Sounds like the equivalent of extrusion in 3D apps to me :)

Linux is definitely a worthwhile consideration. Many people can't switch from windows simply because there is no serious 2D AI/PS/ID alternatives to use. Buying is not an issue here. Just the lack of options. You are asking if Linux users would buy? Well people coming from other platforms would for sure. I would definitely agree with a kickstarter.

Do Affinity Designer and Photo have missing features for professionals? Yes.. Do they compete with AI and PS at every level? No..not yet Do they have enough features to be usable by professionals with some workarounds and hiccups? .... I can say yes. I managed software dev for mobile in the past and it is often the case where you simply can't wait until you got all the features everyone wants or could want. Budget, missing information and a couple of other factors come in. So what Serif did was what I would do as well. Put enough features until it's ok to be used by a small to medium number of users, make that version stable and continue developing as you are doing that. Eventually in 1-2 years you will have enough to cater to most people needs, without being at risk to run out of money. And I didn't even mentioned the needed user input a dev team can get through a beta program. As for the price compared to a yearly Adobe subscription is definitely worth it. You pay about 300$ a year for a single app that you don't own and never will. Serif charges 50$ per app with let's say 1/6 of Illustrator or PS features. I say that's fair.

This is surely needed. Hopefully it comes very soon. +100

A Manual would be useful

As the title says it would be nice to have more control over the filters just as PS offers. Thanks

When will they be added?

I agree, price/features/performance is a hit and as long as they don't sell the company to Adobe or others their future is looking great.
