Thanks for the tip donka I was pulling my hair out with is one. Well, what little I have of it

Found an issue with Panoramas that appears to be 100% repeatable:
 
 
Load some images for a panorama.
Once rendered, click the transform tool and make any minor transformation.
Render the panorama.
Now hit apply and the app will crash.
 
 
This will happen with only 2 or more images and this is happening with JPGs straight from an iPhone 6s.
If I load the same images but don't use the transformation tool, I can hit apply and the panorama is successfully saved.
 

I do agree with you mostly. But
 
A. The feature is there, so i am goign to abuse it ;)
B. The 10.5 pro stacked 154 images in 13min and 15 sec, while my iMac13,2 stacked the exact same 154 images in exactly 11min. With a shorter stack of 17 images the iPad did it in 44sec and the iMac in 52sec. With a stack of about 40 images the iPad was 1min57sec and the iMac in 2min16sec. So the performance with the latest ipad is actually quite good. With shorter stacks where most of the time is I/O, it appears like the fast solid state storage makes it even a little bit faster. The larger the stack of images, the more it starts to favor my iMac.
 
So it is a little bit silly, but not as ridiculous as it looks. If the only thing I have with my is my ipad while Im out, it is nice to know that I can be tethered to my camera and make previews, or even full sized images if I want to. 
 
With is pretty awesome IMO. 

It's kinda distressing to see a thousand nitpicks on this forum. Let me share my experience (which dates back to the Quantel Paintbox in the 1980s through EVERY version of Photoshop through 2016.)
 
This app is amazing. Beautifully done. Great UI design. Embraces the limitations of Apple's locked down ecosystem without being shackled by it. It was the first app I loaded on a brand new iPad Pro 10.5 —and it may well be that solid hardware is a big part of the equation. I didn't even try to load it on our still quite functional iPad Air 2, because it only has 16GB of storage and we constantly have to offload stuff to keep going.
 
After installing the Mac beta of Affinity Photo, I was able to round-trip project files painlessly. Amazing. I can open up layered Photoshops from the distant past. SVG support is terrific (and yeah, I'll be in line for Affinity Designer on the iPad too.)
 
This app serves up the excitement I had when I first used Photoshop. I can't give it any higher compliment.
 
Don't stop now!

Hi Moriturimax,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
With the layer selected, switch to the Flood Fill Tool, set the Mode to Erase and the Tolerance to 100% in the context toolbar on the bottom then tap the screen.

Good morning,
 
after I did some tests with Affinity Photo on my iMac I decided to wait for the new iPad Version. Bought now Affinity Photo for iPad and a new 12,9" iPad Pro :-)
 
However, I´m missing the Support to edit Photos from within the Apple Photos App using the Extension function. Also when using Affinity Photos and opening photos from Apples Photos (iCloud) from the App there is only a very small PopUp to open a photo. Hopefully there will be a better / bigger overview in the future. I´m handling all my photos with Apples Photo App (>40k photos) and it will be tricky to find a photo Please integreate the function to "overwrite" an already existing photo with the edited one keeping the possibility to reset changes later on. This was one of the most interesting functions for me using Affinity Photo on my iMac as I don´t need to Keep duplicates (edited and non edited Versions) Hope I could make clear what I´m missing and looking forward for your comments and hopefully improvements with the next update.
 
Thx., Michael

Thanks,
 
Your last two suggestions have been implemented in the new beta (coming today!).
 
I agree with the other suggestions too - we will get them done.

I'm enjoying Photo for the most part but have the following wish. The ability to use the Photos app as a catalog i.e. from within AP, you can open the camera roll of the iPad and open images directly without the need to import first. Any changes made to the image are saved within AP but you then have the option of saving these changes back to the camera roll (photos app) or exporting as a new image. This also opens up the door for batch exporting.
Consider the following example:

I import 200 wedding photos onto the iPad. Currently if I wanted to work on these images in AP, I would need to import each one individually, make any changes and then export each one individually.
With the feature I am requesting, you could browse through all 200 images without the need to individually import each one. This makes it much faster to work through all 200 images and make any edits. Now when complete, you can select all 200 images in AP and export as a single operation with some global settings such as resize, sharpen or adding a watermark.
 
