"Affinity Publisher" (hereinafter referred to as "Publisher") has brought a new and concise style to desktop publishing. Whether you want to produce a company newsletter, a community garbage sorting brochure, or turn your own epic masterpiece into a large book with thousands of pages, this multi-functional page layout App "Affinity Publisher" can make it easy for you to handle Title, text, illustrations and photos to complete your design masterpiece.
On a Mac equipped with the Apple M1 chip, whether it is "Affinity Publisher", "Affinity Designer" or "Affinity Photo", it runs much faster than before.
The developers of the Serif team found that the M1 chip tripled the running speed of the App, making the overall experience smoother and more responsive. "We don't need to transfer data between CPU and GPU, which is very important for any image design software." said Ashley Hewson, executive director of Serif, "especially when dealing with complex layers, vector materials, and text. At the time of documentation, the M1 chip is much faster. It is the ideal architecture for our kind of software."
