Guys, this needs to become a part of Photo and Designer (and Publisher, when it comes to iPad). Here's hoping for version 2.0!

Another version, another plea to add real modifier keys to the iPad version. Maybe since we're so close to V2, we'll see it then, along with brush size preview. One can dream. I still love almost everything about this app, keep it up guys.

Since this feature hasn't been implemented yet, I'd like to add to the ask. It would be great if not only did we get a brush size preview, but also a secondary outer radius that indicates the feathering based on brush softness, ala capture one's brush (I think lightroom's does this as well).

Separate app? Do you work for Serif? Otherwise, how do we know if it would be a separate app or built into the existing apps? As far as functionality, let's agree to disagree.

Just revisiting this, you say it should be the same thing, but earlier you say the values probably need to change for 16 bit. Which is it? BTW, thanks for your work on this.

Unfortunately, this feature request has not been addressed yet. It's definitely possible, as I believe Procreate has had this forever, but I haven't used that app in years, so maybe I'm misremembering. Anyway, i hope the devs still have it on their to-do list as I think it's an important feature.

bump

In light of the news that Adobe has now made their fonts available on iPhone and iPad, I'd like to officially request that this be added to future versions of Designer and Photo for iPad. Thanks https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/01/adobe-font-library-iphone-ipad/

Just tried this and didn’t realize the iPad version lacked the sources panel. Please bump this for consideration, thanks.

While we’re still waiting for a persistent display of the brush cursor, it might be good to have a cursor similar to the one in Capture One (and I believe Lightroom), where there’s an inner circle showing you where the brush is at 100% and an outer circle showing where the feather ends. Using the brush in C1, I can easily make precise masks using the inner circle. Lately, I’ve been trying to do more of my retouching/color work on iPad, but masking is nowhere near as precise because if the brush cursor. Love what you guys are doing, can’t wait for DAM functionality.

+1, but I think this will come with the long-awaited DAM functionality.

I'm not sure when this issue returned, I've just been dealing with it. There used to be an issue where if you tried to make a slow deliberate stroke with certain tools, the eyedropper or loupe would come up as you "painted". A few versions back, this was fixed. Now it's back and annoying as ever. In my particular case, when I use the healing brush to carefully diminish lines, the loupe comes up and makes it hard for me to see the path I'm trying to follow. This once again brings up the issue of the modifier keys and why we need them as I believe if the modifier keys were added onscreen persistently, you could change the behavior of some of these tools so they don't require a long press, which I think is what Photo is registering these long deliberate strokes as. If the modifier keys were added, the behavior of these tools could more closely mimic the behavior on desktop and these inadvertent "switches" could be avoided. Please give us proper modifier keys on screen...all the time. Not everyone wants to use a physical keyboard with iPad. Thanks for your consideration.

I posted this as a question a while ago, but wanted to get this on the feature thread, so here it is. As I've moved most of my photo work to iPad, I'd love to be able to the same for the modest amount of design work I do. Having optical text alignment would help me tremendously.

Bumping again

While trying to nudge JPEGmini developers about releasing a standalone iOS app, I came across their SDK info to build it into existing apps. Since the only app I'd care to use it with is Affinity Photo, well, here I am. It would be great if we could export and have the final jpegs go through JPEGmini as I think it's the best around right now. Info below. https://www.jpegmini.com/developers

Bumping as I think this is an important feature

Thanks for the quick answer. Can this be moved to suggestions, or should I open a new topic in that section?

I’m curious if Designer on iPad has optical alignment of text. If so, where is the option found? In my searches on the web, I only found discussions pertaining to Publisher. Thanks in advance.

Now that we’ve gotten quite a bit of core functionality in this awesome software (still hoping for true, persistent modifier keys), it would be great to finally get non-destructive RAW workflow. I know it’s been talked about in the past.

I don't know what you mean about not being able to load RAW files on the iPad, but I assure you, this is not the case. You only go into Develop persona if you've loaded a RAW and there are numerous ways to do this on iPad. Maybe I'm not understanding exactly what you mean.

It would be good for Serif to give people who don't own or don't care to use a keyboard a way to access these common modifiers on screen... not hidden. A critical one that comes to mind is the brush to color picker switch which happens on desktop with a modifier and drag. Right now, this kind of sucks on the iPad version as you have to use your finger to access color picker when using a brush. Or use the hidden modifiers, which sorry, kinda suck. Photoshop is right around the corner and it will have modifiers, it has to. I think Photo does too.

HSV mode is gone...for now. i believe it is going to be added back eventually as myself and others have cited our displeasure of it's absence.

Bumping for the next version, as I think this is very important and could help people perceive this app as more Pro

Another version, another bump. I think this is very important to have at the RAW development stage before you throw away info during conversion.

I get that this is possible, but it shouldn't be necessary if the assets panel works properly with tiffs. Thanks though, not being snarky.
