![]() ![]() It's not all in one place, but that's ok. So, the workbook, along with the application help pages, these forums and YT vids provide all of the instruction that is needed. It can always be a general reference workbook, especially for a self-taught graphics designer like me. Affinity Designer’s Studio provides some of the same features. Illustrator CC offers multiple Workspaces pre-set for different types of design jobsweb design, automation and pre-press proofing to name a fewand the ability to create a custom Workspace. The best argument for the value of the aging book is what walt.farrell said. Affinity Designer comes up short against Adobe Illustrator in workspace options. I looked (because Scherer bought one there) and the lowest used prices at Ebay are still not at or lower than the Black Friday sale. The update issues will not stop me from buying the workbook if I decide to. As for the PDF/ebook versions request, I believe that the color integrity argument is valid. There really doesn't seem to be any good solution that would protect the revenue of Serif while giving us what we want. I do understand that broadcasting the update would reduce subsequent sales from those who equate the value of the book with the age of the updated version. Shouldn't we, who love and support Affinity, be privy to the book updates info? Maybe many users would sell their old books and buy updated ones. It is a big help in making the decision whether or not to buy the AD workbook.Īnd that's the kind of situation where they might update the And if that's the case (since there certainly have been tools added since the book was published), and if they have updated the book at all, why not tell the users? So many love Affinity, me included. ![]() Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion. In the general line of my profession, I have many “books of age”, e.g., my dead-tree copies of “The Art of Computer Programming” and “Computers & Typesetting” are more than twenty years old (although the author keeps fixing bugs and publishing corrections on his site and recently new editions of both series were released) and I pick them up regularly.įor current and up-to-date information of the three Affinity programs, I regularly consult the inline and online manual, which gets updated with each release. I don't worry that the information in this workbook would loose its value in the years to come. As a first edition (and a translation at that), the book does contain typos and omissions (IMHO), but it's cool to be able to submit bug reports to the Affinity Forums and get positive feedback. I have finished the first tutorial from scratch and I wish I had more time to dig into the rest RSN.
