  1. Would you please check if Designer can or cannot handle big vector file. I have older MBP with 16 GB RAM and lot of SSD space and handling any bigger files is very tedious. Like, select an object, wait for spinning ball to go away 90 seconds, delete the object, wait again... repeat, wait, repeat, wait.

    Is that NORMAL? ;-) 

    Document is a 7 MB PDF, all vector. Saved as Affinity it is 60 MB.

    Spinning ball indicates it is totally a memory shortage problem. I have still version 1.xxx. Does version 2 handle it better? Is M1/M2 mac better? Or is 16 GB always too little for that kind of document?

    Here is a link for the document if you want to test: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mq9zzanouyyy7o5ppxicf/02-Asemapiirustus.pdf?rlkey=x48q2bs3nzefgbr9niw5ejwjq&dl=0

    these are raster based effects, and will mean any vector data you warp using these live filters will be rasterised when you come to export.

    Does it mean that the whole object will be rasterised? Instead of just rasterising the inner parts and keeping container vector as vector as would be the proper implementation? Say like in a simple object where is a simple bounding vector path with pasted inside bitmap?

  3. Exposure & Brightness is weird stuff... I wonder why photographers insist on using such tools (or maybe it is just developers who think photographers want them?).  Here is some explanation what is going on: https://www.lightxapp.com/difference-between-brightness-and-exposure/

    I would much prefer to operate just with white point, black point and gamma. And curve when more control is needed. And hilight recovery and shadow controls :-D

    I guess some apps apply advanced curve controls when exposure and brightness are used (think manipulating "knee" and "elbow" points in density curves of photographic film). 

    Anyway I do not think AP develop tools are very easily understood. I sure am not confident with them.

    lol, interesting.  I understand what you are saying, but photo isnt just directed to photographers in the adverts for it.  If you watch the tuts for it there are many other uses implied.  It should just crop the image!  I mean its simple. if it wants to crop the canvas, make that on option.  Easy.  

    Photo is a tool for manipulating images. Cropping removes unwanted parts of the image.

    Now, if you want to replace unwanted parts with transparent areas or white, that is another function. Not too hard either.

  5. AP uses also automatic palette, which is optimized for image colours. There is no way around dithering though if here is anything in he image that can be dithered. Simple clear shapes should not dither (though sometimes they do in AP).

    I tested simple 600X800 pixels 2 colour image which has left side green and right size red. PS compressed it to 1 891 bytes. AP compressed the same image to 611 bytes. PS had 2 colour palette, in AP 2 colour palette did not work (got grey image) so I used 4 colours.

    Are you sure you did choose NOT to include colour profile AND metadata?
