Photo also degrades images by blurring them. You see it when you’re building a composition and merging layers as you go; the underlying image gets blurrier and blurrier. Photo simply can’t be trusted not to ruin your work.

This has come up repeatedly in the forums as new users discover it. And yep, the apologists cried and thrashed, issuing one ridiculous excuse after another. Even someone from Affinity.

I wish someone there would teach me about layer blending. I still don’t get it after building high-end compositing software for film.
