kdog3682 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I like working in Affinity Publisher for because it opens up the option for having lots of pages in the same file. I've started thinking about creating all vectors and wireframes in publisher, and I'm just curious as to what I may be missing out by using Publisher over affinity for these simple vectors / shapes / diagramming.

R C-R Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The most obvious thing is that the Affinity Publisher beta is still a work in progress & should not be used for any commercial or any other project where you can't afford to lose your work. When the retail APub version is finally released, we will know more, but for now (aside from not being suitable for production work, of course) among the things it lacks is the View Mode options (like Outline, Pixel, & Retina Pixel) of Designer & a way to create symbols or artboards.

carl123 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 @kdog3682 Go for it. Publisher has some advanced features such as the Resources manager, File "linking", Tables and Pinning that has me wondering if it could replace Photo and Designer for me as my go to application for starting all my projects. In situations where a particular feature is not present in Publisher I am hoping that easy switching to and from Photo and Designer to access those features will be smooth enough for me not to have to worry about this. I am looking forward to the final release of Publisher to be able to test it out on a live project using Publisher as the key application for that project to see just how well it performs Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

walt.farrell Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Publisher does not have the Corner Tool, the Pencil Tool, nor the Vector Brush Tool. If you own both Publisher and Designer, then when the Designer Persona is enabled later in the Publisher Beta you may have access to those tools in Publisher via the Designer Persona, but we won't know until that time what will be available for sure.

Petar Petrenko Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Once Publisher won't be beta any more, we can use Designer and Photo Personas. At first thought, these personas could be just a link to call appropriate apps, but A-Team said that we can expect a lot more from their functionality.

Yes, but only if you also own Designer and Photo.
