Found an awesome solution to the lack of tolerance sliders when using HSL adjustments: You can go to the Channels pane and burn and dodge within the individual R, G or B channels. It does a better job than even saturation with tolerance adjustments. Bonus feature: Affinity lets you burn and dodge in a single colour channel while keeping all channels visible thus displaying the full colour picture while you make your colour adjustments. Not even Photoshop can do that. Affinity just won another Brownie Point with me.

I would like to see a feature in Hue, Saturation & Luminosity sliders where the tolerances to the selected colours can be adjusted similar to how Photoshop & Capture One Pro do. Currently, it's impossible to make smooth adjustments making it impossible to do more extreme corrections to difficult photos.

Please improve the Shadows and Highlights performance so that the relative details within the highlights and especially the shadows is preserved when restoring detail in those value ranges. Current performance, especially in the Shadows adjustments, flattens everything out with extreme loss of detail. Please see Capture 1 Pro for an example of how these adjustments should perform.

I find that the current selection tool set, while good, is not as precise for creating certain types of selection masks. Will a future version of Affinity Photo feature a polygon selection tool?

I would like to see a feature where you can move the centre point of an object anywhere (including outside the object) so that I can perform object rotations from any centre point.

I would like to see a mesh grid distortion tool to fine-tune object and text distortions and create the illusion of objects moulding to irregular surfaces (e.g., text on a rippling flag).

I would like to see more ability in Affinity to distort so I can add perspective, curve or other freeform distortions to my objects. Currently the only options are rotate and skew, which is limiting.
