I don’t know if it’s true, but I think so. KARSTEN: Yeah, it’s like an art school in Switzerland, but I don’t know which one. So, we got cut off, but you were just saying a studio or a school in… Well, you can say it. KARSTEN: So, people are, I think, opening up toward other options.ĭAVID: Yeah, we’re having some, I don’t know if it’s iShowU Studio or Catalina issues, but something just sometimes, or the Air Pod things, but okay. So, the idea is just Adobe is estranged, as there is just Microsoft, for example, for Office programs. KARSTEN: And that’s kind of how today’s publishing environments work. KARSTEN: Switching over and also probably just working with several solutions, next to each other. QUARKXPRESS AND MORE FILE TYPES, using IDMarkz.ĭAVID: So, this can just fit right into workflows, where people are either dabbling or switching over to other DTP applications. QuarkXPress already has an IDML importer… Right, and you know Affinity’s working on an IDML importer to Publisher,…ĭAVID: … and Quark already has one. I want to add some styles or whatever.” And you can do that, but a lot of things are truly taken apart properly from the document and put in, together anew, by IDMarkz, and that’s fantastic!ĭAVID: Right. So, people will have to carefully make a check on the document, once it’s converted, and say, “Is everything the way I want it? I probably want to add some guides or something like this, in the layout. And it’s very sophisticated, already, but there always are differences between the platforms. So, you always have to think the conversion is the best thing possible. There are, obviously, some things it will not be able to do. And, because it’s quite reliable, as far as I tested it, so far. I think that will answer a lot of questions, for a lot of people. So, you have an InDesign product, you have an InDesign document, and you can just open it, even if you do not have a current InDesign subscription. I have a few documents to make per year, and it doesn’t make any sense to have a subscription.īut what I see happening and I see people frustrated, because they were kind of locked in, now, obviously in Adobe products, as they, in earlier days, were locked into the dongle modes of QuarkXPress, and all these specific file formats, and people are fed up with these closed systems and what IDMarkz now does is to open up this world to a range of possibilities. So, the subscription model simply didn’t work for much. KARSTEN: For my workflows, which is very… I don’t use it very much. And I switched, lately, from Adobe products entirely to Affinity products. It’s not just XPress, you know, there are a range of other programs I’ve been using.
#VIVADESIGNER REVIEW SOFTWARE#
So, as a distributor, I’m more focused on serving people with solutions, as actually using them, but I worked over time with, I think, at least eight or nine different, totally different, desktop publishing software solutions, so, on all kinds of platforms, and that’s a lot.Īnd it’s not just InDesign. And I think you know, because I’m not in a daily production environment.
KARSTEN: Oh, amazing! It’s the next big thing. Yeah, we’re very excited about this product and what I’m going to do now is throw it back over to Karsten and my first question to you, Karsten is, “What’s your first impression of using IDMarkz?” That’s what people like about Markzware, over the years, for sure. And these are the kind of products I prefer, because it’s very clear what they do, and they do it very well.ĭAVID: Yeah. KARSTEN: And the Markzware products are just products, which are easy, very well focused. So, what I do is make the solutions for customers and a lot of my work is aimed at image manipulation, or image data, metadata, and everything, which is loosely connected to the graphic industry, and help people just get their jobs done. And, so, I’m a FileMaker programmer and this is an important part of my work.
So, I worked as a typographer and did all kind of graphic works, but quickly moved into software support and software distribution, and something which I’m still doing, now enhanced with database programming. I’m very happy to do so.Īnd I have a background in the graphic industry. So, it’s like 20 years, or something like this, that I’m distributing Markzware products and I still do. So, I’m, let’s say, the connection with Markzware is a long-term one. It’ll be coming out soon, but before we jump into that, Karsten, maybe you can tell the viewers a little bit about who you are and what you do. It’s a product that is actually still in beta, for Markzware, a new product.
