...is still there, and the UI is just amateur hour, with overly rounded corners that cut the edges off palette icon buttons etc.
So, I guess I'm just sticking with the V2 products, and we'll see if Canva responds to the bug report.

Serif / Affinity is one of those rare companies that's able to write user applications that can kernel panic a mac. Their apps' palettes change size on their own by single digit pixels. Their apps don't correctly handle screen connectivity changes, and even with their studio presets, the tools palette doesn't get captured by that function...
So, I'm not inclined to just take it on faith that it's a "safe" install.
As far as I can see, palettes, etc. stay in the same place from studio to studio unless you move them yourself. It's more about what's switched on and off between studios. And you can create your own bespoke studios if you wish, anyway, so it's entirely up to you how you lay them out.
Right, so from that it sounds like it's not like the experience of V2 switching between Photo and Developer.

]]>For example;
- when switching modes between photo and layout, do your palettes all shift to different positions you can set specific or the mode, like they did in photo 2 when you switched to raw development mode? Or does it keep the same palette positions / functions, unless you manually change them through a studio preset?
I use a three display system, in photo my text palettes are on the left screen, image palettes on the right. In publisher, I reverse that, because text stuff is the primary toolset for that app.
]]>V3 has everything that V2 had and more - it's an upgrade, not a downgrade. It will work alongside V2, but files saved in V3 are not backwards compatible. Some features have moved in the UI, but they are all there. Yes, the studios are customisable.

]]>Just wondering if anyone has migrated from Publisher to Studio, and is using it for (just) DTP / Publisher substitute workflow.
Is there anything that Studio lacks that Publisher has, or can you set it up to be effectively the same app (including UI customisability)?
My thoughts were that I would use it exclusively as a DTP app, and keep Photo V2 (or maybe the much nicer V1) as an image editor.
I'm finding enough annoyances with unfixed bugs in Publisher, that I can't really keep using it long-term.
Thanks.
