Preview for export persona

[pmi]

I have affinity photo and affinity designer from four years, 
I can't believe still I can't preview the image before saving it. 
This is urgent for all web designers and content managers.
Thanks a lot

Yes, this is a serious game changer and it almost was for me too, but the price of inconvenience vs the price of paying Adobe is just Tom Foolery.

Macavi mentioned 2 alternatives. I wasn't really wild about the image batch create. I wanted an image preview.

So I did a little research and found this page with 12 alternatives.   https://alternativeto.net/software/imageoptim/

It looks like there are at least 3 alternatives with image preview. Riot  and  Caesium looked pretty good to me.

BTW: One procedure, while using Affinity, around this a focused generalization where you export 3 or 4 images then focus in on the closest one to what you want. Yes, it is time consuming, but since 2012 exacting the correct K-weight economy for the optimum display is not as essential as it was in 2004. Think about it, the average cell phone image to Farcebook is around 2G. My guestimation is that soon browsers will just do the image optimization on their own. 

Don't let petty inconveniences sway you from a perfectly good software such as Affinity!

😎🤗 Okay up Date : 

I downloaded for FREE,  RIOT - Radical Image Optimization Tool .  It works spectacular, just what I wanted!

• Super easy interface
• light weight download
• Place to enter metadata
• Inter specific K-weight feature and it will give you that K-weight
• Real time preview. 

I hope this helps you all! 

Cheers, Katphood

+1 for export preview

Since 1.9, a very basic preview is now possible when exporting, but not in the export persona. It's better than nothing, but let's hope improvements are in the pipeline...

Some other threads about this:

A preview of the export in export persona would be extremely helpful. 
A button at in the top toolbar to toggle the preview, maybe even a split screen would be great.

Adobe Fireworks users betrayed by Adobe are desperate for a good alternative ... Save for web preview  would be invaluable... Fireworks still has the best option of anything out there...

+1. An essential feature!
