Significant improvements and new practical functions must be released with version 2.0 for it to be worth buying the new version. It is important that the export quality of PNG and JPG is improved! However, everyone should decide for themselves whether to buy new software version or not.

@Patrick Connor I bought Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher and Affinity Photo from Microsoft Store. I expect all future updates to have been delivered to me from Microsoft Store!

I have found that if one disables OpenGL, the performance of Affninty Photo is better.

The system load caused by Affinity Photo RAW is simply extremely high!

I cannot make the pictures available to you. Try opening any pictures at the same time. No matter which ones, Photo crashes. I have Affinity Photo from Windows Store, use Windows 11. There are free apps that offer much better RAW development. And DxO, for example, is miles better and more powerful than Affinity Photo.

I tried to open 3 RAW files in Affinity Photo at the same time to develop them. Affinity Photo crashed immediately!

Where is this button?

How can I set text frames to white in Affinity Designer? In my case the text frame is suddenly in pink color.

Genau, bei mir gibt es keinen Eintrag Textrahmen. Affinity Designer aus Microsoft Store.

Hello, has the panel "Text frame" disappeared? There is no entry in View Studio. https://affinity.help/publisher/de.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Panels/textFramePanel.html?title=Das "Text frame" panel How can I change background color for text? Thanks.

Unfortunately, even free Inkscape can export better PNG, JPG than Affinity Designer. I would like to refer to this discussion:

Here is an example of how free Inkscape can export the PNG. The quality of the export is much better than with Affinity Designer. In this respect, Affinity should really improve this.

I tried the new version of Inkscape, it offers a very good vectorisation of PNG. Inkscape is a very good and free software.

It's horrible !!! Really disillusioned and disappointed !!!

I don't currently plan to use Illustrator. There are an extensive number of vector brushes for Illustrator on the internet. These are vector graphics. It's really bad that in Affinity Designer the vector brushes don't make real vectors that you can export as a vector file. A very big disadvantage.
