“Iconified Option.” What do you mean by this? I do understand that the app doesn’t come with templates preinstalled. I’ve made several in the past in V1 and a few in V2. Just not sure why that icon is missing from the left side of the Main Screen.

Sorry-I posted it in a comment and not here in the quote.

Sure! Sorry it’s not of the whole screen. Here you go:

Hello! Can anyone tell me why the Templates Icon on Affinity Photo for iPad's main screen is missing? I'm on a 6th generation iPad Pro running iOS 16.5.1 and Affinity Photo V2, 2.2.1. Is this a bug or is there a setting that needs to be adjusted? Thank you so much for you help!

Thank you! This was helpful! I’ve been playing around with this and it seems as though the only FX I can’t reset in the way demonstrated in the video is an Outer Shadow. It will rest some of the settings to default, but not all. Could this be a glitch? I tried in both Affinity Photo and Designer. Thanks so much for your responses!

Hi Dan! Thank you so much for the reply and recording, but adjustment layers are not what I am referring to. My issue is with Effects placed on a layer. For example, if I had an Outer Shadow placed on a layer, the default settings are as follows: Opacity 50% Radius 0.0 Offset 0.0 Intensity 0 Let's say I adjust the settings to: Opacity 50% Radius 25 Offset 15 Intensity 10 Then I decide to toggle the Outer Shadow off. If I go back to toggle it on again, the context tool bar shows the adjusted setting, not the default. I am wondering is there a way to have those settings revert to the default settings, as if I was toggling the effect on for the first time, and not the ones I adjusted them to. I hope I am making sense. Kelly

If I place an effect on a layer, and then decide I don’t care for it and I turn that effect off, is there a way for the settings to go back to default if I decide to turn it back on again instead of the original ones appearing I placed on it? Hope I’m making sense! Thanks! kelly

Yep! It's the everything you mentioned!

I have a question about guides. I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or if I’m missing a setting somewhere, but why is it when I turn my guides off on a document in Affinity Photo for iPad, then return to my Home Screen, the guides automatically show up again when I reopen the document? Isn’t there a way to keep them off until I want to turn them back on again?

Hi! I’m hoping I can get some clarification on exporting a file as an Affinity Template and then trying to reopen it again. I created a few template for a tutorial and used the “export as template” option. I saved the template to a folder in iCloud Drive and then closed the file in Affinity. I was under the assumption that in order to open the file again in the app, I could wither “open from cloud” or import from cloud.” But whenever I try the files are grayed out and I am not able to select them. The only way I seem to be able open the file in the app again is to go to the folder in iCloud Drive, select the file and then choose to use Affinity Photo to open it. I feel as though I am missing something. Can anyone clarify what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Since 2018 I have recorded Affinity Photo for iPad tutorials by mirroring my iPad screen to my iMac. I use a third-party software (Reflector 4 by AirSquirrels) to do this and never had a problem until the latest update of Affinity Photo for iPad. I recently tried to mirror Affinity and the screen is distorting the photos and not showing the tool bar or studios. I have contacted the developer of the software, and we both believe this is an issue with Affinity, as none of the other apps I try to mirror have this problem. I am attaching a few files to show the issue. One is a screenshot of how the image is supposed to look, the other is a screenshot of the mirrored image on my mac, and the other is an MP4 demonstrating what happens when I open a file within Affinity while mirroring. Any advice on how to remedy the issue? ReflectorAppIssue.mp4
