If I was still working in Adobe CS, I would immediately start doing small projects in Affinity with the long term goal of weaning myself off the Adobe crowd. The Tools palette includes the following controls: Use the Item tool QuarkXpress tool item Tools to select, move, resize, and reshape items (boxes, lines, text. So far I love AP and will soon give AD a go. I’ve now bought into the Affinity suite and I wish them all the best. To have your files held hostage by one company on the subscription model is tempting the fate that befell Quark. We were an independent lot and back then jumped ship from Quark to Adobe in a minute. They miss the point and I suspect they are not designers. And yes, I’ve heard other commenters opine that if you’re a working designer, the monthly fee is an acceptable cost. But I feel sorry for any independent designers forced to pay the outrageous subscription fees. I’ve since managed to do all my photo editing using other software. I have the luxury of leaving the industry just when Adobe turned arrogant. I still have the entire work flow hardwired into my brain.) (BTW, I loved Photoshop and InDesign and to a lesser extent, Illustrator.

And then Adobe introduced the subscription model and became Quark. As a result, printers bent over backwards to stay alive and took anything, even Word files (shudder). Many, many printers and most service bureaus went belly up with the decline of print publishing. A quick 2-3 years later 9 out of ten were using the Adobe suite.īut that was then and a couple things happened. At one time 9 out of ten service bureaus and printers were using it. And yes, I dumped Quark when they neglected customer service.
