Hello, I'm currently on the checkout page of afffinity v2 universal license, and it's asking me to choose an account type with my (pre-existing from v1) account. I have to choose between personal and education - what is the benefit of either? I'm not buying licenses in bulk and am buying the license for myself, but will be using it for some educational projects and am a university student. I tried searching for an answer but was unable to find one.

Bump. This issue still happens with affinity designer (ipad) v2 as well.

+1 I can open affinity designer files using the open from cloud (which will allow me to save said file back to the cloud), but I don’t see an option to create a blank canvas that’s saved to the cloud. Also export persons doesn’t let me select OneDrive cloud locations.

Seems like the severity of the issue is lessened in Affinity Designer iPad 1.9.1.

Any updates?

Agreed. Designer positions itself as a tool for artists (while Photo positions itself for photographers), and I believe this function is something that’s definitely part of the normal artists workflow. This isn’t as much of an issue on desktop if you’ve shelled out for Publisher as well since you can rapidly switch between Designer and Photo at the click of a button - but iPadOS is dearly missing this feature.

Hi @Sean P that is correct: it only happens on Canvas rotations that aren't 0/90//180/270 degrees! Are there any updates on this bugfix? It's one of the few things that ends up being quite distracting.

Any chance this is being picked up?

I second this: it’s the only feature that i got photo for, but I like designer more

That's okay! The forum categories (i.e. this being filed under iPad) are not very prominent if you're sorting by new posts.

While at times i regret the purchase, I also regret my procreate purchase as well. (And more often use designer than procreate) Affinity Designer as better resize/panning tools and I love that you can use artboards, which is super important if you want to have the other images in your story/comic strip side-by-side rather than needing to exit→look at last panel in a separate file→return. (Exiting a document in procreate causes your undo history to be lost, and creating one-large image for an entire strip won't work well since the uploading sites, e.g. Webtoons, require comics to be broken into panels. Furthermore, Procreate's max layer foolishness really constrains you if you try to create one large image, even if all your layers only have a small amount of pixels.

Oh wow, disabling the "automatically Hide UI in preferences" seems to have helped stop the UI randomly re-appearing! This looks like a bug that could definitely be resolved by an additional boolean toggle under the hood (e.g. did the user trigger this fullscreen? if yes, don't bring back in the tools until they slide in). I've attempted to get a drawing glove from my local art stores but they don't have any... Thank you for your help!

Thank you for this tip! This issue has haunted me for a long while as well – and made me resort to only the pixel persona for artwork as of right now. Have definitely seen it reported in other posts as well....

Love it! Would be cool to see if part of the dog was submerged as well, and he was casting a slight shadow (based on the shadow of the jets, it looks like he should be casting one), and possibly giving him some water-y highlights. Otherwise, superb work Especially with making the background transparent

+1 as well.... or at the very least, a way to quickly toggle between the two apps instead of being forced to save to disk, import, then make edits, save to disk again, import in original program... I understand that Serif has purposely omitted functions in order to prevent too much overlap, but on desktop with studiolink it’s so easy to switch between programs
