Would love to see this as well - either as a full editor or a subset of the tools such as Inpainting etc. much like the Mac version has.

Hi, it seems this is still an issue with RAW files. I realise it probably isn’t a priority issue but will it still be addressed at some point?

I personally would stick with the lower capacity models for this generation if you don't need the extra capacity and the next generation will likely have a minimum of 6GB across the full range of Pros. As for the whole laptop replacement argument, I think of it more as a laptop alternative. Apps like Affinity Photo mean I no longer need a MacBook Pro - which I sold - but I do have my desktop Mac in my office when I need something more traditional.

This can be hidden for full screen apps - it is up to the developer so it appears this should be possible for Affinity Photo.

Are there any plans for Batch Processing or similar file management for the iPad? I just think if we want to work on a number of images and then move them on, we need some kind of batch processing e.g. to select a few images and export them with a preset such as file dimensions, watermark etc.

Are there any plans for Photos Extension on iPad? Would make a huge difference to how we can work with images.

Another vote for this. The ability to use AP as an extension for iPad Photos would make up for some of the deficiencies in file management in AP.

Yes, I’ve seen this video. It’s a good technique but you are limited to how many images you can capture before trails will start to appear once stacked. You are also more or less forced to use a higher ISO to start with introducing extra noise that you are trying to defeat in the first place. It’s all a balancing act I guess but star alignment would be a great addition imho.

There are some stacking options in AP but I would love to see star stacking for astrophotography that would automate star alignment. Is this something that could be implemented?

Thank you very much - works great!

I was watching the excellent Tone Mapping Portraits tutorial by @James Ritson and was curious how to achieve the invert layer on the iPad when applying the unsharp mask and high pass filters so you can paint in the effect only on the eye region. Does anyone know how this is done? Alternatively a version of the tutorial for the iPad would be a great comparison video.

Does anyone wish to see this improved or is it something the Affinity team can address?

I've been playing with the Motion Blur Filter to blur clouds in the sky similar to a very long exposure. The range of motion does seem quite limited though and I would love to see this increased so we can add more perceived motion when blurring. Same would apply to the desktop version as well.

Hi MEB. I need to apologise because I thought there was a tolerance slider on the Smart Selection Tool in Photo and there isn't. I thought there was a disparity between the two apps - got to love my attention to detail! Thanks, Andy.

Not sure if I have missed this somewhere but it seems the Smart Selection tool has no threshold option? If so, is this something that can be added? I had an issue with a solid block of colour and the selection spilling into an adjacent colour. I could correct this by using the subtract option and clicking on the adjacent colour but a threshold option should avoid this scenario. Oh, and congrats on Designer for the iPad. I don't have a huge need for it but after being so impressed with Photo, Designer was an instant purchase for me.

+1 for this. I'm sure others have raised this and ideally we need a way to select and manage multiple images. I would also love a list view instead of thumbnails or the option for smaller thumbnails to make managing a lot of images easier too.

To rotate an image, in the Photo persona, click the second icon at the top left (Sheet of paper with corner turned over and 3 dots inside) and select orientation > rotate.

A little video tutorial on this would be very welcome by the community I’m sure as it is a neat solution.

This is no longer an issue, video is not shown when importing from Photos.

FYI. AP is still loading the original image from Photos, even if you make edits in Photos first i.e. AP does not load the latest version of an image from Photos so I couldn’t even bump the shadows in Photos first before passing to AP for further editing.

Hi Justin, just tried again and still happening with both RAW and JPG, even if I convert the jpg to 32/HDR first before going to develop. I have attached both a RAW and jpg for you to check. Given the proximity of the sparkles, it looks like it is greatly amplifying sensor noise. I have uploaded 2 samples to https://www.dropbox.com/sh/41q98oex0dwph2l/AAA6KzK2HhjPqHRBvqPDdHOia?dl=0

Unfortunately today’s new beta has made no difference to this issue.

Patrick, I've had email problems recently. Can you PM me on here instead and I'll share shipping details. It was me, right?

Are you on the latest beta as well? I'll try the retail version when I get home to compare.

Yup, that is with shadows at 1%. It gets much worse as you increase the shadows.
