Suggestion to add an artboard feature in Affinity Photo

[kajou]

I think some topics have already been opened about that but they are dated or really incomplete in my opinion.

So I'm reopening one on the Affinity Twitter team's advice.

It would be great to implement an artboard feature in Affinity Photo to be able to create multiple formats in the same document, as in Designer, but allowing us to have a transparent background and to work in only one app.

This way we could choose to create a document with artboards in it or not (a feature available in Photoshop) or even to add them in an existing document.

Would be great for working on social media posts for example.

Why not just use Designer? It already provides all that.

Artboards can be added to Assets in APhoto

So just open a Designer document (using APhoto) with the Artboard sizes you want then add them to your assets

 

Or just add one Artboard to assets and resize it to fit, when you need to

However, in my experience there are a bunch of odd bugs in Photo if a document contains multiple Artboards, so I generally recommend restricting their use to Designer.
