This is a baseline, standard feature of masking. Given that Affinity has the ability to mask, you would think this would come with it

Ive used this same kind of thing I am requesting in photoshop with great success. You zoom in, you clearly see a red overlay mask against the image underneath, so you can paint with pixel precision. I am shocked its not a feature of Affinity

Ok...thanks...but I want to be able to bring up that overall red mask and see where I finely missed, or need to paint back in (as saturation can be hard to see in some cases)....is that not possible in Affinity?

Coming from photoshop here..... In this image I added a saturation layer, completely desaturated and I want to paint it back in on the computer hardware. When I press "Q" the mask is just fully red. I cannot actually see my paint marks to be more accurate? How the hell do I see this!?

Really? In a layer based editor? I perform the flatten task about 2-3 times per photo, in my particular workflow and did the same thing in Photoshop. Photoshop's layer's panel of course has the function https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/how-do-i/9781457189630/Images/f0131-01.jpg

Came here to write this exact thing. Why flatten doesn't exist in the layers area is shocking to be honest!

Document is left open yes - I just command+Q to quit. Reopen Publisher and its a totally blank environment.

In publisher settings, I have open recent documents. When opening Publisher, no recent documents (last one) open. Publisher 1.8.3 OS X 10.15.4 (19E287)

Hey everyone! I am coming into Affinity products after 13 years of adobe. I primarily use photo editing (Photoshop, Affinity Photo) but have dabbled in vector / logo creation in illustrator over the years. I know I can do this in Affinity Designer, and the sale right now is very enticing, however - am I correct in assuming that with affinity photo and text/fonts and exporting to PDF's, you can choose to not rasterize anything and have full vector/shape output? Or if you have something on your canvas you can convert to shape? Basically for very very simplistic logo needs, affinity photo can output vectors? Thanks for any insight! Loving the application so far
