I have used Affinity Photo almost since it first came out. I appreciate that it isn't s subscription based software and for the most part it meets my needs. With that being said, I can easily agree with some of the points being made here, especially about the weak raw develop 'persona' and lack of photo management catalogue. And yes, the icons look silly and confusing to new users.

As a nature/landscape photographer who has no interest in design or publishing software I see absolutely no up-side to this takeover. I enjoy editing my photos in Affinity but now I'm concerned that a company like Canva is going to royally mess up that experience for me.

Wow! Another very useful macro. Many thanks. I was using a different method for creating a moveable vignette and honestly it was a pain. Maybe something else to mention is that, when adjusting the gaussian blur layer to get the feathering right, some people might not realize that we can go beyond just cranking the slider to the end by just typing in a higher px. value for the radius. I like a very subtle vignette so this is useful to me. Thanks again, smadell!

Thank you, smadell! Looking forward to trying these.

Well I've tried several workarounds for batch processing raw files for use in Panos and focus merges but this method is outstanding. Thank you and well done!

I would strongly encourage you to work with raw files for anything you wish to process beyond just the very basic adjustments.

I saw that too! I had been trying to figure out a way to do that for quite a long time.

Awesome James! Best tutorials ever.

I've been using Affinity Photo for about four years and I actually would have paid more for the new version. It's by far the best deal out there. My wife is going to dump Adobe and buy the whole suite for her work.

LOL! Wow, I can't believe some of the petty complaints here. I'm very happy with it so far, especially the non-destructive raw editing.

Thank you, floresco. Looking forward to trying some of these.

Awesome! Thank you, Jowday.

May I ask where you got your Kodak film emulation LUTs and if you're happy with them? I've been wanting to try some of those.

I've been using Raw Therapee and I must say I'm very impressed, especially for a totally free software. You can even set it up so that it will open your raw processed image in Affinity so you can continue editing there, without the need for exporting, closing and then driving to it from AP.

I guess another item for my wishlist would be full screen preview... Not a big deal but it would be nice.
