[Export to .BMP]

Truly, we should choose aesthetics over usability or resources, that's why I´v painted my computer screen green, it will fit much better with my room decoration.

For God sake, no feature decision should be taken by current UI restrictions, that's insane,...

[TGA and DDS Support]

Just emphasizing the importance of those features here.

[Update on Tga/tiff export and Channel packing workflow improvements.]

Bump, since those features are really decisive in many of workflows.

[How to replace image in layer?]

This feature would be so much more useful if the "Replace image" button worked with many images at the same time.

[Configure/turn off "Ctrl+LMB+Drag" duplication]

Is there and option to configure/turn off the "Ctrl+LMB+Drag" (duplicate selected and move) function?

Since Ctrl is necessary for selecting stuff inside groups, I´m constantly holding it, and if I accidentally move something, it gets duplicated, sometimes because of the snap it duplicates and don't change place, so I´m unable to see it happened, after a wile there´s a lot of stuff duplicated in my project.

[Crop to canvas in Affinity Photo]

Try rasterizing the layers going out-bounds.

[Zoom with wacom or without scroll wheel]

Thanks! those shortcuts really help, most I was already aware off.

Another suggestion would be to have Cmd+5 as a zoom to 50%, there is no shortcut for it yet.

Even though the keyboard shortcuts are great, zooming with the pen has its benefits "precision, speed, and intuitiveness" and the solution for zooming using the pen, still a bit of a draw back, having to press Space before Ctrl, since Ctrl is a modal shortcut for the hand tool, is super counter intuitive, and I cant get used with it.

Don't want to complain here, I´m just offering a possibly helpful insight about the software UX.

Thanks again v_kyr.

[Select all of specific objects]

Just´d like to emphasize that I´m also someone who would greatly appreciate this feature "select by type/attribute", and also filter the layer list by those parameters, but keeping groups listed as an option.

where when used in Affinity Photo the Bamboo top button toggles between touch on/off

Thanks c_kyr, its just I don't like to take my hand of the keyboard, so I´v disabled touch, even so I could use it with the pen hand, I didn't adapted to it.

Oh, yes, sorry, missed out the fact you have to press the Spacebar, then the Ctrl key (hold down both), then click drag. That should work with every tool.

My bad 

At my age, I get a bit confused sometimes.

lol, I´m pretty old too my dear.

Thanks a lot for the tip! it solved my issue!

Now I can gladly press SPACE+Ctrl+LMB and zoom my projects.

The only draw back is that you need to press "space" before pressing "Ctrl", for it to work.

You can press the Ctrl key (Windows) and click drag to zoom in or out. It works for a mouse, should work for your pen too?

Press Ctrl + Alt, draw a marquee, and it will zoom to that area.

Thanks Toltec, its an idea! But for this to work one must beforehand select the "z" tool for zooming, the idea was to zoom without changing the current tool, using only modifier keys.

If there is no way for that, this could surely be a feature suggestion.

[Zoom with wacom or without scroll wheel]

Well, my wacom doesn't have a circular scroll wheel, nor a linear one like in intuos 3, its a simple bamboo. The only way to handle zoom with it, is if it where possible to zoom using the LMB, MMB or RMB, by clicking them.

So, if the software haven't a way of zooming with the click of those buttons, my hands are tied with the wacom settings.

Thanks for the suggestion V_kyr

[Crop tool automatically set its bounds to the selected area]

Hi, I´m new here, and I´m trying to adapt from my preview workflow, but there´s a few things I´m missing, one of them being the Crop tool, when we select it, it by defaut selects the hole canvas, but it would be amazing if it could encompass the bounds of the current selection, like PS.

To exemplify.
How it is now: Press "C" the crop tool becomes active selecting for the cropping the hole canvas.

How I suggest: Press "C" the crop tool becomes active selecting a bounding box around the selected region.

Thanks, and hope this simple diference comes to light some day.

[Zoom with wacom or without scroll wheel]

Hi, I´m new here, and right now trying to adapt my workflow from PS to Afiniti Photo, and being a wacom user, I´m missing a way to zoom without the scroll wheel, "but yet using the pen", in PS we can use Ctrl+Alt+MMB, same with 3DsMax, and this allows for zooming without scroll or Ctrl + "+/-".

Is there a way to configure Affinity Photo to work as such? 

Thanks.

[not selecting a locked layer object]

On 2/25/2018 at 2:13 PM, dr_who said:

Another workaround: just make sure the pixel image you wish to lock isn't the undermost element in your layer stack. Even an empty layer beneath the pixel image will do the trick.

 

Thanks! a lot!

[Export to .BMP]

Well, I´m also in need of a export for BMP, since automation softwares from Schneider Electric "PSO, PME" and others minor softwares we use here only accept BMP, although some of them also use .jpg, or .png, there are some stupid drawbacks, like the picture being imported without the correct size, or it won´t be compatible with some features. 

It´s something that seems to be so simple, the devs could consider the bunch of posts before mine and give some love to this.

[[AP] Shortcut to show/hide a layer]

Bumping this post, since its really something that make a difference.

[Toggle Layer Visibility?]

This feature makes a huge difference, for hiding layer inside collapsed groups, its a must have, and also this will improve workflow speed a lot.

Great suggestion.
