I will keep InDesign CS6 on an old workstation as a fallback for myself until Affinity Publisher has the Mail Merge feature I long for. Affinity Publisher does not have all the features of InDesign but it will meet most of the needs of a lot of people. I have laboured with InDesign for years and years and have been waiting for a total rewrite by Adobe or a decent alternative. While I am happy to use Blurb for some things I also want to be independent of Blurb.

I would prefer to have the full book feature set contained within the Lr / Ps partnership and avoid using 3rd party products. I am glad to see some relatively recent improvements in the Book module, but think this module has yet to achieve its full potential.
25 Euros, which gives me desktop publishing on my laptop and also allows me have multi page editing of pdf's.
#How to use affinity photo install#
I am pushed in this direction also, because Adobe are making it extremely difficult for me to install my CS6 version of InDesign and Acrobat Pro on my laptop and was very happy to put Affinity Publisher on my laptop for approx. I have no reason at the moment to use Affinity Photo as I am happy with Photoshop, but I am seriously anxious to find an alternative for Adobe InDesign.
I will then use it to create books containing my images and metadata from Lr, just as pdfs or in a format suitable for Blurb.
I have Affinity Publisher and am awaiting its mail merge functionality (on the list but no promised dates). I think this family of apps has potential.
