Hey Affinity, I've been using both Designer & Photo since its beta and I really enjoy it. I have gained nothing but enjoyment and happiness using your software and the progress you make. My only concern about Photo is the lack of smart objects. I understand there's a few posts from last year that mention them, but I'm not sure where this feature sits on your list of things to do as I couldn't see it on either of the roadmaps. It's basically the only thing I need Photoshop for at this point. Ability to read .PSD with Smart Objects instead of flattening the file into a pixel layer. Smart Objects This would be amazing, and I know that I'm not the only person that use mockups with this feature. I tend to make my own, but sometimes it's more suitable to use an existing one, which is made using Photoshop. I understand you aren't Adobe, so I'm unsure what you can and can't do, so even if the feature works in it's own way, I would be overjoyed. Keep up the good work Affinity, Cheers, Lachlan

I've managed to rotate my RAWs by following these steps: 1. Drop RAW into Affinity Designer. 2. Crop Tool © 3. Rotate Image manually, (Mouse over the corner of the crop box) hold shift if you need to snap it. 4. Click Rotate once from the top navigation. 5. Select View Tool (h) It's a little tedious, but until they fix the problems, this should do the job just fine.