A couple of apps I use today already offer this way of working and it is much quicker than importing individual images. The apps for reference are Photogene and Polarr - both available on the App Store although it appears Photogene has been abandoned as it hasn't been updated in a couple of years.
 

Hi Andy, I definitely wasn't imagining this but I'll be damned if I can recreate the issue now. I tried last night on 3 different iPads and the adjustments layer deletion worked as expected.
You can ignore this report and I'll come back with replication steps if it does happen again.
I had it in the evening and the following morning but I'm wondering if it was a one off issue and I hadn't restarted the app between tries.
 
Cheers, Andy.

Hi,
 
The lack of thumbnails in some categories is not because they are complicated - its just that we don't ship any presets for those adjustments. The main "adjustments" list allows adding of all adjustments in their default state. The other lists allow adding of adjustment presets - which you can create from each adjustment tool.
 
That said, I agree to an extent..
 
I have created my own adjustment presets for the adjustments which I use frequently - and removed the default ones. Now I get useful thumbnails everywhere - including the main list (which uses the first preset if available).
 
Soon, we will add the ability to switch to a simple list of adjustment names instead of thumbnails - as well as the ability to sort the list by most-frequently-used, as opposed to alphabetically - which at times I do find frustrating.
 
Hope this helps,

I genuinely think Photogene was ahead of it's time on iOS and still outdoes many apps out there. I know I would love to see the file management and export options replicated in Affinity Photo.

I use the in-painting tool more than the clone stamp, yet every time I edit a new photo, I have find the in-painting tool under the clone stamp. I think the app should remember the last tool used and keep it selected between photos.

I just wanted say I was genuinely impressed by the quality of adjustment and output when developing some Nikon RAW files. It's not the kind of performance you would expect on the iPad and I need to remind myself that this genuinely is pro quality software and reevaluate my expectations of what is possible on the platform now.
A big well done to the team.

I notice the vignette effect is quite subtle and needs to be pushed quite hard to get the desired effect. I realise this makes it appear more natural but often you will want it darker for creative reasons. You can stack a couple of vignette adjustments to make it darker but it would be good if the effect was stronger to begin with as it seems the adjustment control has a lot of range to allow for this.

Just wanted to say thanks for fixing this so quickly :-)

It would be good to have an option on the home screen to quickly select multiple images and delete instead of having to bring up the context menu individually and confirm each deletion.

I'm a little confused by this. At first I was genuinely shocked there was no export to camera roll option but I see on the export page there is a share option which will let you save the edited file to the camera roll.
Just wondering why this is a separate option on the export page and I'm assuming this will work for most people.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
 
To all readers. This problem is being addressed as we speak. The developers think that they have a solution and if it passes testing this fix will be put into a release build very quickly. We appreciate that this is not a situation that customers want to continue for long.

One more vote for direct RAW import from the Photos library. I congratulate you for developing this full featured editing app and I am enticed to use it. I presently utilize LR mobile and love the ability to go back and forth between my iPad Pro (256GB) and my desktop. I can download raw files to my iPad, import the raw files directly from Photos, do editing in LR Mobile and then continue editing on the desktop because certain edit features are still not available on LR Mobile. Affinity for IPad potentially eliminates having to go to the desktop. But the inability to bring in raw photos directly from iPad Photos is a big disappointment for me.

Yup, was hoping this would be in beta by now so we would offer some feedback and identify any issues. The videos posted previously certainly appeared to be a late alpha build at the very least.

This! I bought Affinity Photo and an iPad Pro in anticipation of it being release for the iPad. This would be amazing for my workflow and is basically *the* killer app for the iPad Pro. I'm sure there are some really good reasons why it hasn't been launched yet but for those of us patiently waiting it's agonizing. In the future please don't announce a product so far in advance! It leads to false expectations and by the time it's actually released diminished excitement. Purely speculative but I wonder if the delay has to do with the focus on Affinity for Windows and ensuring that it syncs seamlessly with that version as well?
 
If I knew we'd see something in the next couple months I'd invest in moving my workflow over to Affinity products completely but without any kind of timeline it's hard for professionals to make these kinds of decisions. 
 
Note that even though I don't actively use Affinity Photo and I'm critical of their iPad release timeline I'm still a huge champion / evangelist and will continue to recommend and purchase any of their photography related products! I want to see Affinity continue to succeed and I only post because I'm invested in that outcome.
