I've been using the trial for the past day and have found a bunch of essential features missing that are preventing me from switching from Photoshop.

Exporting:
- Export a path or shape to .svg

Selections:
- Make a color selection on every instance of a color (not just the ones touching the initial point) e.g like photoshop’s Select > Color Range...

Layers:
- Clipping Mask
- Adjustment layers? e.g so I can apply an effect to all the layer below

Warping:
- More advanced perspective warp,similar to photoshop’s perspective warp.
- Facial detection aware warping, similar to photoshop’s liquify face aware.

I'm probabaly missing a bunch but those are the things I noticed when trying to switch.

I just received a response from Andrius. Nearly everything I've mentioning here is planned for a future update!

Clipping mask is definitely the feature I'm missing the most. Is it coming anytime soon?

I see almost everything mattijs asked for on the above list is now implemented except for Warping
Warping:
- More advanced perspective warp,similar to photoshop’s perspective warp.
- Facial detection aware warping, similar to photoshop’s liquify face aware.
Anything on the roadmap for either of these?

You can use group changes to apply to all layers.
