Serif PhotoPlus is the predecessor of Serif Affinity Photo and has many features which Serif has yet to include in Affinity Photo. I have the Affinity suite, bought out of loyalty to (the) Serif of Nottingham, but find the old "Plus" products, which included a superb, and powerful video editor, quite adequate for the design, video, photo, and publishing work I do for a number of organizations.

I've said it before, but for all these formats simply open your Serif PhotoPlus and your wishes are fulfilled. And no, you can't export in Olympus Raw (.ORF): this is a plug-in and Ph+ lists all formats it knows about.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have re-submitted the tiling request which I had previously submitted under an old requests thread and have added it now as a new thread.

As a recent purchaser updating after a long history (~15 years) with Photo Plus and many other Serif products, the lack of a way to create a tiled display of images as in all the Ph+ versions I can recall, is a disturbing down-grade in the new product. How on earth can one quickly make comparisons between the shots taken in a burst without being able to tile the images quickly (it has been confirmed by a long term user of Affinity Photo that this can be accomplished only by manually re-sizing and dragging each individual image, what a drag). Moreover, in Ph+, once tiled (with just two clicks) the images may all be zoomed, and hence panned, simultaneously. The same issue arises when cloning: the source and the target both have to be on screen and aligned.

As a recent purchaser updating from a long history (~15 years) with Photo Plus and many other Serif products, thanks for pointing our another retrograde step from the now discontinued Plus product line. All three of these formats, requested two years ago were available in Photo Plus X8 (see attached screen shot of the export menu in Ph+X8). The lack of a way to create a tiled display of images as in all the Ph+ versions I can recall, is also a disturbing down-grade in the new product. How on earth can one quickly make comparisons between the shots taken in a burst without being able to tile the images quickly (it has been confirmed by a long term user of Affinity Photo that this can be accomplished only by manually re-sizing and dragging each individual image, what a drag). Moreover, in Ph+, once tiled (with just two clicks) the images may all be zoomed, and hence panned, simultaneously. Mr. Connor, this product is no improvement over Ph+8: I'll be using my "out-dated" Ph+ for quite a bit longer, thanks.

Thanks Walt, but floating and manually arranging really isn't practicable when reviewing half a dozen shots to select the best and discard the worst of a burst, and is a chore when setting up a clone. Arranging horizontal or vertical tiling and then navigating all simultaneously is a trivial exercise in Photo+ and its absence in Affinity Photo is a serious limitation. In a clone or repair, seeing where the source is, is essential. Without this feature Affinity Photo is a no-go for me. The Power Tools application seems to be one of those "Win10 will download and install for your inconvenience" applications. I am only now trying Affinity because, in my opinion Win10 is, to be polite, unsatisfactory, and to run under Win7, Affinity requires that other so-called new and improved feature, Aero, a feature for which I have yet to find a use and which results in some very weak on-screen contrast for old eyes. Sorry you weren't able to lead me to a, perhaps undocumented, feature

I'm a long time user of virtually all of the Plus products (probably all except for Web+) and have just purchased the Affinity trio. A bg problem with Affinity Photo was almost immediately apparent, one that I have spent a great deal of time trying to solve, is how to tile the windows when more than one image is needed on screen? This feature in Photo+ is a simple, two-click procedure: how is it done in Affinity Photo? I see I am not alone in missing this ability.
