feature requests for V2

[kirk23]

1.  Can we have  nozzles  in Designer please. Spline bound .   Please, please,please   🙏    With lighter blending in between each of them  rather than  different strokes.   With a blending choice set for each of RGBA  channels separately.     So it could be add for the green  , MAx(lighter) for Alpha . multiply for red   etc.   All saved in a brush version.

Also please make  image  brush  in Designer   to have    several crop lines so we could  set several special blocks that would alternate along the spline randomly. Come-on , we have similar feature in former Seriff product.   Why it felt under the feature cut at all?

I recall Expression had it back in early 90th.

2. LIve displace  needs  direction control, badly.     I see some red/green  vs sobel choice but see no difference at all .  Am I missing something?   A sound  way would be using red/green as direction vector  and  blue as shifting distance   multiplier  IMO.   Or gray slope as direction. 

3. We almost have layer comps now  with  HIDE and HIDE OTHERS . Now could we  have some auto -exporting mechanism  for this.  Slices that  can  remember layer visibility maybe?

4.  Bitmap fill as drag and drop could be  super helpful if the fill would stay in same place when you reshape the shape and do boolean operation using shape builder.    Make it by first selected  for example so  the zero  UV coordinate would always stay in top left corner  by default  of the first selected shape  .   Look at Xara for example .

5.   inner glow FX having erase  blending mode   working to current  object only . Aka edge feather  slider.

6. live rasterization adjustment layer we could  use as a source  for pixel content linking.   into masks  for example or as "virtual" layers.  Usable as a source for live pattern layer  maybe.

7. Cryptomatte live mask   for 32 bit mode. Not like exr-IO  plugin with a mess of gazillion layers  but rather  just  live object picking from a colored preview with your typical split view.  

8. UV red/green  gradient into  picture  placement   live layer .   To reapply other materials on  CG rendered picture.  maybe just a displacement version.

I believe  those thing would make Affinity a real competitive advantage .
