Effectivity Serif has done with Affinity Publisher what Blackmagic Design has done with the various pages in DaVinci Resolve. Likewise, clicking on the Designer Persona will display vector-based drawing tools. Just select the image within the document and click on the Photo Persona button in the upper left, which then shifts the UI to display the image processing tools. However, with Affinity Publisher the process is more straightforward, because the Photo Persona is right there.

Users of Adobe InDesign know that to edit an image within a document you have to “open in Photoshop,” which launches the full Photoshop application where you would make the changes and then roundtrip back to InDesign. If you have both Photo and Designer installed, then the controls for both Personas are functional in Publisher but, if you only have one of the others installed, then just that Persona offers additional controls. If you also have the Photo and Designer applications installed on the same machine, then a subset of these applications is directly accessible within Publisher as the Photo and/or Designer Persona. However, with Publisher, Affinity has taken Personas a step further through a technology they call StudioLink. That’s where you set up page layouts, import and arrange images, create text blocks, and handle print specs and soft proofs. For example, in Affinity Photo basic image manipulation happens in the Photo Persona, but for mesh deformations, you need to shift to the Liquify Persona.Īffinity Publisher starts with the Publisher Persona. The core user interface feature of the Affinity applications is that various modules are presented as Personas, which are accessed by the icons in the upper left corner of the interface. This graphic design toolkit collectively constitutes an alternative to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

All three applications support Windows and macOS, but Photo and Designer are also available as full-fledged pro applications for the iPad. This adds to the toolkit that already includes Affinity Photo (an image editor) and Affinity Designer (a vector-based illustration app). Serif has completed the circle with the release of Affinity Publisher, a full-featured, desktop publishing application. The software market offers numerous alternatives to Adobe Photoshop, but few companies have taken on the challenge to go further and create a competitive suite of graphics tools – until now.
