+1 for Smart Objects PSD import, and extending AP/AD Embedded documents.
ATM you can't do something like this:

or to be exact you can't alter the mesh to wrap the object around something and save it as a template to easily add a different image/page every time you need. When you apply Mesh Deformation to an Embedded document in AP it will be converted to plain pixel image.

This combo defaults to what we think will work best for most users on your OS. So you can try the Metal if you wish but the performance may be improved for some and reduced for other .afphoto files.  If you get glitching on "OpenGL" then try "OpenGL (Basic)"

Hey IzelPhotography, welcome to the Affinity Forums
 
I think perhaps you would be better off using the Blemish Removal Tool for blemishes. The Inpainting Tool is great but I believe it also does more complex calculations so it can take a bit longer to complete lots of quick actions.

The beta should also be a bit quicker than release when using the Inpainting Tool. 

Thanks.... yeah, it's a mixture of blemishes and cloning out.
 
Just found the Beta release so I'll install that to see how it goes. So far, 1st impressions are really good. Probably haver a few ore questions once I get finished with this job. Thanks
 
Edit.
 
Inpainting is a lot better in the Beta! Thanks
