Podcasts about Affinity Publisher

In episode 102, I take the opportunity to catch up with you regarding my latest fiction release, the novelette “Reggie vs Kaiju Storm Dragon Squidbat.” Also, I talk about bringing my next project, the Shaper’s World novel SHADOW OF THE OUTSIDER, from the back burner to the front, and touch on the trepidation and fears I’m facing with regard to that work. This episode was recorded on June 9, 2024. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode This episode includes some follow-up to topics mentioned in the sixth anniversary episode. My latest work of fiction is “Reggie vs Kaiju Storm Dragon Squidbat.” It’s the latest work in my Daikaiju Universe storyworld. The first is “Reggie vs Kaiju Storm Chimera Wolf.” “…Dragon Squidbat” is inspired, in part, by 1970s Godzilla movies. …and in another part by certain works by H. P. Lovecraft. My day job always has a part to play in what’s news. Perhaps there’s something I can help you with? I’ve offset the impact of those aforementioned changes by driving deliveries for the time being. I use Affinity Publisher to create all my print works — paperbacks and chapbooks. The novel Light of the Outsider The novelette “The Perfumed Air at Kwaanantag Bay” As a musician, I’m affiliated both as a composer and publisher with ASCAP, the music licensing organization. I’ve signed on with LANDR to get my music distributed to the streaming and retail services and sites. I revist the Eisenhower Matrix, which is a visual prioritization and planning tool.

247 Affinity - der "günstige" Weg für Bildbearbeitung, Desktop Publishing und VektordesignIch habe vor langer Zeit einige Jahre für Adobe gearbeitet, somit stellte mich die neueste Version von Photoshop oder auch Acrobat nie vor ein Problem. Aber nach dieser Zeit habe ich nicht jede Lizenz weitergepflegt, sodass eines Tages der Tag der Wahrheit kam: bezahlen, Alternative oder einfach lassen. Bezahlen nervt mich als Privatperson, seitdem Adobe Milliarden über teure Abomodelle absaugt. Lassen, klar, kein Ding - aber würde ich das hier schreiben, wenn ich es gelassen hätte? Nur gut, dass gerade vom Liebling Photoshop die "kleine Bruder"-Version wieder ausgegraben wurde und somit bezahlbar blieb. Aber was, wenn ich mein CorelDraw nicht mehr zahlen möchte? Oder ich doch plötzlich wieder mehr Desktop Publishing in mein Leben bringen will - und schon ist der Funktionsumfang von Photoshop Elements zu wenig! Generell gefragt: Geht das für Privat, Verein oder Einzelunternehmer überhaupt zu Kosten, die nicht erst wieder über Monate hinweg verdient werden wollen? Oder nur mit so viel Einschränkung in der jeweiligen Software, dass es auch keinen Spaß macht? Kurz gesagt: Es geht und es muss auch kein Vermögen sein. Das Zauberwort ist Affinity! Affinity Photo - preiswerte Alternative zur Bildbearbeitung, die sich nicht hinter großen Konkurrenten verstecken muss / Bild/Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de Photoshop sagt, so meine Erfahrung, mehr oder weniger jedem etwas. Und, sofern derjenige nicht selbstständiger Designer oder Fotograf ist, geht sofort das - zu Recht! - Wehklagen über das Abo- und Preismodell von Adobe einher. Meine erste Photoshop-Lizenz war für Version 2.5, in der Box von meinem damaligen Scanner. Allerdings kann ich mich noch an Zeiten erinnern, da hat eine "volle", also kein Update oder Upgrade, Photoshop-Lizenz knapp 1.500 Mark gekostet - mit voller Update-Power über die Jahre. Mit den Euros waren es dann später um die 1.200 €. Dann kam die Creative Suite, die mehrere Software-Produkte in eine Box gepackt hat und schon stand mindestens eine Zwei ganz vorn. Und heute? Heute gibt es Abos der sogenannten Creative Cloud. Und hier liegt Photoshop im Abo bei einem monatlichen Preis von 24 €, also unter 300 € pro Jahr - und das immer in neuester Version, mit allen Funktionen. Dafür, dass man immer die aktuelle Version bekommt, hört sich das preislich sicherlich nicht schlecht an. Aber... es kostet eben Monat für Monat, ob man es nun nutzt, benötigt oder eben Geld damit verdient. Und wenn du inzwischen mehr als Photoshop benötigst? Dann steigt der Preis, ein