These tools would be very useful for me:
- improved vector tools!
(better shape builder, knife tool, & joining) - view brushes used on each layer!
(I'm wondering if this remembers the size of the brush or any other changes on the brush settings, or just the brush at its normal settings or last used settings. Although, I recently learned how to create your own brush category, & duplicate brushes so I can save them with various settings.) - style picker tool
(copy & paste styles to other text / objects) - the new interface & new layers panel features
I would also use these:
- measuring tool
(I'm hoping this is in Photo as well, but it might just be in Designer. I've been using the Rectangle tool & the Transform panel to measure things.) - box color picker
- linked content
(new brushes, swatches, etc. automatically available in the other Affinity apps.)
These sound cool, but I'm not sure how much I'd use them:
- vector warp / live mesh warp
(but I have wanted something like this before) - measuring tool can also find the area of an object
- more masking options
- "Smart Layer States" looks useful, but it's only in Photo 2 Desktop. I wish it was in Designer & for the iPad as well. Although, you can create a new layer from the visible layers in Photo already, but this tool is prob. easier & more efficient.
iPad:
- the Quick Menu looks very useful
(But I'm not sure if my fingers can use it, since I have joint problems & "gestures" are hard for me. I need to look at modifying them on my iPad.) - "Command Controller"!
(gives quick access to common modifiers in all tools - like pressing the Control key, etc. on a computer)
