![]() ![]() The Apple Pencil is way more precise and feels way better while drawing then a Wacom pen. I also got a lightroom license especially as it enables me to have a shares library across my phone, Mac and iPad which is absolutely great.I do own a Wacom Cintiq tablet which I didn't use for years after buying the iPad as there wasn't that much use nor appeal. must be around 500 portraits for magazines, dozens of editorial illustrations or posters for my kids. I might add some further investigations in future!Įver since the iPad Pro came out, it became quite more than a simple ereader, even though in 2015 I initially felt like it was a superhuge iPhone. I got a Macbook Pro from work, so I don't feel like having another stationary Mac at home and if Stage Manager + External screen works well especially with apps like Affinity + Mouse + keyboard, the reasons to buy Macs are fading, so I'm quite thrilled to, for the first time, feel like this could become a viable option! I bought that whole bundle with the main idea in mind, that I one day might buy a new iPad Pro to eventually really make it my main computer and this whole suite of apps could really help here. Glad Serif implemented it here as its just so crucial for working precisely. Just small features like double clicking on a text-frame to make it snap to the text's actual size is among the most crucial things inside Indesign and Adobe is unable to do this in any other app. I'm still experimenting but Publisher already does things, that many other apps don't. On the other hand, my search for simple kerning took a while. I mean maybe also because it doesn't invent the wheel again, but I was able to very quickly create pretty complex layouts and can appreciate that some things that would be hidden fairly well in indesign are pretty conveniently solved here. I also have to praise how intuitive everything feels. But I certainly will keep an eye on it, especially as it might make sense now that even if I'm doing a Designer project, to start it in Publisher to eventually have my design already sitting inside some layout-ready format. I really don't know if I'll really use Publisher though, as privately, my need for layouts is not ver big and at work, it just wouldn't make sense. On iOS, the system that to this day makes it a pain to work between several apps, this is just absolute gold. I mean by now, there are quite a few pretty solid, serious apps out there, but for me, Publisher might rule them all thanks to one single feature: The ability to just load Photo + Designer overlays with a single click without switching anything. BUT I had to try it out on the iPad and jesus, this might immediately be the most "Pro" app on iOS. I wouldn't have bought Publisher separately as I'm 100% working with Indesign which, for work, will remain that way.
