No, I have not seen a physical book so have not dealt with any of the project files. Serif has stated they ain't gonna release electronic versions.no matter the image resolution. I would also argue that for this purpose, the text instructions are paramount. But I did mention they could as well be 150 dpi, eh? That should allow for a zoom of 150-200%. Screen resolution is sufficient to compare on-screen. But thanks for your attempt to obfuscate. What I called the workbooks isn't important. Manuals, workbook, teaching aide, whatever. Of course, they could sell electronically distributed virtual versions of the workbooks with low resolution images to keep the file size down, but they would not provide this & I doubt many users would find them anywhere near as useful. This is so users can compare the book's images side-by-side to what they see on screen or to their own printed out versions, which among other things provides a standard for comparison that is constant regardless of their monitor or printer characteristics. They do include a brief introductory section that covers the basics but their primary focus is on teaching users how to use the software to achieve specific end results via a series of 'learn by doing' projects, with much of the projects' content presented in high resolution printed images. The Affinity workbooks are not product manuals. And speaking of Acrobat, the same thing can be done to the very pfds used to print the workbook, including cropping the pages. I cannot imagine either workbook would be larger than 5 megs. Even so, it should then be ran through Acrobat to optimize it. PagePlus, which did the first two workbooks (I really hope Serif is attempting to use APub for its workbook) can also as easily produce a screen version and it wouldn't be a big pdf. However, your second paragraph is a bogus issue. The passwords to open the pdf would need to be communicated to the end user and likely would be passed along as well. It takes strong pdf open passwords to secure a pdf. Yes, pdf permissions passwords can be removed in less than 1 second. Those books have seriously been an invaluable asset and I will highly recommend them to anybody.The only way I know to 'lock down' a PDF is with a password but pirates could post them on the web so that would not be very effective.īesides, the workbooks include a lot of images printed at high resolutions, so the file size of a PDF version would probably be too massive for most users to want to download & store on their drives. And I’ve also found that if I get stumped (especially with photo), I can usually relate what’s holding me back to something that was gone over in the book, and I’m able to go back and look through that particular project and get the answer I’m looking for. The step by step instructions for the projects make it easy to sort of cement the steps in your brain. I don’t know maybe it’s my style of learning but the Affinity workbooks were a huge part in me mastering the programs. Every year when they come out with updates, pretty soon after the classroom in a book series comes out with an updated version, and every year I buy one. Now I’m definitely a huge fan of workbooks for computer programs, IE the classroom in a book series for the Adobe Creative Cloud programs. I think so man I have both and I honestly learned SO much from them.
