It certainly would :)

Uhm, yes, but then I’m deactivating all my adjustments … What if I want soft proof the adjustments I made?

Ah, great – thanks a lot! So issue 2 is already solved. :-)

To comply with basic OS X UI guidelines, Affinity Photo’s main window should * display a “dirty mark” (dot) in the red Close Window button in the left of the window title bar if the image in the currently selected tag is modified * display a file icon left of the file name (of the image in the currently selected tab) in the center of the window title bar – Command-clicking on this icon should reveal a pull-down menu with the complete path to the file * display a pull-down triangle right of the file name (of the image in the currently selected tab) in the center of the window title bar that allows to edit the name and location of the file This is basic OS X behavior every app should comply with for a seamless and intuitive user experience

I can confirm this. ColorSync Utilities’ Color Calculator shows that ProPhoto RGB 0-255-0 corresponds to 0-255-0 in my display profile, whereas sRGB 0-255-0 corresponds to 91-255-14 in my display profile. When I open a test TIFF image (16 bit, monochrome green ProPhoto RGB 0-255-0), Affinity Photo correctly says (in the upper left) that the image is “RGBA/16 ProPhoto RGB”. The green color, however, is displayed as 91-255-14 on my display (as DigitalColor Meter reveals). In other words, the color conversion to the display is sRGB → displayColorSpace, not ProPhoto RGB → displayColorSpace, as it should be.

I’m a bit confused about the fact that the Soft Proof functionality is implemented as “Adjustment”. I don’t feel I “adjust” an image when I soft-proof it; rather it’s some kind of filter I’m using for a moment. Specifically, I will switch on and off Soft Proof frequently, whereas in the current implementation, I’ll have to *undo* the Soft Proof each time (if I’m not mistaken), which is kind of strange.

I’m using the Apple Color Picker a lot, especially as I have created a lot of Color Palettes. I encountered three issues with this on Affinity Photo: 1. The shortcut for the Apple Color Picker is universally Shift-Command-C in any well behaved Cocoa app on OS X. It’s not in Affinity Photo, which is confusing. 2. Open an image in sRGB in Affinity Photo. Choose the Colour pane in the upper right of Affinity Photo. Choose the Color Sliders pane in the Apple Color Picker. Choose RGB Sliders from the Color Model pop-up. By clicking on the tiny Color Space pull-down menu left of the Color Model pop-up, make sure Generic RGB is the color space selected. With the sliders in the Apple Color Picker, select some arbitrary RGB values. Note that the RGB values in the Colour pane in the upper right of Affinity Photo are identical. However, the Apple Color Picker values are in Generic RGB, those in Affinity Photo are (should be) in sRGB (since that’s the image’s color space), so identical values are wrong. 3. I see that you try to integrate the user-wide OS X color palettes of the Apple Color Picker into your own GUI (which I applaud). However, the point about the color palettes in the Apple Color Picker is that these are *named* colors (the names indicating their usage), whereas you only display the color swatches, which is kind of useless for a palette of colors. This is especially an issue because points 1 and 2 prevent easy usage of the Apple Color Picker instead.
