Here’s the palette. Perhaps it will be a good exercise in customer empathy. 

Hi MEB, I want you to go try to add a 135 color palette to Afinity Designer for iPad and let me know if you find any ux improvements along the way. If you need some guidance I’d be happy to make a recording of me attempting the same thing. 

It sounds like your arguing about creative process, not features of tools. As a general rule I don't argue with people about their creative process because I find it to be rude.

This is clearly very popular. What's the hold up? I also need this.

make one ellipse a symbol, duplicate the symbol and edit just one symbol to see all change

Why are you using a small ellipse filled with a stroke both the same colour, when a filled ellipse without a stroke would work better and not have the "pet rocks" issue (love that phrase lol!),  it doesn't make much sense to me.

Rounding issues shouldn't matter since Serif touts being able to work on infinitesimal details as a core feature. So asking it to expand a curve with a 6px diameter the same way it expands a 600px curve seems reasonable and the fact that it's been in the backlog for 4 years is yet another red flag against Serif. When I made this post I didn't realize it had been in the backlog for so long.

This is a long-time known issues that, hopefully, will be addressed in the following months.
Best regards!

Totally appreciate your point, @lukepighetti
I was worried that if everyone gave a +1 to your vote, Affinity might think everyone is also opposed to a separate DAM product, squashing something which has been in the planning pipe for some time. I just wanted to separate the ideas, that non-destructive RAW editing fully incorporated into the AP editing process is not excluding a separate DAM product. I want both, and yes, to prioritize resources, building it into AP would be more urgent.
Thanks for the clarification.

Hi there, I love Affinity Photo and there's only two things missing for me to give up Lightroom (I've already given up Photoshop). First of all, I need a Develop persona that is non-destructive. In other words, I need to be able to tweak exposure/white balance / etc etc after I click "develop." The next thing is previewing RAW files. I don't need a complete photo catalog feature, but something that goes through my camera's RAW files and generates a quick little thumbnail so I can browse the card easier would make a big difference for me. Using Finder to browse through RAW photos is unfortunately pretty slow.
 
Thanks again!

Hey guys, when working with large files containing many artboards, Affinity opens up the tree to an object but then does not close it when I'm done. What happens is the tree gets very cluttered and I have to go back and close everything individually.
This problem is solved in source code editors by having a simple automatic function.
If you select and view a file it will collapse when it loses focus. But if you edit the file it will not collapse unless you tell it to explicitly.

Let's say someone sends you a vector graphics file that contains a draft brand guideline and it doesn't have global colors setup. Being able to turn all instances of a color into a global color would be a massive timesaver.
 
Let's say you're doing an illustration and it isn't until you've completed the illustration that you understand which colors are global colors. Being able to turn all instances of a color into a global color would be a massive timesaver.
 
Let's say someone sends you a file that uses the same color over and over again, but since they don't use Affinity Designer they send it as an SVG.  Being able to turn all instances of a color into a global color would be a massive timesaver.
 
Hope that helps.

Hi @MEB, try downloading this icon pack and making it an assets collection. https://feathericons.com If you find any UX improvements perhaps you can add that to the backlog. Cheers.

Thank you Alex, cheers and I hope the developers make this easier. 

Hi Luke,
 
I just added the file to my previous post. Indeed some weird things are happening here, and it takes some patience to avoid double nodes as far as possible and keep the shape intact. I would suggest to join three of your forms together with the method I outlined in the referenced posts and close the result of this operation using the Close Curve command.
 
Hope that works …  :)
Alex
