I'll dive back into Publisher to see if this has been dealt with and, if it has, that would be frickin' awesome.Serif has unveiled the long-awaited Version 2 of its Affinity creative suite, arriving with an Affinity V2 Universal Licence ownership tier announced with a price of €119.99 one-off cost with no subscription.ĭespite all the wishful thinking and wishes from many users, there is no version of Sketch revealed, neither are there Android versions of the apps (something I wish would happen) or even the much wanted Affinity Video Editor that many believed would be round the corner.

Essentially, each document had to be formatted by hand, which would have been a substantial up-tick in production time in comparison to InDesign where such actions can be handled either automatically or within a handful of minutes. For large and small projects, especially based on a template, the way that Publisher handles character and paragraph styles just didn't stack up to InDesign. Unfortunately, we rapidly identified that Publisher had still some way to go to truly threaten InDesign. while Education allows all of the apps for $19.99/mo.) (For reference, at the time of writing an InDesign subscription costs $20.99/mo. I had originally purchased Affinity to help out a friend so that they wouldn't have to buy the InDesign subscription, which outside of the Education license just seems way too expensive.

I've upped my Affinity license to v2, FWIW, but it will take time to re-evaluate Publisher.
