I'm using Affinity Photo 1.7.3 on Windows mostly as a complement to Adobe Lightroom but I sometimes try to use it for other very simple tasks. I must say I'm less then thrilled buy the lack of this very simple and intuitive feature so as a customer here is my suggestion to improve this otherwise cool tool :-)

Rationale: flood select sensitivity can be tricky to nail and the current process is way too slow. Especially when you want to remove "somewhat noisy" uniform background it's hard to nail a value where you select all the background up to the border of the main subject!

Current process takes way more time then expected:

  • click a point
  • look at the result
  • adjust the value
  • esc (to un-select)
  • re-click the same point (=loop)

 

Proposal: after clicking on the image with the flood-select tool it should be possible to adjust the sensitivity slider (as now) and the result should be visible in real time while you change the sensitivity !

p.s.: this is exactly how this works within "paint.net" which has otherwise way less features respect to Affinity Photo
