to create for example 40 page A4 photobook without crashing/freezing? Currently, I am using the printing company's own software, but it has many problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi fls-eugene, Welcome to Affinity Forums Affinity Publisher is still in Beta. It is NOT suitable for production/commercial/critical work. We cannot guarantee that it will work flawlessly at this point. Changes/updates during the Beta may also render previously created documents unusable.

fls-eugene Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hello MEB Thanks for the reply, though I was not asking if the software is commercial ready. I am asking if it it is intended to be used in a certain way. Quote Can Affinity Publisher be used to create for example 40 page A4 photobook without crashing/freezing?

Staff MEB Posted September 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 11, 2018 Sorry, seems I misunderstood your question Yes, you should be able to use it to create a 40 page photobook.

Uncle Mez Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Dear @fls-eugene well you can give it a try but making sure you understand @MEB point here mentioned. i would suggest you actually link the files to your photo-book instead of embedding them in the project as we often tends to do. I've done a 28 pages project combining works from ADesigner + APhoto (both mac) > APub and it went smoothly and well, thus to make sure i don't kill the whole country by doing too much technics; i linked the photos (and even .afphoto - afdesigner) and all created vectors (exported in png or tiff) and just did the text work straight in APub; that's the workflow i've tested which works. i believe from that point you can develop something else that suit your demand and that will help you understand the progress of APub in these Beta days. @MEB personally APUb works well on my side and i'm actually correcting projects made with ADesigner or APhoto with APub because it's simply delivers better colors, better pdf and better "many things i often need" and even visually my assistant designer (my wife ) and i are satisfied with the result but we also believe Serif should push it more forward and we expect 1.7 series to be able to kill the Thanos of impatience and it's army of bugs thus ending this infinite war ... Only for a few months until we ... Design & Creative Avengers! are called to fight on another project thus asking for new gadgets to Serif Stark !
