Affinity Photo /designer lacks an ability to work with packed RGBA files .If alpha is zero Affinity opens it as a black hole in RGB channels. Also I miss pattern preview from Photoshop . You can construct the same in Designer using symbols. But it would be a mess of layers . Brushes and layer system are both more advanced…

Even though it's shown right there in my account page. Well, I didn't really think it was going to work, but it could have been a fun…
