The addon scripts I used very often were: And it has functions that I miss in the Affinity Suite: The features that I mainly used and still use are the preview modes including all forms of color blindness and the scripts that are added. I am used to use Scribus for about five to eight years now. Graphic formats which can be placed in Scribus as images include PDF, Encapsulated Post Script (eps), TIFF, JPEG, PNG and XPix Map(xpm), and any bitmap type supported by QT3.In my opinion I prefer the full support of sla files or an import/export filter for them.

Scribus supports professional DTP features, such as CMYK color and a color management system to soft proof images for high quality color printing, flexible PDF creation options, Encapsulated Post Script import/export and creation of 4 color separations, import of EPS/PS and SVG as native vector graphics, Unicode text including right to left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew via freetype. It can be used for many tasks from brochure design to newspapers, magazines, newsletters and posters to technical documentation. Scribus is a desktop publishing program with the aim of producing commercial grade output in PDF and Postscript.
