If you switch from Publisher Persona to Photo Persona you can take advantage of powerful photo editing tools and techniques to correct or enhance the image content in your publication.
Here's a quick overview of some ideas you could adopt uniquely with Photo Persona. You'll need to have the same version of Affinity Photo 2 as Publisher 2 for this Persona to become active.
Photo Persona offers a professional Paint Brush Tool backed up with a range of pixel brushes.
Example: Instead of adding a uniformly colored page background you could apply a brushed texture to your foreword page or section start master page.
Making brush-based pixel selections on an image lets you cut out subject matter from the image background perfectly.
Example: For magazine work, you can cut out your front cover image's main subject while discarding its background.
For correcting or creatively enhancing images you can access Photo Persona's live filters; as they're non-destructive you can adjust filter settings at any later date.
Example (corrective): As a finishing touch, add an extra level of image sharpening to your image by applying an Unsharp Mask live filter.
Example (creative): You can make an image stand out from the page more by applying a Gaussian Blur live filter selectively to the image's background.
