  1. I am experiencing a really bad error when using adjustment layers "Levels" or "Brightness/Contrast": adjusting black level or contrast doesn't 'take' properly (only very weakly) when pressing "merge" or flattening the image. There is a big difference between how Affinity Photo previews the adjustment and how it actually will come to look when activating it by merging down the adjustment layer or flattening the image in the document menu, as can be seen in these screen shots:
    1. Image freshly loaded into Photo.
    2. Adjustment made with "Levels" adjustment layer to boost darkness contrast.
    3. When pressing "Merge" the adjustment contrast level weakens considerably and image almost returns to initial state.

    Affinity Photo 1.8.3.641

  2. In another graphics software I own (Photoline), it is possible to perform something called "color to transparency".
     This function lifts off opaque color (including of course black) from the selected base color of the image (typically white) and makes them transparent (similar to an transparent in an overhead viewer). 
    Corel Painter has the same function but calls it "lift layer to watercolor layer" as far as I  remember.
    I have been trying to do this in Affinity Photo without luck. Is this an existing function, that I just can't find, or is it something to put on the wish list for Affinity Photos to come?

  3. In my latest animated short "House Cleaning" I have used Affinity Photo for both "household" picture jobs (cropping, scaling, adjusting etc.and some green screen clean up) as well as "paint jobs" - painting of sets and prop textures etc.
    As the only bitmap edit/paint tool in the production, I have credited it in the end titles.

     

    Hope you enjoy my film, as I have enjoyed using Affinity Photo :-)

  4. Maybe not Mondrian that much (a bit stiff and boring, I think) but Picasso and Matisse and Braque and Diebenkorn and Giacometti and Beckmann and... well, the world is filled with wonderfull art! Isn't that great?!

    Enjoy! :-)

  5. It would be very helpfull if prefs had the option to turn brush outline on/off. This goes for both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer (pixel brush)

    Preferences could then read:

     

    1. crosshair on/off

    2. brush preview on/off

    3. brush outline on/off

     

    Personally I find the brush outline very distracting when drawing/painting in these otherwise excellent programs.