Acrobat obendrauf sind im Monat gut 24 €, und als Designer hast du meist noch InDesign und Illustrator auf der Platte, weitere zweimal 24 €. Also, 4x24 €/Monat, somit knapp 96 € im Monat oder 1.152 € im Jahr. Gut, das bekommst du günstiger, wenn du für etwas über 62 € gleich alles von Adobe aus einem Segment, also Druck oder Video, im Monat abonnierst, dann landest du bei um die 745 € im Jahr. Allerdings sind Abomodelle wie ein Casino: Es gewinnt immer nur die Bank! Entweder bindest du dich für ein Jahr - oder du lässt es. Und dann sind aber auch alle bisher genutzten Lizenzen weg und die zurückbleibenden Daten wertlos, gerade die Adobe-eignen Dateiendungen schreien nach den Software-Werkzeugen der Firma! Somit ergießen sich hin und wieder ein paar Shitstorms auf Adobe, die dieser aber bisher alle überlebt und weiterhin seine Gewinne gesteigert hat und so zahlen seine Kunden auch brav die entsprechenden Lizenzgebühren. Und schon könnte hier Schluss sein - wäre da nicht die Frage nach ebenbürtigen Alternativen. Und ja, die gibt es. Aber meist eine Anwendung von einem Anbieter, somit habt ihr für einen Bild-Layout-PDF-Workflow gut und gerne mal vier Produkte von fünf Anbietern im Einsatz. Und "Workflow" ist auch eher viel manuelle Arbeit, die in den Anfängen viel Mühe kostet und auch den Kauf bzw. Ersatz einer Software, die sich nach Installation doch als unpassend herausstellte. Umso besser, dass es für Photoshop, CorelDraw oder Illustrator und auch InDesign ebenbürtige Lösungen gibt. Aus einer Hand. Mit Sachverstand und hoher Qualität. Und nicht im Abo. Und, ganz frisch, in Version 2 und nun auch mit einem Funktionsumfang, der sich sehen lassen kann. Und preislich sowohl für privat oder eben gewerblich problemlos bezahlbar: Affinity! Bisher, so mein Eindruck, eher noch ein Geheimtipp - aber seit alle drei Anwendungen neu als Version 2 auf den Markt gekommen sind, spülte sich die Nachricht quer durch die Nachrichten-Portale. Und auch die preislichen Black Friday Angebote konnten sich sehen lassen. Aber keine Panik, wenn du das verpasst hast oder jetzt zum ersten Mal hörst: Die drei Produkte zusammen oder nur eines allein kannst du dir problemlos leisten! Schauen wir doch mal rein, von grob nach fein: Affinity Photo, eine Software zur Erstellung oder Retusche von Bildmaterial auf Pixelbasis aller Art. Mit Ebenen, Effekten und alles, was man von einer modernen Bildbearbeitung so erwartet, Kostenpunkt: 85 €, in letzter Zeit gab es immer mal wieder Aktionen, der Tiefstpreis bisher lag, soweit ich es mitbekommen habe, bei knapp unter 50 €. Ich fürchte, die meisten von euch hören hier mit lesen auf und klicken sofort auf die Seite. Aber langsam! Da gibt es noch zwei Produkte mehr! Mit Affinity Designer konnte ich endlich meine etwas ergraute Version von CorelDraw von der Platte fegen: Logos erstellen, Vektorgrafiken bauen und bearbeiten und, wenn es eilt, auch mal einseitige Layouts gestalten, mit Profiwerkzeugen. Besonders schön: Designer ist nicht nur auf Vektorgrafiken limitiert, es gibt auch Erstellungs- und Bearbeitungsmöglichkeiten für Rastergrafiken. Auch hier, im Einzelkauf unter 85 € - oder eben einem aktuellen Sonderangebotspreis, auch hier überwiegend unter 50 €! Affinity Designer mit mitgelieferter Vorlage, damit habe ich mein CorelDraw ersetzt / Bild-/Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de Tja, was fehlt nun noch im Agenturalltag - richtig, Desktop-Publishing. Wie wäre es mit Affinity Publisher? Seitenlayout für Print, Broschüren, Berichte oder Großformatiges. Und, ich glaube, ihr kommt schon darauf: unter 85 € oder nach aktueller Sonderrate. Endlich Schluss mit den endlosen Versuchen, ein vernünftiges Layout mit Word oder auf Umwege in CorelDraw zu zaubern. Kein InDesign mehr nötig, es macht der Publisher von Affinity! / Bild-Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de Und das beste: der Gesamtpreis aller drei zusammen kostet sagenumwobene 200 € (oder nach Aktion weniger)! Aktuelle Version aller drei Produkte: 2.0.3. Und das schönste: die Version zwei ist erst seit ein paar Monaten auf dem Markt. Am besten über die offizielle Webseite kaufen! Und