The Affinity apps have three different types of buttons of add layers in the layer panel:

  • "Add Pixel Layer" In Photo and Designer
  • "Add Layer" in Designer and Publisher
  • "Group Layers" in Photo

The Layer from "Add Layer" in Designer and Publisher is very useful for organizing content and preserving separate selection for items inside of it. While the "Group" is useful for adjusting multiple items together. I know that Photo has Auto-select feature now, but it's better to have both types in the same document. T

his is also the same type of organizational layer in Photoshop and other raster software, I don't know why Affinity decided to make Photo different.

My workflow in Photo now is almost opening the document first in either Designer or Publisher, pressing "Add Layer" a couple of times and then returning to Photo. If you add "Add Layer" like in the other apps, it'll make organization easier and save me 2 minutes of my life each time I create a new Photo document. The Group Layers can be created by just clicking ctrl+g, or can be left alongside it.
