Great suggestion, thank you, R C-R. I'll give it a try.

Thank you, Dan C. It's reassuring to know I'm not missing anything. Fingers crossed that compression options are implemented sooner rather than later in AP.

With MacOS Catalina around the corner, I’m preparing to move from Photoshop CS5 to Affinity Photo, for which I bought a license some time ago. When I prepare a .png for my website, I’m finding that .pngs exported from AP are bigger than their equivalents from Photoshop (eg 366 KB vs 330 KB). Most of my work is in greyscale and I’ve configured AP’s png export options like this: Pixel format: Grayscale 8-bit Resampler: Bilinear Matte: None ICC profile: Generic Gray Profile Embed ICC Profile: unticked Palettised: unticked Embed metadata: unticked Why are AP’s file sizes larger than Photoshop’s, and is there a way of configuring AP to export smaller .pngs? I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks in advance.

Trying to keep this question alive in the hope of a response from the developers.

So any more news on this? I've just downloaded the new release and I can find no trace of Photoshop import filters. Will they be included in a future release? I'd really like to know.

That's interesting. So does that mean you're bypassing VueScan and using different application? I'm using a ScanMaker 9800XL so VueScan is my only option.

I did, and I'm afraid it doesn't work. I've been in touch with Ed Hamrick, who developed VueScan, and he mentioned the need for Photoshop import filters. I think that VueScan is very widely used and I'm hoping that providing the support won't be a big task.

My number 1 feature request would be support for Photoshop import filters so that I can import directly from my scanner using VueScan.

Alex, thank you for both your welcome and your advice. Issue resolved :-) Philip

Hi. I've just bought Photo with a view to migrating from Photoshop, which I've been using for years. One of the things I do a lot in Photoshop is select the whole image (Cmd-a) and then shift it one pixel at a time using the arrow keys. When I try to do this in Affinity Photo, the marquee hardly moves at all when using the up or left arrow keys. If I keep the keys depressed, it finally begins to shift. But what I want to do is move it one pixel at a time. Surely this should be possible? I'd appreciate some advice here. Thanks Philip