ja, ihr Macianer, die drei Apps gibt es neben macOS ebenfalls käuflich für des Designers iPad. Soweit ich auf der Webseite gesehen habe, den Sinn mal dahingestellt, ist der Publisher 1:1 auf dem iPad verfügbar. Und ja: es handelt sich hierbei um installierbare und Update-berechtigte Versionen, die ihr wirklich einfach so behalten und nutzen könnt! Kein Abo. Keine weiteren versteckten Kosten - von den Erweiterungen, die je Paket optional angeboten werden, wie z.B. Kreativ-Pinsel und Ähnliches abgesehen. Jetzt mal ran an die Details: 1. Photo Ich muss gestehen, auch wenn viel Ähnlichkeit zu anderen Produkten besteht, man muss sich in die Arbeitsweisen und auch die Werkzeuge reinfuchsen. Am deutlichsten, weil ich einfach am meisten tagtäglich damit arbeite, merke ich es selbst heute noch mit Photo. Kleines Beispiel: In Photoshop möchte ich auf die Schnelle aus einem "großen" Bild ein Passfoto meines Gesichts ausschneiden: Freistellungswerkzeug, Maße eingeben (4,5 auf 3,5 cm) und den Rahmen aufziehen und freistellen. Fertig. In Photo habe ich zwar ebenfalls ein Freistellwerkzeug, auch hier kann ich Werte eingeben - allerdings schneidet mir der Rahmen dann fix die Größe des Rahmens aus und nicht die Maße, die ich hinterlegt hatte. Die Möglichkeit, den mit Maßen versehenen Rahmen aufzuziehen und er schneidet und verkleinert in einem konnte ich in Photo bisher nicht so einfach nachbilden. Und Affinity hat sich meiner Meinung nach viel Mühe gegeben, dass wir Photoshop User uns mit den Paletten und auch in Teilen der Menüs sofort zurechtfinden. Was alle drei Anwendungen eint, sind Spezialworkfunktionen, die sogenannten Personas. Folgende Personas sind in Photo: Photo ist die Hauptoberfläche, in der die Musik spielt. Erstellen von Pixelbildern oder Bearbeitung und Retusche von Bild-/Aufnahmen aller Art Liquify kann auf eine Ebene des Bildes angewandt werden und tut genau, was der Titel der Persona sagt: mit einem Pinselschwingen verwische ich wie feuchte Farbe, was auch immer auf der Ebene liegt. Schick! Develop ist für die RAW-Künstler unter euch das Modul, in dem entwickelt und optimiert oder angepasst wird Tone Mapping lässt euch das Bild dank Vorlagen von schwarz-weiß bis detaillierte Farben betonen Export macht erwartungsgemäß, was man erwartet: Ich kann das Bild zerschneiden ("Slice") und dann in einem gängigen Format exportieren. Schön, wenn auch aktuell wohl nicht mehr lange der "neueste" Schrei, direkter Export ins WebP-Format möglich. So genannte "Personas", ich übersetze mir das als "Spezialfunktionen" bieten alle drei in den jeweiligen Anwendungen. Schicke Erweiterung für den Funktionsumfang im täglichen Arbeitsablauf, hier von Photo / Bild-/Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de 2. Designer Aber auch Designer denkt anders als mein bisheriges CorelDraw. Und ja, es kann mehrseitige Layouts, aber per Umweg über die sogenannten Artboards, die ihr beim Anlegen einer neuen Datei unter den Einstellungen für die Papiergröße per Klick hinzufügen könnt. Und auch, wenn ihr noch ein paar CorelDraw-Dateien habt, werdet ihr enttäuscht sein, dass das direkte Öffnen nicht klappt. Wartet also noch mit der Deinstallation von Corel, ihr braucht es wahrscheinlich noch: Die gewünschte Datei, egal ob ein- oder mehrseitig, in Corel öffnen und als PDF3/X-3 exportieren. Diese Datei kann der Designer öffnen - und in den meisten Fällen kann ohne Nacharbeit oder Korrekturen sofort im Designer weitergearbeitet werden. Auch und erst recht bei mehrseitigen Dokumenten. So genannte "Personas", ich übersetze mir das als "Spezialfunktionen" bieten alle drei in den jeweiligen Anwendungen. Schicke Erweiterung für den Funktionsumfang im täglichen Workflow! / Bild-/Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de Originär ist der Designer ein Vektor-basiertes Werkzeug. Allerdings stoßen Vektorgrafiken immer wieder an Grenzen, somit werden "Mischgrafiken" gebraucht, die auch mit Pixeln arbeiten können. Nur so kommt die heutzutage gewöhnte "Realität" auch in kantenscharfe Vektorbilder. Affinity löst dies beim Designer durch eine Pixel Persona, eure Vektorgrafik wird in diese Spezialfunktion