That may be what you expect, but that's not how it works.

Please don't be patronizing, I never said that's how it works. I stated my expectations for Affinity support. I thought they'd be here, since this is where the in-app Support link leads, but that's not the case.

I'll reach out to Affinity's actual support. Thanks everyone.

[Unwanted colorize with "New From Clipboard"]

As a user, I expect "new from clipboard" to produce the same layer type as opening that image from disk. This a usability issue for me.

[Unwanted colorize with "New From Clipboard"]

When I use "File > New From Clipboard":

There are no default foreground or background colors:

And if I pick a foreground color, the image gets colorized:

I think this is a bug.

[This .ps file causes infinite "Loading 1 document..."]

Perfect. Yes, was more concerned about not being able to close the app.

[This .ps file causes infinite "Loading 1 document..."]

I tried to load the attached file and nothing happens, but when I try to close the program, it informs me:

 

     "At least one file is currently being opened. Please wait for files to load before quitting the application."

 

Instead of doing that, it should cancel the loading process. Now I have to kill Photos from task manager.

[Default "File > Open" folder is System32, should be user folder]

On a fresh installation of Affinity Photo (probably Designer, too), the default location for "File > Open" is C:\Windows\System32, which isn't useful. It should probably be the %userprofile% folder. Or perhaps the "Documents" folder.

[Resize tool unaware of image DPI]

My photo has 96 dpi (see screen shot), but when I try to resize it in Affinity, the DPI is set to 1, making it turn out 5.25x7 pixels instead of 5.25x7 inches, unless I type in the DPI by hand. DPI should be read from the file metadata.

 

 

[Register Affinity Photo in the "open with" menu on Windows]

In the File Explorer on Windows 10, I expect the "(right click on image file) > open with" menu to list Affinity Photo as an option, but it doesn't. Suggest registering as a handler for image file types, during installation. I think there's a way to register with the "edit" and "open" verbs, but I'm not familiar with the process.
