Hi, I am new in Affinity Photo: still in my trial period. But I like what I see.
I develop my (Olympus Pen E-P5) raw files in DxO. I like DxO's colours and noise reduction.
I am just scratching AP's surface. At this moment I am cropping my photo's to 10 by 15 cm; 300 DPI.
May I be so bold to ask for some improvements?
Crop
I crop to 15 * 10 cm; mostly landscape.
So Crop settings: 'Custom Ratio' 15 x 10 'Thirds Grid'. I made a Preset of that: (Automatic) name: 15 : 10
Improvement: Have AP remember the last used Crop Preset (e.g.: 15 : 10) Improvement: Also have the arrow keys move the crop area Improvement: Automatically Rotate the crop area for portrait (e.g.: 10 x 15)
File > Export
AP remembers the last exported document type (e.g. JPG or PNG) Improvement: Have AP remember the last used Print Size (e.g.: 15 x 10 cm in px) Improvement: Have AP remember the source directory (of File Open) and
the target directory (of Export)
General Improvement: Make a shortcut for opening the next (source) photo (Tab ?)
Make a shortcut for opening the previous (source) photo (Backspace ?)
Improvement: After importing a number of photos: present them sorted (oldest left).
Ahhh... that would have saved me a lot of time!
Great programme, though!
Regards,
peter
