Hi!
First message for me, but on a topic I really care.
Davide 1st point is deeply rooted (and needed) in education and training. To be able to deconstruct an image, in channels, to blend its parts, helps trainee understanding. And it is such a powerful and handy feature to work with (and it is so basic it is open for newbies).
I'm waiting for Win version to see if it will be possible to switch to Affinity Photo, it seems on paper a better deal for my students.
If developing will continue at this pace, and we will be able to tell our stories (and be listened) this will be the best tool for us.
Thank you for your hard work!
Daniele
