In Affinity Photo there are a couple ways.  Go to the View tool (hand) and in the tool bar there is a "Units" field which can be set to inches.  You can also do it in the menu Document>Resize document.

Hi JAG1943,

Welcome to the forums

Currently there's no way to change your default units in Affinity, you can set all your document presets to use Inches, however if you use File>Open to open an image it will always use Pixels until this is changed - the quickest way is by using the Context Toolbar option with the Move View Tool (hand) active, as Gear maker has mentioned above!

I think you meant to say the View Tool.
