The current preview is not there yet. Developers call this a MVP - Minimal Viable Product. Read up on it here:

To use that analogy: users ask for a flying DeLorean, but get a hover board first. It kinda works, users won't exactly be happy about it, but at least it is a functional initial implementation.
To me this Preview option in the Export Settings is rather more comparable to a regular skateboard with wheels - barely functional, but it will appease users to wait for the next stage of implementation.
Not "quite there yet". At least it's a start, and hopefully by version 2.0 the export persona will have been updated with similar controls as @madonnaragu would like to see (and the rest of us). We will just have to be patient until the devs get to the flying DeLorean stage
In the meantime, use ColorQuantizer for near-perfect PNG optimization and more bells and whistles and control than any other software, free or paid!

Of course, I completely agree. The only problem is that it looks that this feature has been in the works for years now, so how many more years will it take to get a proper, professional export preview?

If you want to test it while it’s still in beta, the only way you could do so is to purchase the current retail version: buying from the Affinity Store would mean you’d be covered by their 14-day ‘no quibble’ money back guarantee. Otherwise, wait until version 1.9 has been released to retail.
I see. Thank you!

The betas are available from the Beta forums, usually as a pinned post at the top of the relevant forum. They install separately from the retail versions, with separate settings, etc. Please read the warnings associated with them; they are for testing, not production work.
I get that - but I can't use my non-beta trial key to activate the beta. How can I test it?

Hi,
Is there really still no preview?
How can I test the beta?

Hi,
I am looking for replacements for Adobe's apps, and it seems the Affinity apps are a great answer to Adobe's greedy subscription model. I have some questions, though and I hope you can help me. 😊
- Where is export preview? I see export, but there's no preview. I can't see options for matte, transparency, etc.
- It seems there's a lot of overlap between Photo/Designer/Publisher. I tested one file containing bitmap images and vectors, exported from Adobe Fireworks as PSD, and all three seem to open it and are able to manipulate it. Is there a comparison of their features somewhere? Is there something that one of these can do that the others can't?
- It looks like Designer is the closest alternative to Adobe Fireworks. Is that correct?
Thank you! :)

That's great, but I honestly can NOT use Affinity until there's a proper export preview, like in Photoshop/Fireworks.
