Give us "Smart Layers" - Pahleeease......


Recommended Posts

I am a massive fan of Affinity, both in terms of their software (I have all three products) as well as their company ethos, pricing, ethics etc etc.

But until we have Smart Layers in at least Affinity Photo (like there is in Photoshop), I cannot use it in the commercial environment.

Sure, I can get fantastic results quickly and easily, and it's fun, but if I CANNOT have a non-destructive workflow, it is useless to me. 

I recently got caught out by this due a client requesting I revisit a project I'd completed and needed revising.  I had no way of knowing what the previous settings for my effects were.

This is a NUMBER ONE MUST HAVE in your software.

Please, please, please do this !

Thank you :)

Were you using Adjustment Layers or Live Filters? Did you save as an .afphoto file? Or did you save it as a .tiff?  With either of these your adjustments will be preserved and you can close, then load and edit later. If you Export to Tiff, then you will need to tick Save Affinity Layers.
