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
