[Destructive color adjustments]

Hi

I want to be able to do destructive color adjustments like in Photoshop. It's fast and intuitive. I don't always want to have my layers cluttered up with more adjustment layers, even if they go underneath it. I have had multiple issues where things will go underneath something else and just not apply like multiple tutorials said. I have found myself dragging things on other things trying to figure out if it's the order and it doesn't work as described.

Instead of forcing users to use what someone else thinks should be their best practice, I'd like to be able to just make my adjustment and go. It makes more sense to my processes. I am working on something and the adjustment layer thing really messed it up because it also applied it to the effects on that layer. Allowing the ability for destructive color adjustments adds flexibility.

I've been working on an image for 3 hours. I'd have this done in Photoshop in 15. Not all users want to be power users to learn best practice, some just want to do it quick and how they've done it for years. It encourages people to convert to Affinity Photo and if they feel comfortable with it they will suggest others to have it as well.

Please add this feature.

[UI buttons way too small]

Hi,

There really needs to be the feature of UI scaling with the buttons on the side. They are incredibly small on my monitor and hard to even figure out what they are a picture of. I've seen some talk that this is not possible to implement, however in another drawing program I have this is a feature. Also Photoshop has this feature. This should be high considered for accessibility sake. The button size is so important to me, that even if I had to pay for another program, I would do that if I could see the buttons more easily and have similar functionality.

I have absolutely no issue seeing any other UI in any of my other issues, just Affinity Photo, and it's incredibly frustrating. Change the tool tip is not enough, especially when learning the program. I was going to buy a copy for my mom, but given that she is older I don't think she will be able to use it comfortably because her vision isn't as good as mine, so I will not be buying it for her. No one should have to change their screen resolution just to use a single program (the only solution I've found), especially since many users may be using more then one program at a time.

While not as important, I really appreciate my other art programs ability to re-arrange the buttons to be double wide or change the order of them.

 

Thanks
