Provided in the attachment below is a screenshot of how afphoto files display now when affinity photo 2 is the handler for afphoto files next to a rendered image otherwise identical to the file. Thank you for the reply, i am currently running windows 10 professional 22H2, build 19045.2251, all current on patches (Also, if you do not have File Explorer configured to show file extensions, please enable that option so we can be sure what kind of files we're looking at.)
Please tell us what version of Windows you're running, and provide a screenshot of what you're seeing in File Explorer. I haven't seen that on my Windows systems. You go to publisher and you bring it all together and publish it.Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Maybe some folks give you some copy / text to work with. You create a magazine logo in Designer, and perhaps a few beautiful illustrations. You shoot some pictures and edit in Photo. So a workflow could be that you want to create a magazine. You get master pages, lay-out tools, lots of text options (Like automatic Capitalization or paragraph formatting) Mostly print, but digital (e-books) has evolved from that. The new additions work exceedingly well, and will undoubtedly help you be more creative as you draw, slice and. It has all the tools you need to get started if you want to publish anything. Serif Affinity Designer 2 is a great upgrade to an already very promising tool. Publisher is a DTP, Desktop Publishing Program. You can create and edit line work, fills, fonts and so on to create a great design that will scale without problem.
Also concept-art or industrial concepts are sometimes made with this technique. So this is used mostly for designs for bill-boards, posters, flyers, info graphics and of course logos and illustration. Designer is mostly for vector related art, which is resolution independent. It also can do painting to some extend, but it is not as fully developed as in Photoshop, but still very useable in the right hands. It can do RAW development, retouching, non destructive adjustments (aka filters) and allows you to tweak a photograph to your liking. Affinity Photo will be able to do all the things your friend did for you using Photoshop. Here is a little round up I wrote earlier :
