Thank you so much @Andy Somerfield for adding the stepper controls to the refine panels.  I am really grateful and very thankful 😀 Very much appreciated.

Hmmm!!  @MattP. Did you just leak some info in the video?  I can see "Designer MacOS Beta" in the background or am I seeing stars?   Is there re-branding or perhaps Designer based on MacOS Catalyst?

Please, let us be greatful for the work Serif Dev team are doing. Yes, all of our desired features may not be in at the moment but with time, I am sure they will get there.  Photoshop has 20+ years of lead and it's still buggy and laggy.

Have you tried PDF Expert ?  It's very light weight and does a pretty good job.  I have been using the Mac version since release 1.0 and I can't complain.

Hi Mark,
So what is the "actual direction of the products" now?  I think as customers of Serif, it would not be out of character to want to know what is on the "roadmap".
Kind Regards,
Nana

Thanks.  Designer 1.7.1 is already in app store.

Hi Serif Staff,
Reading between the lines from the current Publisher pre-order email sent out, it suggests that Serif would prefer users to purchase from their own Serif App Store than the Apple App Store.   I can see the advantage in doing that.  For example, it helps to break away from Apple's strict sandboxing of application that is plaguing some plugins.
My question is, would Serif consider helping existing Apple store users to move to your Serif App Store version given that Apple store users have already paid for the app?  I am talking from the view of Photo and Designer MacOS apps in particular.
It doesn't make sense to run some Serif apps under Apple sandboxing while Publisher does not.  I can foresee this leading to some issues.  I would prefer that all three apps (Designer, Photo and Publisher) run as the Serif App Store version.
So if Serif would consider either issuing existing Mac App store new licenses to help migrating from the Apple Mac Apps store or even at a significant discount (after all, the Mac Apps store users have already paid for the apps).
I would be interested in your response.
Thank you.

Oh, Noooooo! How could Serif be so generous as to grant holidays to @MattP when Designer is not GM yet ?   Wake up MattP.  It's time to code and not to sleep.   We need Designer and Publisher GM so badly.  You can do it, MattP. 

Congratulations @Andy Somerfield and team.  Great work, guys and Photo 1.7 is a much better product compared to 1.6.   When I saw Andy S release new beta version almost on a daily basis, I knew he was up to something and now we have a GM release.
Thank you so much.  You can have a well deserved break this weekend before WWDC.
I look forward to 1.7.1 beta with all the accessibility issues fixed (I am talking about adding up and down arrows buttons next to sliders for filters, adjustment layers, etc.  This has been done in the Tone Mapping persona but not other places).
In all, I am very pleased with 1.7 release and you and your team have achieved alot just looking at the change log.
Thanks again.
