[What I miss]

I am switching from a long time user of PS.. I really miss

getting rid of the transparency grid/checkerboard.  I like to see just white when it's transparent.

a better, more editable drop shadow with presets

I often moved my shadow to it's own layer and used warp on it to modify, I miss that very much.

support for .asl files

docking brush palette to tab/window

[monochromatic tools]

I have been using the Trial Version of Affinity Photo for Mac for a few days. I just bought the full version and downloaded it. My tools are all monochromatic, when I go to Preferences it doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the Monochromatic tool box, they stay monochromatic. Am I missing something or is a problematic download possibly?
