Working with Adobe products' files is limited. The suite of three Affinity products can open and work with TIFFs, JPEGs, PNGs. And for the graphics they are sending me TIFFs, JPEGs, PNGs and PDFs and are happy with a PDF to approve then I would seriously think about changing over to Affinity. If however my clients are sending me CSV or Excel files for the Data. If my clients want to see InDesign/Illustrator/PhotoShop files for approval and or proofreading then I would say "Stay with Adobe". But if I have several clients who are used to sending me specific Adobe file types, I would hesitate to change not only my own workflow* but my clients' workflows as well. I could use Publisher and Photo and Designer to produce these sorts of calendars. I took a look at the website and want to know if all the artwork and the dates or holidays are supplied by the client? I've probably forgotten a lot of things, but this is a start.
Is there a way to work collaboratively on a project or to easily share working folders? Is the generation of PDFs for printing as well handled as with Adobe? Is PostScript required? Are overprints generated correctly?Īre Mac and Windows versions fully compatible? Can they send me their work and can I modify it?Īnd the other way around, what if I send them Affinity files? Can they open it with Adobe? I work with external graphic designers who use Adobe. Is it easy to re-use the files from Adobe? Illustrator / Photoshop / Indesign => used to import the background (Photoshop format), the calendar grid (Illustrator format) and then to format the client's advertising insert (contact details, logos, photos, etc.) Photo stitching, use of eraser tool, use of shapes I'm interested in any options related to data transfer via API or other to automate models. Then I do batch processing and also data merges I currently use the script variableimporter.jsx to import CSV or XML data. => used to create the calendar grids, with the names of the saints, the dates, the moons. We create advertising calendars ([url=it's not advertising, it's just to visualise the type of creation we do).
That I try to apprehend as much as possible. Like any change, there is always a part of unknown. So far so good but I'm thinking of switching to a newer system to have more up to date maintenance.Īvoiding switching to the Creative CC version, a bit expensive for my taste. I am currently on Adobe CS6 but I feel I am reaching the end of the software (and my OS is macOS Sierra 10.12) Would you be willing to take some of your time to give me your opinion on the matter? Please feel free to refer me to people in your networks if needed. I am new to the forum and I would need some advice on the switch from Adobe (CS6) to Affinity before making my choice.
