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

Hi Frank,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Currently it's not possible to rotate the image in the Develop Persona.
The commands were already there but they were removed at the last minute due to some issues with the code.
This will be fixed soon and made available again in one of the next updates.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
