Live Filters in Designer

[animaion]

Why Live Filters are not available directly in Affinity Designer? You have to copy the object to Affinity Photo to apply the filter and then copy it to the Designer.

Or you can Open the Designer file in Photo and do the work there then save it and open it again in Designer.

Because they are features of Affinity Photo.

No, you don't.
Welcome to File > Edit in Photo.
Enjoy.

Ok. Thanks for the tip. 

I still don't see why Live Filters shouldn't be available directly in Designer, since they appear after editing in Photo anyway. It looks like a pure marketing move.

Because focus.

• Designer = vector
• Photo = pixel
• Publisher = layout

Not only, but also.
The other "move" is avoiding bloat and featuritis™.
Focus is a virtue.

In other words, if you need extended features that aren't directly available in one app, you can buy the other two respective apps as your "plugins". The document format is identical for all three apps, so you can edit with each app as you see fit.
And vice versa, if you don't need the other apps' advanced features, you don't need to pay for stuff you'll never use if you're basically happy with what either one can do out of the box. 
A very smart move.

You could say the same thing about every feature that is not already in all 3 apps ... which leads to the bloat & featuritis issue that @loukash mentioned, plus a higher end user cost for each app if serif is to maintain a reasonable profit margin.
