“With people’s budgets increasingly stretched, this is the ideal opportunity to buy, whether you want to complete the Affinity collection, add some of the amazing content packs, or maybe jump on board with us for the first time.” Serif managing director Ashley Hewson says: “The last time we offered a discount this substantial was during our campaign to support creative industries through the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The price reduction applies to Affinity products on Mac, PC and iPad, as well as creative add-ons such as brush packs, macros and filters in the Affinity Store. Individually, the power of Affinity apps enables you to create more, quicker, while together the complete Affinity suite delivers unrivalled integration across all three apps. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up Affinity Photo for image editing, Affinity Designer for graphic design or Affinity Publisher for page layout. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high.
We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.
The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
