First, I have to say that after persisting with Affinity Photo I am now really appreciating it. I think it is the best new program I have used for many years (and I have hundreds of apps on my Mac). The power and quality is brilliant. However I do have some suggested user interface enhancements which I think would make the experience even better... When choosing the crop tool remember the last mode and other settings. When I use resize, if I turn off constrain, leave it off in future until I switch it back on. When saving JPEGs, remember the quality setting. A keyboard shortcut for save flattened. In dialogs with text fields put the cursor in the first field so I can just type. Remember the position of dialogs, eg Clarity. Use of dialogs a bit inconsistent: sometimes panel, sometimes dialog, sometimes drop-down. Why do I choose filters from a menu but effects from a palette? Let me drag an image from a web page onto AF's icon in the Dock to open it. If I choose a crop to a size, then resize to the same size, the aspect ratio is off slightly. When creating a new document default to the size of the image on the clipboard. The use of the shift key for constraining drags is a bit inconsistent. These are generally just to save a few clicks and to avoid errors. No big deal but these little things can make a difference, especially when processing many images in a similar way. Thanks.
