After/Before change to Before/After display

[Nev Mac]

I am used to seeing Before on the left side of a split (preview) screen and After on the right. Is the a way to change to this layout in Affinity Photo

Hi Nev Mac,

Welcome to the forums

Unfortunately there's no way to change the order of Split Preview in Affinity apps currently, my apologies.

I'll move this thread to our Feedback section of the forums for our devs to see and consider!

I'm still not used to this after a few years of using the application. I imagine if you surveyed every English-speaking designer, editor, photo-retoucher in the world you'd struggle to find one who would want the "after" result displayed "before" the "before" result. Our very language suggests the order - "before/after", "left/right", "source/destination".

Agreed, this has been confusing the hell out of me for years and it's disappointing to see that it has been raised in the forums five years ago now and still not been addressed by the developers.
