Hi everyone
Ipad Pro(12,9 inch)(2º Gen)
IpadOS 13.3.1
Affinity Photo 1.7.3.155
I bought AP a few weeks ago and I am very disappointed. I find it impressive to be able to have a program with such great features on an Ipad, but I am finding many problems that make it impossible for me to use this program in a reliable and professional way. I hope you can help me. Sorry for my bad English.
The most serious correspond to unexpected AP crashes in diverse situations. I cannot say a specific situation, if at any time I can give more clues I will report it.
Sometimes the program falls asleep and does not recognize the Apple Pencil (I have stopped using it) or the pulsations of my own fingers. I have to hit several times (as if I was playing the piano !!) until it works again. It happens it very often. I have installed other drawing programs on the Ipad (Procreate, Pixelmator, Graphic ...) several internet browsers, etc ... and they all work perfectly, with or without Apple Pencil. I only have these errors with AP.
Another mistake is that sometimes, when using the color panel, when dragging the dropper to take a color sample, the circle of the tool is paralyzed and remains as a "ghost" image on the screen, and no longer disappears until Do not restart the program. I attached an example. It doesn't matter if I close the file and open another one, the "ghost" is still there. The same thing has happened to me once when dragging in the layer panel one layer over another to link them. The image of the dragged layer creates a ghost and stays there until AP reboots.
The last thing that has happened to me, is that when I apply a filter to a layer an icon appears in the lower left of the screen of the active filter. Ok, fine. But if I apply the filter, or cancel it, and then I want to apply another one, there are times when the icon of the first filter remains and the option bar of the new active filter is not the one I want to use now. See the image attached. I have chosen the Gaussian blur filter and I have canceled it, but the icon is still there! In this case that I attached, I want to apply another filter such as detecting edges, and the filter is applied immediately, but without the lower options bar of this new filter appearing without the possibility of being able to edit it, and the Gaussian blur icon is still there, as if still active!. It is not a specific problem with these filters, it happens to anyone else. The adjustments (levels, curves, HSL, etc...) however, seem to work well.
Does something similar happen to someone? With all these problems I find it impossible to use the program. The summary is that the program is horribly unstable
All this is very strange because I do not see in this forum complaints like mine, and I am sure that my Ipad works perfectly because I have been using Procreate for many years handling large files with many layers and I never had a problem
Thank you
