Quick Look is a a quick preview feature that Apple introduced in Mac OS X 10.5. Harnessing the power of Apple’s Quick Look technology, Fileloupe offers users one of the fastest ways to browse, view and share photos, videos, PDFs and documents. ![]() However, they aren’t particularly designed for displaying files at full size, displaying multiple files at the same time or at showing files in a single window that are located across folder or volume boundaries. Officially I think they refer to the feature as Studio Link.įast, feature rich and one time purchases at a price that I think is far too low.File managers like the OS X Finder are great for performing file management tasks and for showing thumbnails of files in a hierarchical fashion. I make my photo edits then tap the Publisher icon and I’m back to the normal Publisher tools and mode of operation. It’s as though I’ve left the Publisher app without leaving it. Basically, all three Affinity app icons reside in the top left of the Publisher window and if I need to do something (say edit a photo that’s in my document) I just tap the Photo icon and the tools just switch to the tools in Affinity Photo. Fantastic.Īnd one last thing to underscore, the ability of Publisher to, switch modes, without leaving the app, to one of the other apps. If there’s something special I need to do I can open an Affinity Photo document in Affinity Designer - no conversion, it just opens and saves regardless of device or app. I love that the file format is interchangeable. Affinity is working on Publisher for iPad. I still go to the Mac to run Publisher which runs fantastically on a 2012 Mac Mini. Full versions but with touch oriented interface. I’d add that Affinity did a fantastic, very thoughtful job of porting the apps to iPad. When the iPad apps became available they became my most-used iPad apps and work fantastically. I started with the Mac apps from day one of their release or nearly so and within a few days of the trial knew I’d be dropping Adobe. This is word for word what I was about to write. But if you need an auto-trace, Vectornator has you covered and its free. That’s what I noticed with other switchers, they often dismissed the apps as inferior because it doesn’t work the way Adobe does it.Īdditional note: AD doesnt have an auto-trace and I rarely use that feature in AI. If you are willing to change workflow and learn then yes it will work for your professional work requirements. You need to allow some time to learn though. I doubt Illustrator can handle the same workload that I did. Performance wasn’t an issue on my Intel MBP. I’ve recently worked on a wallpaper tile about 4m x 4m on Affinity Designer with about 3000 vector objects and hundreds of raster layers. I also love using the Touchbar with Affinity apps as their implementation is well thought out. I still use Adobe CC since I’m required at work but I’d rather use Affinity apps. Performance is also fast even against the latest version of CC. I often switch between the Mac and the iPad version depending on my mood. The iPad app counterpart is also full-pledge apps and not a watered-down version. What I love about Affinity is that I can work on the same file and open/work on them on 3 of their available apps. ![]() Filling and deleting colors aren’t the same. You can’t just drag and drop layer’s from each opened document. Some annoyances though if you’re used to Adobe apps is their masking is vastly different. There is learning curve involve of course but I find their method much better. It is competitive and it has all the professional tools that you need. Sometimes, I even use it for work as it is faster. I’ve worked on all my personal and freelance projects on Designer/Photo/Publisher. There was an issue with Photoshop at the time too that I have to restart the app each time. I switched to Affinity because I’m grown tired of Illustrator’s buggy performance. I’ve also used Adobe apps since Photoshop 4 and Illustrator 9 and most of their apps. I use all three of their apps including their iPad app counterpart.
