My use case is for editing the device mockups that can be found around the net in Photoshop PSD format but not others. They often make use of the Smart Objects feature the Adobe app to make placing the "screen" in the virtual device a lot quicker. Support for at least opening the layers within a smart object would be wonderful in Affinity Photo.
Currently I can usually get most of the way there by manually getting the projection right with Filter > Distort > Perspective but on some files, I can't omit other layers because some of the device itself is within a smart object. For instance, on one there's a shadow added that I don't want. Supporting Smart Objects would make this easier and more flexible.
Hi Pixelian,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
No, not yet. Without warp and perspective distortion tools in Designer we are limited to some very basic distortion operations (skewing basically).
So unless the image is an axonometric projection there's no way to fit a logo correctly. Things will get easier as soon as we have those tools available.
