[Affinity Photo for Game Devs]

I love Affinity Designer, I'm using it allot, for UI design for presentations, it's a great tool . I even use it for small texture work when I need to do something sharp . But Affinity Photo it's well how to put this ... I would like to use it but I'm always returning to Photoshop .

Why ?

Well because the workflow for copy / pasting textures into channels is not that intuitive ( the spare channel flow ... ) and the problem of exporting TGA's .

I prefer a tga instead png's because of the dedicated alpha channel .

 

[Pasting Images Into Alpha Channel]

Why do this workflow so hard. What's wrong with copy/paste workflow ? The photoshop way . With this workflow we're doing too many clicks for a simple operation .

What's wrong with :

Step 1. Open image

Step 2. Ctrl+A -> Copy Image

Step 3. Select Alpha channel -> Ctrl+V - Paste 

Step 4. Save
