Just drag an Affinity Designer/Photo file over an open document to embed it. You can transform, apply adjustment's, effects etc to the embedded document while keeping its contents intact. To edit the embedded document, double-click it on canvas or select it in the Layers panel and click Edit Document in the context toolbar (with the Move Tool selected) to open it in a new document tab. Edit it to your hearts content then close the embedded document tab. All changes will be reflected in the original document. Thanks for your valuable information. It will crucial for me.

km.au Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I noticed that Publisher has an "image manager" of sorts and abillity to link in images. Literally Photoshop would be permanently removed if Affinity photo had this also. Automatic update/linking is incredibly useful.
hexaae Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I agree. If they would implement it, Affinity P could be the real PS-killer.

Dr. Dave Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Just got an e-mail about the spring sale, but I'm still squatting on the fence mostly because of this thread subject. I do quite a bit of mockup work, so I'm curious if something similar to the PS smart object feature will be built into Affinity?

Affinity Designer has symbols which essentially work like symbols in Illustrator or Smart Objects in Photoshop. Anything added inside the layer structure of the symbol updates with all the same symbols located elsewhere in the document. For example, create a symbol of your artwork then add a shirt, mug and poster to your canvas. Then position your duplicate symbols to the print locations for each item. You can then edit anyone of the symbols (the internal layer structure within the symbol) and they'll update live (without having to save your .psb like with Smart Objects). I find it far better workflow wise because you're seeing the changes live. My portfolio | Youtube Channel: Pixel Moshpit | Email: john@johndrawsfor.me
Dr. Dave Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Thanks for that feedback. What about displacement maps - can Affinity do that or something similar? Specifically for apparel projects. Pariah73 1
Dr. Dave Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I hate bumping, but I'm still really curious if something like Photoshop's displacement maps will be implemented sooner than later.
Aammppaa Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 @Dr. Dave adding an unrelated question to an existing thread is likely to get lost or be ignored. In future I suggest starting your own post in the correct forum (Affinity Questions rather than the archived Photo v1.7 Beta forum). Did you search the help for Displacement? https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Filters/filter_displace.html Or the forum? adirusf 1 Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro
Dr. Dave Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 @Aamppaa, you're right - I should have looked around. And thx for the links. Aammppaa 1

I do'nt need that work in same way. But I need that for mockUps and others works pipelines.
