Is there any Performance Mode in Affinity Publisher?


Recommended Posts

So since the Publisher is finally out, i took the courage to convert my 400 Page book from Indesign to Publisher. Since it have may Graphics it is a mess to move things around. I looked everywhere but i coud not find a Performance Mode, wich lowers the resolution of the Graphics for a better workflow. This Option is stanard in Indesign and i really miss it. I work on I7 8700k, GTX 2800 and 32 GB Ram, so this shoud not be a problem. 

Does someone know how to run this smoother? It is impossible to work with it right now. Did not find any Tutorial about this.

How did you convert your INDD file to Publisher?

Easiest way (Only way I think currently) is to save your InDesign file as a PDF and then drag n drop that into Affinity Publisher and it will give you some options on how to handle the file and then open it up as a fully editable APub file ready to work on :0)

Ok. I was doing that too but I thought maybe someone had come up with something even better. If I import a PDF and the text has been converted to outlines Designer can bog down quickly, and that's just on a 2 page document. Otherwise I really haven't had too many problems importing PDF's other than how Indesign makes it's simulated dropshadow crap.

Yes i did. Visually it makes no difference, so no change in performance either :/ So the performance per se is ok, but as soon as i want do drag and drop something, it is impossible to move it around.

Unfortunally i do not have a way. The PDF Conversion is ok, but gave me a lot of problems, so i decided to copy it page per page manually. I think it will took some weeks^^

What about the options farther down, in particular setting Display to Metal & (if your GPU is supported) enabling Metal compute acceleration?

I do not know what Metal means. I do not have such an Option. A can choose Warp or my GPU. I dont know what Warp means.

The Retina rendering is set on low quality.

and is it better to enable or disable dither gradients? I tried a bit, but as  i do not have any gradients it makes no difference right now. 

Sorry for the Screenshots in German, but i think you can see the settings.

"Metal" is a GPU-related option for some Mac systems, and not available on Windows.

From the Windows Help for Publisher (searching for warp):

Renderer—choose your rendering experience. Select from the pop-up menu.

  • Default—renders using the default method - typically the installed graphics card.
  • Graphics display adapter—the name here varies depending on your graphics card and its driver. If you have multiple graphics cards installed you may see more than one option here.
  • WARP—use Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform. Try this if you are experiencing performance issues with the default option.
