Nice work with your webtoon! I'm someone looking to move completely to Affinity Designer on my iPad! Out of curiosity, why do you: do all of the inking / flatting in procreate but not finish up the colours in procreate? (Or why not do inking/flatting/colour work purely in affinity photo?) do the lettering in Publisher? I don't heavily use Affinity Photo but surely it can do all the lettering just as easily? (Or affinity designer for that matter) It would explain a lot if you were doing the quick-switch features that are available to hop between the different programs, however... (are you using Photo/Designer on the iPad?)

Hi, I've noticed that Affinity Designer when working with vector or with pixel there will be times where the anti-aliasing is straight up jagged at regular levels of zoom. This jaggedness is quite distracting and is one of the major reasons why for a while I was using other drawing apps – but I really want to get back to Affinity Designer! See the attached image for a demonstration of what I mean: the top half is the poor aliasing, while the bottom half is the good aliasing. The red squares are where I zoomed in on the image on the left → took a screenshot → pasted the magnified (& pixelated image). It's hard to depict how noticeable this is on your own screen/via an image, but it is very real. Between the two red squares is a third screenshot of the original document where I zoomed in using affinity designer and took a full screenshot (470% zoom) to show where the pixels are actually located on the source document!

There is no clone / healing brush in affinity designer: for that, you'd have to use Affinity photo.

Hi all, The full-screen option on Affinity Designer for iPad is almost completely broken on the iPad pro. Using my smaller 11" iPad pro, according to a user in this previous report of the bug, my palm is micro-triggering the iPad home menu bar, which causes fullscreen mode to be toggled off. On another note, sometimes I'll be drawing and the context toolbar for brushes will not use palm rejection and random settings will be toggled on (I frequently inadvertently toggle on the "wet edges" setting) It would be quite useful for me if this context bar could be toggled to move to the top of the screen or the left of the screen.

Hi all, I added guidelines to my artwork: I need to split it into four quadrants for my 4-panel comic (and unfortunately grid line custom settings doesn't let me increase square size beyond 256 px..., so grid is of no use to me). I successfully added the blue guidelines, but when in pixel persona on almost any tool, such as the brush tool, the guidelines are hidden from view. Super strange, and super annoying. This seems like an continuation of a bug in an earlier version of Affinity Designer:

This same thing is happening on affinity designer for iPad, super frustrating. AD seems intent in adding in the brush head/tail even though it’s a closed shape. Any solutions yet?

Is there a direct way to save slice/artboard exports to photo gallery instead of the file system? Right now the Instagram app doesn’t support files from the file system and I want to use slices to cut up my comic strip into single panel images that save to photo gallery. I’m aware of the dropdown export > share option, but that seems independent of the export persona and slices.

Yes, I was completely confused by this — I had unintentionally ended up with a merged curves layer after opening some vector artwork that was passed to me. Trying to join two curves saw me futilely pressing the "join curves" button and wondering why nothing was happening: no error or anything. As a stopgap, would it be possible for a error message to pop-up when a user has selected two separate paths on the same curves layer and tries to join them?
