VectorCat Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Is this a possibility? I’m working with placed images, and it would be great to open the photo tools right there. thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFC_4Heatons Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 You could buy a copy of of Publisher & get most of Designer & Photo integrated with the personas . I'm the same as you and would like to see the same or even better a full integration of Designer & Photo which I'm told isn't likely to happen. As a long time user of Fireworks I just like everything in one single app, whilst I appreciate Fireworks is nowhere near Photo in terms of bitmap editing.

VectorCat Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I do have Publisher, yes. The trio of apps and their integration with one another is great almost beyond words. In this example, Designer seems the better tool because of the way I can use artboards - as many as I need - with their ease of manipulability. To me it seems logical to include Photo persona. I do recognize the significance of the developers’ producing 3 world-class creative tools over a short span of years — for Mac, PC, and iPad. I hope that Publisher for iPad is to come.

You can do that in Publisher, too. Switch to the Designer Persona, then use File > New, and in the resulting dialog first uncheck Default Master Page, and then check Create Artboard Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

VectorCat Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Walt, that is *excellent* information..thank you for sharing it. I’m doing this work in Designer also because it supports iPad as well as Mac. I am going to make use of this tip, however. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, even if you save it as .afpub, it can be opened in Designer on iPad. But, good point about being on the iPad. I forgot to check which forum I was responding in. But I'm afraid that, for now, your options on iPad are limited. I presume you can "Edit in Photo" as you can on the desktop, but I think that's about it.

VectorCat Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 thank you for the confirmation, Paul...this is extremely helpful to know. My workflow is probably similar to that of many Affinity users: I want a pipeline, so to speak, among all of my production and design machines: Mac Pro, iPad Pro, Mac Book Pro. Seems I can have just exactly that. It’s a very good spot to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can create multiple Artboards in a Designer file and open and use artboards on Photo. All Photo lacks is the ui interface to create new artboards. I suspect you could simply copy paste to add more. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
