Great news Affinity Photo 2 has load/save shortcuts preset!

I think that Affinity has a full potential to become even the industry standard in 5/10 years with theese prices. It's like the battle between 3DS Max and Blender. Blender was "nothing" a few years back, now 3DS Max users are getting real updates, not only the ones changing UI Blender has become a real threat to 3DS as it's being used professionaly in the industry, that's great! People have a choice - at last. Graphic design community is tired of the dominance of one company, because the development od software has halved and prices, especially for casual graphic designers are just unbearable in monthly payments. So... Affinity developers, please make this one step closer to becoming the industry standard in a few years and unify the shortcuts with Photoshop or at least give users a choice or a switch to Photoshop shortcuts Next step would be a compatibility with psd but I think it's not as important as the shortcuts I'm looking forward for updates and can't wait for further development.

Ow yeah, a Photoshop shortcut preset would be nice or even a necessity :]

Hey Chris Wong I agree. New shortcuts in Affinity Photo is like reinventing the wheel all over again. I wanted to buy the whole set of Affinity just to have an alternative and finaly switch to Affinity in 100%, this software looks great and finally there is a alternative to Adobe. Learning new shortctus is a nightmare, because Photoshop veterans (10+ years) usually don't even remember shortcuts, they are in there blood stream. It's like driving a car, you just drive it, you don't think where all the things you need to drive are. If Affinity made a switch or even a file to download and Load Photoshop shortcuts that would immensely, in one day, make them a real alternative to Photoshop, especially for long time photoshop users. That would bring them millions of new users. I think that would be a step one. Step two would be to make psd fully compatible, but that's a whole other story ;)
