Affinity Designer vs. Adobe Illustrator: Can Designer Replace Illustrator?.
I somewhat understand Affinity's position assuming their reason for not doing a PDF version is because of piracy concerns but PDF can be locked down by a publisher, can't it. Maybe there just isn't enough demand for a PDF version. The only way I know to 'lock down' a PDF is with a password but pirates could post them on the web so that would not be very effective.
Of course a determined software pirate has many ways to do his unscrupulous deeds but massive copyrighted, proprietary photography ebooks are sold online everyday, aren't they? That's why I just came to the conclusion that there was little demand. Yes, pdf permissions passwords can be removed in less than 1 second.
It takes strong pdf open passwords to secure a pdf. The passwords to open the pdf would need to be communicated to the end user and likely would be passed along as well.
However, your second paragraph is a bogus issue. PagePlus, which did the first two workbooks I really hope Serif is attempting to use APub for its workbook can also as easily produce a screen version and it wouldn't be a big pdf. Even so, it should then be ran through Acrobat to optimize it. I cannot imagine either workbook would be larger than 5 megs.
And speaking of Acrobat, the same thing can be done to the very pfds used to print the workbook, including cropping the pages. Mike, have you seen a copy of the Photo workbook?
What would be the point of making a PDF or e-Book version that did not include the same high resolution versions of the book's example images that could be enlarged on screen or printed to show the same level of detail? Low resolution pdfs are used for manuals all the time. They, the images, print OK. It's more about having the instructions on-screen when following along.
Want it to look pretty too? Buy the book or A version with dpi images, which would print well on consumer printers, wouldn't weigh in above 10 megs or so. Well those are first of all workbooks, so books for learning how to use the software and thus are not meant to be highres gallerie fine art photo prints in their own rights, which BTW then would have almost bigger dimensional paper sizes. And of course you can show for such sort of books enough details in PDF and epub formats too.
The Affinity workbooks are not product manuals. They do include a brief introductory section that covers the basics but their primary focus is on teaching users how to use the software to achieve specific end results via a series of 'learn by doing' projects, with much of the projects' content presented in high resolution printed images.
This is so users can compare the book's images side-by-side to what they see on screen or to their own printed out versions, which among other things provides a standard for comparison that is constant regardless of their monitor or printer characteristics. Manuals, workbook, teaching aide, whatever. What I called the workbooks isn't important. But thanks for your attempt to obfuscate. Screen resolution is sufficient to compare on-screen. But I did mention they could as well be dpi, eh?
I would also argue that for this purpose, the text instructions are paramount. But you'll likely argue with that, too. This is all moot anyway. Serif has stated they ain't gonna release electronic versions No, I have not seen a physical book so have not dealt with any of the project files. I am not the target market person. I have looked at the sample pages in both present workbooks. I see absolutely nothing about those preview pages that preclude using them in pdf or eBook format.
Anyway, for those wondering if the workbooks are right for them please be aware that they are not, nor are they intended to be, comprehensive manuals that will teach you everything the apps can do, how to use every tool, or answer all your questions about basic functionalities. If that is what you want, look elsewhere. You simply dismiss that dpi images sufficiently display for such a workbook. This flies in the face of nearly every eBook or pdf instructional book ever made.
While I'm sure there are crappy ones out there, I have two instructional eBooks on my Android table right now that are excellent in both image detail, even when zoomed in, without being excessive in size.
Both are equivalent in page quantity and image detail to the Affinity books. Like for example much better general searching for contents topics, index, words, crossreferences etc. Further for every better IT and computer ebook all the related accompanied media is also available as download packages, either as a whole or chapter wise, dependent on the size of the whole material. It also eliminates one common question, how do I find and downloads.
Just click the link. However, one can easily loan or resale the book and resources. Additionally, it keeps the wife happy, as I have purchased and donated over two hundred, almost new books, over the years. I also like not having to remember to place a bookmark on my page.
BTW, why do you need to manually capitalize the start of a new sentence or paragraph lately or have I just not noticed. This is on iPad Pro. The Affinity workbooks are not reference manuals.
But, one doesn't need print resolution i. They don't need to be that huge and highres at all for such purposes, you can give it a try with some ebooks. I have a bunch of Apple and PS theme related ebooks about graphics and photo themes, which all scale fine here.
What has that to do with reference manuals or self contained projects only, so what is the lame excuse argument here? The Affinity workbooks also contain a table of contents, index and chapter intros, further inside references and footnotes which do point to other book sections and things handled in other projects in their contents. Did you never saw or had any ebook with hyperlinks which wasn't a reference manual? I have a bunch of Apple, Photoshop, Photo and other software related workshop ebooks also divided into projects and specific task which all offer the same purpose here as the Affinity books.
What purpose would that be? Why do you think that was included? As for the index, the Photo one is only 8 pages of double-spaced two column entries, maybe 60 entries per page.
These improvements are indications that the developers at Serif understand the needs of professional designers and are working to meet those needs. The Windows beta version is now available for download, but there is no information about Affinity companion apps for mobile devices.
Adobe CC is available for Mac and Windows and the Adobe mobile apps let users create and preserve editable artwork in the Creative Cloud for use across platforms. In terms of function and style, Affinity Designer is an impressive, low-budget alternative to Adobe Illustrator. Full-service designers who need to create multi-page documents will still need to rely on InDesign—or the old Quark Xpress, as Serif has not yet released a comparable alternative. For comprehensive features, tools and shortcuts, Adobe CC has Affinity beat.
However, if Serif keeps the pace, we may soon see the Affinity suite become a major competitor in the graphic software market. About the author: Katharine M.
