Hi guys, As one of those guys who occasionally plan to switch to Linux and usually is stopped by lack of software, I checked this thread. To my surprise most of the arguments are based on that Linux is not used for gfx and there is no good software base for this kind of work. It is partially true (especially considering lack of good PS equivalent), if this vacuum one day is filled with another software, people will use that. This is why it should be considered more of the reason to port Affinity products to Linux - there is no competition yet - if someone needs a good gfx editing software, he will use Affinity products because there is nothing else, yet. I remember stories of how Wine (or some similar software, it was like 15 years ago, so I could forget) came to be because Disney wanted Photoshop on their Linux desks. Maybe this story is total bs but I know quite a few software houses which opted for Maya instead of 3ds Max mostly because of its Linux support. Am I one of those guys who will buy Linux version? I'm not sure. For now, I have AP on Windows and iOS and there are some things still keeping me from going away from PS. Besides - there is no "reduced" price for multiple system owners, so I would pay twice or triple - I didn't buy AP for Mac for the very same reason.

Hi guys, So for a while now I've been using Affinity Photo (I have both, desktop and iPad, but I'm sticking to desktop here). There is plenty of good, speed and quality is one of the first things we all noticed. There are however some things which are not perfect in Affinity so I still have to go back to Photoshop. Please treat it as a test ground or feature request. 1. Crop to selection - I have seen some topics already requesting it. We all have a bit different workflow, in mine I use "crop to selection" a lot - for cleaning, composing and aligning images (gamedev). I tried to use Export Persona for it but it just didn't work - and even if it worked, it would just artificially lengthened my workflow. Before some of you advise copying and "New from Clipboard", read point 2. 2. "New from Clipboard" doesn't work as expected because it ignores transparent space. If I want to copy some small image surrounded by transparency (alpha channel being 0) it will crop everything. It doesn't suit precise work when you have to align images preserving alpha channel. Of course the issue can be that "New from Clipboard" work fine, but copying crops selected region to only opaque pictures, which is even worse case. 3. Lines - I remember testing AP during its beta period and someone has already mentioned this then - If we use the same psd on PS and AF we get different results when using lines of the certain width. So here we are, my first 3 cents, I know it looks small, but in fact, it keeps me from full switch,