übernommen und kann nun mit speziellen Pixel-Ebenen und -Werkzeugen entsprechend überarbeitet oder ergänzt werden. Die dritte Persona ist der bekannte Export-Bereich, ihr habt hier wieder die Möglichkeit, auf alle Dateiformate zurückzugreifen. Aber Vorsicht: es ist kein CAD- oder Architekturwerkzeug, daher bleibt bei den bekannten Bild-Formaten. Was mir fehlt, ist eine Umwandlung in Vektorbilder. Ich brauche das nicht oft, aber wenn ich es benötige, geht es schon um Vorlagen, die man nicht unbedingt händisch nachziehen möchte! Eine passende Funktion versteckt sich nicht in den Menüs, auch in der Pixel-Persona konnte ich nichts finden. Ebenso würde ich mir eine Import-Funktion für bekannte Mitbewerber wünschen. Muss zwar für die "Vektorisierung" CorelDraw ganz hinten auf der Platte halten, aber blöd, dass ich das auch für die Umwandlung der Dateien brauche, wie zuvor beschrieben. Da ich mit Illustrator nie bis gar nicht gearbeitet habe, kann ich hier keine Parallelen ziehen. Was CorelDraw angeht, ist Corel eben ein paar Versionen und Reifungsgrade weiter - allerdings fühle ich mich bei der Oberfläche und den gebotenen Werkzeugen wohler als bei CorelDraw, trotz Jahre der Nutzung. 3. Publisher Wie schon ein paar mal erwähnt, hier kann ich am wenigsten sagen, da ich zuletzt mit Quark XPress auf einem Mac vor über zehn Jahren das letzte Mal echtes und druckbares Desktop Publishing gemacht habe. Ich habe seit 2004 meine Schwerpunkte von Print auf Web verändert, daher keine Entwicklungen bei InDesign oder Quark XPress verfolgt. ...und eine letzte, sogenannte "Personas", ich übersetze mir das als "Spezialfunktionen" bieten alle drei in den jeweiligen Anwendungen. Schicke Erweiterung für den Funktionsumfang im täglichen Workflow, hier von Designer! / Bild-/Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de Ich fange hier mit den Personas an, die Nutzern schnell sehr bekannt vorkommen: In Designer verstecken sich unter den Personas Photo als auch Designer. Somit habe ich die geballte Funktionsvielfalt der kompletten Suite in Designer mit einem Mausklick. Was mich ein wenig geärgert hat, ist die Tatsache, dass die Layouts und die zugrunde liegenden Seitenformatierungen sehr starr sind. Ich fertige hier meine monatlichen Mediadaten. Wenn ich nun die erste Seite in Form ihrer alleinstehenden Titelseite für meine 1. Seite nutze - analog zu letzter Seite, Seite 4 - bekomme ich diese im Druck immer und ausschließlich als A4-Seite gedruckt. Und die letzte auch so. Nur der Doppelbogen wird, wie gewünscht und angelegt, als zwei A5-Blätter auf einem A4-Blatt gedruckt. Das kenne ich von früher komfortabler. Dazu kleine Anekdote: Ihr habt vielleicht im obenstehenden Screenshot schon erkannt, dass ich meine Blog- und Podcast-Mediadaten mit dem Publisher mache. Praktisch und schick, nicht mit der früheren Notlösung "Word-Version" zu vergleichen. Allerdings, obwohl ich 1:1 die November-Final-Version verwendet habe, hatte ich im Druck und auch im PDF auf der linken äußeren Umschlagseite, also Seite 4 von 4, aus dem Nichts eine feine 1-Pixel-Linie. Für mich unerklärlich, erst recht, da sie im Layout am Bildschirm nicht zu finden war. Die Kernbestandteile des Layouts habe ich ohnehin gegen Veränderung geschützt, in erster Linie ersetze ich Zahlen und Fakten jeden Monat. Wo kommt also diese Linie her? Irgendwann spät abends dämmerte es mir: Das ist keine Linie, das gehört zu der Box, die auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, also Seite 1, ganz am linken Rand steht. Da hatte ich für die Dezember-Version ein wenig gespielt und optimiert - und siehe da, unbemerkt die Box um genau ein Pixel auf die gegenüberliegende Seite "geschoben". Nachdem ich es endlich gefunden hatte, war ich echt begeistert, über die absolute Genauigkeit des Publishers! Dafür bringt der Publisher eine schöne und fast fehlerfreie Import-Funktion von Word-Dokumenten, auch in Hinblick auf Fußnoten. Auch probeweise hat mich die mitgebrachte Inhaltsverzeichniserstellung überzeugt. Dies täuscht aber nicht darüber hinweg, dass die aktuelle Version noch nicht durch Plugins im Funktionsumfang erweitert werden kann. FAZIT: Wer also