I've also started using Affinity Publisher. Aside from lack of GREP support, I am very pleased with it. Since I'm mostly setting up graphics-intensive brochures and books/magazines, the GPU acceleration is critical. It isn't too much of a leap going from InDesign to Affinity, usage-wise, and is pretty intuitive. I am very happy with the purchase, especially since I got it for 50% off. Maybe if more people mention positive experiences with Affinity, Adobe will finally respond to this aging thread?

Oh, lest I forget - I've never experienced slowdowns or corrupted preferences with Affinity. On my home system (Threadripper 2950X, 128GB DDR4, dual RTX20280s, boot/app/temp storage 3 Samsung Pro 970 1TB) Affinity takes less than 5 seconds to load. InDesign takes about 45s to a minute. Not too big a deal. But... It takes my work system (i7 9700K, 32GB DDR4, GTX1060 6GB, Samsung Pro 970 1TB) about 5-10 minutes to open InDesign and have it responsive. Affinity? 5 seconds. It takes only about 45 seconds to open InDesign if I do a fresh install, but it immediately resumes its terrible behavior upon reopening. Even without customized preferences, they get corrupted. I don't know why preferences get corrupted in the first place. Is there something inherently abstruse about the method for their implementation, such that mere mortals cannot fathom how to create stable customization? Maybe Adobe can spend some resources that they aren't directing to the problems of Windows users toward fixing the preferences problem? GPU acceleration, Preferences, something? No? At least the apps' splash screens are pretty.

I have tried Affinity Publisher few days ago....guys, amazing speed with full resolution images, no low-res preview mode. There is only one reason why I must use InDesign....database publishing provided by 65bit easycatalog plug-in:-(

No feedback from Adobe for question about GPU support???? Nice care about customers! :-( InDesign 2021??? Nice joke :-))))))) I´m laughing after I read "What´s new" :-))

Here's to 3 years of waiting, and counting, for Adobe to even acknowledge the existence of this thread... I guess Windows users should be grateful we aren't still running PageMaker 6.5?

GPU acceleration - using a graphics card to do graphics-intensive tasks that the CPU would otherwise have to do - has transformed 3D and compositing on desktop and laptop computers. Here's a short video from Eyon that illustrates this and is a good primer for anyone unfamiliar with the concept.

Still waiting. Still slow. Now it isn't even supported on 2020 mac???

Hey Adobe, why does "Scrubby" Zoom work perfectly fine in Photoshop and Illustrator on Windows 10, but InDesign gets left in laggy land? GPU obviously isn't the issue...

I’m impressed, I must say. Genuinely rarely can i encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the issue is something that too little individuals are speaking intelligently about.

Please, we need this. Now more than ever.

Hi Adobe, GO FIX!

Already 3,5 yrs available on Mac and still not on Windows.

I do not believe Windows userbase is that much smaller or less relevant... is it? Well Adobe seems to think so.

Seriously.... Developers...... WHAT!!!!!!!! Give me a good reason why there isn't Scrubby Zoom on Windows. Please! Just one good reason. When you find out you don't have any good reasons. Please add Scrubby Zoom asap.

Sincerely,

a paying customer

come on Adobe, your being lazy, you very much know us students are a large part of your investments plz don't let us down, bring the scrubby zoom now, its about time, shape up, or mess up, it's 2020, and competition is hotter than ever, don't get caught slipping or else you'll fall out the race, your not the only one anymore, just remember that.

Thanks for taking the time to share with us such a great article. I really appreciate your work.

Discovered this morning that Microsoft Publisher has graphics acceleration. MICROSOFT PUBLISHER!!!! Why does this suggestion not even have a response from Adobe?

+1
as usual, Adobe seems to never use its own software.

I didn't know this wasn't available on Windows until I started working from home. Mac has a nice refined zoom tool for all Adobe software and Windows has it for every Adobe program EXCEPT InDesign. Why is that? The zoom tool in InDesign is currently clunky and annoying.

This is becoming more and more necessary as the files we use are increasing in resolution. Some of my layouts that include large vectors or big images are almost impossible to navigate, while my powerful GPU sits by doing nothing! Unacceptable.

It frustrates me that Adobe can roll out a UI refresh to make CC look like macOS Big Sur within days of the announcement, but for years we've had buggy inconsistent scaling and GPU performance on Windows. I can't think of any InDesign features added since CS6 that I couldn't live without. GPU acceleration is the SINGLE feature that would transform the experience to match that of the £49 Affinity Publisher.

I hope this will change but with the development needed for ARM based macs, I suspect we'll be waiting a long time for any love on Windows. Prove me wrong Adobe, please.
