How To Create Fabulous Book Covers in Affinity Photo Using PS Smart Objects or Affinity Embedded Doc
Channel: Affinity Inspiration
Date: 2020-12-31

Using Cover Templates that are made for Photoshop in InDesign is really easy. The PSD files are compatible in their IDML form with Affinity Photo, and nearly as easy in Affinity Designer. Simply load the PSD into Affinity Photo and place your example image into the Smart Layer. If you re really adventurous you can begin building your own Affinity Embedded Documents. The same thing as it happens.
