Initial impressions, Develop Zoom, Develop Curve Nodes

[Ivan-D]

Hi,

I have been looking forward to trying the beta of Affinity Photo since having a quick play with it at the Photography Show in March. It seems you have a very strong competitor to the market leaders.

I find the interface intuitive and able to go straight in and produce some good work.

 

Develop Persona

I know this is beta and not fully refined yet but I think Develop could do with zoom controls other than hot keys / mouse wheel, i.e. a right menu or “fit to screen” , “100%” etc. buttons.

Also in Develop nodes do not seem deletable on the the Curves, only reset the whole.

I wonder, might you include or make available lens profiles in the future?

Personally I would like to see the Basic, Lens etc. drop downs collapsible without disabling.

 

Congratulation to your team for a very impressive and powerful peace of software. I can see it will be up there with the best for a long time to come.

I have to mention the Inpainting Brush.. marvellous.

 

I am going to try selection and compositing next, I might get back to you again.

 

(I am a commercial photographer, image editor and CC user).
