    Tony Hawthorne got a reaction from tanukiwink in iPad 12.9 icon sizes too small   
    Hi Guys,
    What became of this topic, please? Since the icon sizes were reduced on 12.9 iPads it's become impossible to select any of them with a finger. Previous version had larger icons and I believe a number of people asked about this when it was changed. Were any options added to let us use larger icons?
    I'm still unable to activate anything unless using an apple pencil and the help button on the bottom right is right on the corner curve where the iPad touch screen doesn't respond very well. I'm lucky if I can get the help tooltips to display for more than a second as the area of contact is way too small.
    Is there a solution, please?

    Tony Hawthorne reacted to smadell in Fill layers to dodge and burn   
    You can't use a "Fill Layer" here because Affinity Photo treats that as a vector object. You can't paint on a Fill Layer. Instead, add a new Pixel Layer (or just choose "New Layer" from the Layer menu) and then fill it with 50% grey. Set the blend mode to Overlay. If you paint with white, you will Dodge. If you paint with Black, you will Burn.
    Suggestion: use a brush with 0% (or very, very low) hardness, and with 2-5% Flow. I usually keep the Opacity at 100%. The low Flow rate lets the strokes build up slowly, especially helpful if you're using a tablet.
    I've attached a macro that you can import into your Library panel. This will create the layer for you.
