[Affinity Photo 2 for Windows - (2.0.3)]

When will the Windows *.exe or *.msi installers be available. I only see *.msix. Lots of people are waiting, so am I.

[Selection brush and inpainting tool]

The Heal Selection Tool from GIMP has the following modifiers:
Context sampling width (Pixels)  (enter number)
Sample from:  All around, Sides, Above and below
Filling order: Random, Inwards towards center, Outwards from center
 

If I'm inpainting something just above the horizon, I sample only from "Sides" with a much better result as from "All around" because the source area is restricted to the heaven.

Would like to see modifiers like this in Affinity Photos too, because AP is most of the time the more capable tool. Sometimes inpainting works better with GIMP.

 

 

[Extremely disappointed that this installs as an "App" and not regular software program]

As a happy customer for many years I only became aware after buying the universal licence that Serif switched to the Microsoft App format. I could not imagine that Serif will go that evil. So please Serif release v2 as a normal Windows program again to make me happy again.
