[Curves Disappearing After Selection]

I can see exactly what you mean @JeffreyDriver, and this doesn't solve your problem entirely, but...

The pen tool in Affinity Photo is, as I understand it, geared towards drawing vector shapes or "Curves", not "Paths" à la Adobe Photoshop. The help page for the Pen tool explicitly states that the Selection button "converts the shape into a selection" - that's the way it's meant to work. 

 I can think of a workaround but it's probably not ideal for you. Give the Curve a fill (I think it has to be a solid colour), drag the Curve layer below the image layer, then Cmd-Click (Mac) on the Curve thumbnail in the Layers panel. This will create a selection from the pixels in the curve, while leaving the curve intact. But admittedly it doesn't save a lot of time.

 

ADD...

Affinity Photo is, I think, more geared to using direct selection methods to isolate image elements from backgrounds. If you use the direct selection tools as opposed to the pen, you can save any number of different selections as spare channels, and reload them as required.

1 ) Draw your curves.

2) Give the Curve a fill

3) - make opacity 0 %, 

4) Cmd-Click (Mac) on the Curve thumbnail in the Layers panel. This will create a selection from the pixels in the curve, while leaving the curve intact.

5) - Give a name to your Curves.

That way you can keep your curves like photoshop paths.

[Recolor Artwork]

I agree Rotem. After "Recolor Artwork" function come up create many colour variations much faster and more harmonic become a reality.

Affinity in some point of the future has to add similar or better function to be able to keep competitive edge.

This feature is from illustrator (i used cs4).
this is very powerful features which allow to re-color any part of an object: symbols, shapes, groups etc'

It shows the user all the color used, and let him modify any of them.

saves the user time of selecting objects and sub object individually.
Attaching pic.

also the ability to make  a keyboard short cut to it is vey important.

I'm very miss this thing.

 

Thanks,

Rotem.

Hi,

I'm new to Affinity and don't find "New layer via cut", or "new layer via copy" (PS equivalent)

Me too.