Bildbearbeitung, Vektorgrafiken und/oder Desktop-Publishing nicht nur vom Marktführer, sondern zu einem soliden Preis und dann ohne Abo haben möchte, aber auch vom Funktionsumfang nicht zurückstecken will, besucht die Affinity-Webseite. Ich habe mittlerweile Photoshop Elements, was mich die letzten Jahre jährlich die Kosten einer neuen Update-Version gekostet hat, komplett vom Rechner entfernt, die alte CorelDraw-Lizenz steht in den nächsten Wochen ebenfalls kurz davor. Ich bin bisher weder in Photo noch einem der beiden anderen Tools, wobei ich die nicht tagtäglich nutze, an Grenzen oder fehlende Funktionen gekommen. Allerdings klappt nicht alles so, wie ich es gewohnt bin bzw. bringt unerwartete Resultate. Klar ist auch, dass ich mich über durchdachte Bezahlversionen, die nichts zu Wünschen übrig lassen, freue. Erst recht zu diesem Preis - und mit Update-Garantie für die aktuelle Version. Schaut euch die drei Softwares mal an, würde mich nicht wundern, wenn die auch morgen plötzlich bei dir auf dem Rechner im Einsatz sind!

This episode of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick is chock full of recommendations straight from my writer's toolkit: the software and services I use day in / day out in my creative endeavors and in my work helping other creative writers. Also in the episode: more hints at what's to come for my patron member community, and a bit more on the situational depression that still lingers since the previous episode. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode Dynalist is my offboard brain, as well as my to-do list keeper and an excellent outliner. Simplicity makes it as complex as you want it to be. First on the list because it's my most valued tool. Notepad++ is a plain text editor on steroids... it's really "double plus good." Scrivener is accepted as the standard writer's outliner, word processor, asset organizer, and formatter... but its "everything and the kitchen sink" nature is exactly why I use it -- and recommend it -- only grudgingly. A free, much lighter, and more focused program is yWriter, which I find almost just right for the way I like to write. Here's an article I wrote about yWriter, especially as it compares to Scrivener. Try them both. Use them both! You may find one or both are just right for you. The free Q10 is my favorite full-screen, distraction-free plain text editor and the one writing tool with which I can most often slip into the coveted flow state. Highly recommended! There are many mind-mapping software options, some free, some not. None of them offer the simplicity and flexibility I find with Mindomo. Do you use a whiteboard? Do you wish you had a whiteboard with functionally infinite space and deep zoom? How about one on any of your devices? How about for free? Check out Excalidraw. Microsoft Word (and its attendant Microsoft Office suite, which apparently is now called Microsoft 365 or some such), is synonymous with word processing (and spreadsheets and so on). Did you know there's a completely free alternative that's also compatible with the offering from Redmond? Check out LibreOffice. You might not ever pay Microsoft a subscription fee again. Speaking of icky software-by-subscription attempted monopolies: When it comes to image creation and manipulation and desktop publishing, the Adobe suite of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are the assumed defaults. They can also be expensive..! While there are free alternatives for bitmap image editing and creation, vector image creation, and desktop publishing (GIMP, Inkscape, and Scribus, respectively), in my experience they're not quite ready for prime time. I use a for-pay suite of products that give the Adobe programs a run for their money... and cost far less of your money, too! Check out the Affinity applications Photo, Designer, and Publisher, and cancel your Adobe subscription! I use Affinity Publisher to design the interiors of paperback and hardcover books for myself and for clients. For e-books? While there are a number of "meatgrinder" solutions out there, I prefer the free, open source Sigil to create industry-standard EPUB e-books (suitable for any e-book reader / device / marketplace except Amazon, and capable of perfect conversion to the format(s) Amazon does use). We're in an era when being a writer also means being... a content creator. And that usually means recording, and editing, video. You can get away with the basics using the programs that came with your computer, or even simply using your phone. But when you want to take it up a notch and create professional grade, high definition videos... did you know there's a free tool that will let you do just that? Once again: there's no need to turn to an Adobe subscription or pay hundreds of dollars for a software license. The free version of DaVinci Resolve gives you everything you need... and lots of features and capabilities you might not realize you need to make really good looking videos. My latest non-fiction book is Indie Author Marketing Infrastructure, a distillation of some of what I teach when I coach new writers considering self-publishing. I mention the day job, which is helping authors, podcasters, and other creators bring their creative endeavors to fruition, to market, and to an audience. Can I help you? Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: "How It All Got Started" is my fiction serial set in the 1980s and delivered weekly, for free, to subscribers. Get in on it and start at the beginning! My patron community receives the uncut, unedited version of every episode. For this episode, they're privy to almost fifteen minutes of extra content! Want in on that? Become a patron for at least $5.00 per month (cancel any time) and get a bunch of other perks and special access, too. Around thirty people listen to each new episode of this show during the first week it's released. If most of the listeners became Exceptional patrons ($5.00 per month), patron revenue would surpass $100 per month, and I could begin donating 10% every month to 826 National in support of literacy and creative writing advocacy for children. Let's go! Oh, and speaking of patronage: This episode was made possible in part by the patronage of listeners like you, including J. C.  Hutchins, Ted Leonhardt, and Chuck Anderson!

Irgendwie sind wir schon immer noch 1985. Damals kam mit Aldus PageMaker 1.0 das erste flächendeckend eingesetzte Desktop-Publishing-Programm auf den Markt. Statt Formatierungscode einzutippen wie beim Satzsystem konnten plötzlich Rähmchen aufgezogen und mit Buchstaben oder Bildern gefüllt werden. Etwas aus der Metaebene betrachtet stehen wir immer noch da: auch in Adobe InDesign und Affinity Publisher ziehst du Rähmchen auf und füllst sie mit Inhalt.Sind da die reinen Cloud-Layoutwerkzeuge wie Canva oder Adobe Spark weiter? Für schnelle Entwürfe und Social-Media-Grafiken schon. Doch, wenn es um Typografie und Druck-PDF-Erstellung geht, fehlt noch viel.Ein weiterer Ansatz ist, das Layoutprogramm einfach zu überspringen und strukturierte Daten (XML oder HTML) mit Print CSS direkt als Print-Layout auszugeben (PDF). Was natürlich nur für wiederkehrende, strukturierte Layouts sinnvoll ist. Den Snowboard-Flyer mal ebenso in CSS zu schreiben wäre definitiv das falsche Werkezug am falschen Werkstück.So haben wir heute:Die klassischen DTP-Programme wie Adobe InDesign oder Affinity PublisherDie Cloud-Tools, welche sich für schnelle Design-Ideen und Social-Media-Grafiken eignenPrint CSS (CSS Paged Media Module), wo mit der Formatierungssprache CSS ein Print-Layout erstellt wirdUnd was haben wir morgen? Das ist aktuell nicht absehbar. Einig sind sich Bernd und Haeme, dass Print CSS für die automatisierte Produktion das Layoutprogramm immer mehr verdrängt und dass in die Cloud-Tools noch ziemlich viel Technologie einfliessen muss, bis sie ernsthaft für “druckbare” Drucksachen hergenommen werden können.Willst du Bernd und Haeme herausfordern? Hast du ein Thema, worüber die beiden eine jabberfish-Folge diskutieren können? Nichts wie in die Tasten hauen und senden an team@jabberfish.de

