Smart Objects are a powerful feature in Affinity Photo 2 that allow you to edit and manipulate layers non-destructively. This means that you can make changes to a Smart Object without affecting the original image data. This is a great way to experiment with different edits and effects without having to worry about ruining your original image.
To access Smart Objects in Affinity Photo 2, simply select the layer you want to convert to a Smart Object and go to Layer > Convert to Smart Object. You can also create a new Smart Object by going to File > New > Smart Object.
