![]() ![]() The forums are a good place to ask about or research feature implementations and requests, especially. I miss some power features, especially around styles and Photo automation, but I've adapted, and I appreciate the hell out of how well-integrated the three apps are with each other in interface and functionality. No more having to flip my brain from Illustrator's vector drawing to Photoshop's to InDesign's, they all just work with each other and the same way, copy and paste across each other without any fuss, edit within each other easily when necessary, etc. What I get that I didn't have in Adobe, and especially InDesign: pretty much full access from any of the component apps to vector drawing tools, raster and vector brushes, and shape tools, all of which behave consistently across the suite. I don't have any problems with large or complex layouts loading huge amounts of data for artwork, or massive text docs. You'll miss the level of automation complexity and droplets in Photo too if you use those regularly in Photoshop. It's the biggest feature I miss regularly. Publisher doesn't do grep styles or anything similar enough to replace that. What you'll miss the most falls under what I think you mean by "scripts for text formatting". If you're editing PDFs or converting from INDD, you can get away with a lot but you need to be careful since there are a few feature gaps (see the next paragraph in particular) that don't convert well or at all. If you're publishing books built from scratch in Affinity Publisher, there's nothing off the top of my head that I had to fundamentally change about my workflow in shipping 4-color books with layered artwork and columnar text with sidebars to prepress. PDF import and placing PDF docs is surprisingly good, in some case shockingly so. Its PDF export is good, not great-again, Adobe allows for extreme granularity in PDF settings so I'd need to know specific use cases to advise. ![]() You'd have to go into more depth about your use cases as I know Adobe let some wild stuff happen, but if you just need to use and embed profiles and soft proof, you can do that. Profile support is fine, compatible with ICC profiles, does soft proofing and black point compensation. ![]()
