It would be great to be able preview separations/channels including spot colors in Affinity(all) like Adobe does. It would have saved a bunch of time testing and for preflighting future files. Also helpful, "mixed" or "multi" ink swatches(Nchannels).

Looks promising. Quite the same approach I had. Just take a Greyscale image and apply the spot color to it in Publisher. Interesting interference between Overprint and Multiply layer effect on the blue gradient.
Sad though that it doesn't work in AF Photo the intuitive way. So for me the move to Affinity Suite for production is postponed again. Hopefully, we can do the switch with Version 2.0 at least.

I have created a test file for spot color output. I cannot get the spot colors to output to spot only cmyk or rgb. I have tried PDFx4, PDFx3 and PDF1.7 in Affinity photo 1.7.3 and 1.8. Any guidance on this is appreciated. I am trying to use Affinity as an alternative to Adobe. See attached for file screenshot. Attached working file also.

Yes. I think at least 4 sample points should be available to be locked and referenced for color correction. I have not seen this necessary functionality either.

Hey guys, I like where this app is going, here are some of my findings:
 
16bit CMYK tif loads incorrectly
white balance ruins black point on CMYK images
previews in the adjustments randomly disappear and cannot be selected
shadow highlight adjustment needs refinement (as it is now it is more of a contrast control)
I would like to see more colors in selective color (orange and purple, for example)
I would like to see auto added to white balance and color temperature values
 
Great work so far, more to come.