Serif's Affinity division has released updated versions of Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher. Despite the low prices of these applications, they pack surprisingly robust feature sets. In Short Circuits: Scammers stay up to date on news, and COVID-19 has been profitable for them. So profitable that Medicare and the Centers for Disease Control have launched a campaign to explain how contact tracing works and, just as important, how to spot a fake. • Has Microsoft set your default browser to Edge, or has something changed your preferred search engine? If so, it's an easy fix and I'll explain how for the three major browsers. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Adobe's free Photoshop Camera app for Android and IOS devices keeps getting better with the addition of free lenses that modify images taken with the app. • Acronis TrueImage 2021 doubles down on security measures with tools that scan for viruses, watch for malware, and use artificial intelligence to identify attacks before they can do damage. • Twenty years ago: A 19-inch monitor seemed gigantic, but flat-panel monitors were prohibitively expensive and those big cathode-ray tube screens left little space on the desk.

After Show: Apple TV+ shows, Affinity Publisher, Spectre, Moleskin notes and Home Pod. Special Guests: Alexis Gallagher and Mike Vinakmens.

New projects sometimes require new tools. Jerzy and Rob explore what illustration and design tools we’re finding useful of late and in what situations are we "hiring" them to get stuff done.

Powerful features and low cost are rarely features of a single computer application. Normally you get one or the other but software developer Serif is trying to provide both in its new series of Affinity products. In Short Circuits: Adobe has added several new features to its photographic applications and has updated many others. The result is one you'll like. If you'd like to frighten yourself, have your Wi-Fi router send a copy of its latest status report to you. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Small improvements can make big differences in your photographs and I'll show you one that's both easy and dramatic. • If you have some old computer gear that is no longer in service, taking it for a short drive to Newark next weekend would be a good idea.

If you're struggling with Microsoft Word or Publisher to create newsletters and other publications, Affinity Publisher might be just what you need. Surprisingly, it's also good for much larger documents. In Short Circuits: As a follow-up to this week's review of Affinity Publisher, let's take a look back at how much publishing has changed since the mid-1980s when the first electronic typesetting applications came to desktop computers. If you sometimes see page not found errors when you try to connect to a website, it's not your fault. It is, however, something you can fix. In Spare Parts (only on the website): As useful as Google Backup and Sync is, sometimes it doesn't sync or back up and you'll have to find a way to fix it. • Mobile internet speeds in the United States are improving, but we we're still in 40th place worldwide.

Show Notes A 11 EM adásban túléltük a karácsony és a szilveszter megpróbáltatásait. Beszélünk kicsit az nVidia GForece Now-ról, kitárgyaljuk a bankokkal szerzett rossz tapasztalatainkat. Megemlítjük a két új ígéretes szolgáltatást, a Revolutot és a Transferwise-t. Soma digitalizálta az összes fontos papírját, majd VeraCrypt-tel letitkosította ezeket egy meghajtóra. Beszélünk picit az Affinity termékeiről, és hogy hogyan tudta Soma két Adobe termékét is kiváltani egy Affinity Designer nevű csodával. Beszélünk picit az olvasási szokásainkról, és arról, hogy ki mit olvas majd idén. Máté beszél majd jó könyvekről és szóba kerül majd a Get things done is. (Amiből Lali ki van ábrándulva…) Csatlakozzatok Telegram közösségünkhöz! Lalit @diwiny_ néven, Somát @szs0ma és Mátét @m4ttty néven éritek el twitteren.

My iThoughts tutorial for ScreenCasts Online is up and I'm really proud of it. I give Affinity Publisher beta a first look. I've found the perfect fan - the Rowenta VU2660 (and I throw in a heat transfer lesson for free). I'll tell you how Scanner Pro from Readdle might make me not hate scanning. I've got 10 reasons to get an Apple Watch.
