I've noticed this exact same issue on Mac version. v139 Files size with Images embedded 60mb. Took all images out and replaced with image placeholders - file size 6mb. Changed preferences for doc to link rather than embed and placed the images into placeholders - back up to 60mb. Check in Resource Manager and all image files are shown as linked.... I know, it's a beta and there are things to iron out - but Fantastic job guys. I'm loving the look of it and I'll be forst on the list to buy it when it's ready!! Cheers G

Hi, I'm trying desperately to ditch Photoshop but have a couple of issues I am having problems recreating in Affinity Photo. I am trying to create a mockup file that has a framed image in perspective in a hall - imagine an art gallary view looking down a corridor. I have all the frames in situ, but want to be able to add and change the content of those frames from embedded images that are then transformed with the perspective tool. This I can do manually, but I'd like to be able to get the embedded images in position then be able to easily change the embedded file for new images which automatically update the perspective in the main image. I create lots of digital art and like to frame it in a realistic looking setting so need to do this on a regular basis. In Photoshop I would have used a smart object to do this easily but am having trouble in AP - as soon as I apply the perspective tool the embedded photo seems to be frozen and no longer am I able to replace the embedded image and have it update in AP. I noticed a video tutorial in AD about placing a logo on a billboard and then changing the embedded file, but there doesnt appear to be a perspective tool in AD so again I'm stuck. Anybody out there solved this one? Regards Gareth
