I've owned and happily used PhotoPlus X8 for six and a half years. Nonetheless, I recently purchased Affinity Photo in order to learn new things and see how it compares.
While Affinity Photo so far appears to have much more capability than PhotoPlus X8, the unnecessary effort it forces one to expend when printing is a definite downgrade. Please consider an Affinity Photo update that incorporates a print dialog box just like the one in PhotoPlus X8, i.e. one that simply and directly enables setting printed image physical dimensions and exact placement on a sheet of paper.
I note that there have been multiple threads in this forum concerning use of the Affinity Photo print dialog box to size/position images on paper. The answers/explanations given merely illustrate what extraordinary lengths one must go to rather than addressing how much of a step backward the dialog is from prior Serif products. Note that, unlike other posters who've addressed this shortcoming, I'm not comparing Affinity Photo to Photoshop, but rather to Serif's own earlier product.
Thank you in advance for listening.
