I'm new to Affinity but i'm already impressed - the crop rotate tool is very smart :)

 

Anyway I'm trying to understand the logic of Affinity only saving in it's native format, it's easy enough to export as jpeg or whatever but it seems odd that you can't save in the format you intend to use. 

 

The other thing I'd like is a way to resize including changing the dpi of an image. Maybe it's there but i can't see it. Pixel size is useful but knowing something is a certain size in mm or inches @ 300 dpi is very important for anything that has to be printed. Likewise being able to know immediately how big something at 72dpi is important for web usage. A save for web dialogue would be nice too!

Have you tried using the export persona? The save for web feature is stronger than photoshop/illustrator in many ways with slices. It automatically strips the metadata when you export this way.

I find the document sizing more intuitive, but if you are used to having a document size be whatever then being able to resize on the fly when you save for web it is not the same. Shift+CMD+P to open the document settings to change the resolution and image/canvas size. 

What might be useful is the ability to detach the Document Setup window if you are making a script to batch resize things.
