There have been longstanding threads about this that go back to when Affinity Photo originally came out. There has been mixed responses from Serif as to whether or not this will happen. Look up forum requests for a DAM or Lightroom equivalent.

The settings I am referring are the ones found here with "Light", "Dark" and "Auto".

What I am referring to is that I have "default os" set, but it doesn't change from light to dark mode like it should when "Auto" is set in the macOS settings: it only shows dark mode.

Check the resources section as some have made templates available for calendars. Here is one.

I do like the v2 upgrade, but wanted to mention an issue that was present in v.1 and remains with the UI. I have the appearance in macOS set to "Auto". This changes the UI from light to dark mode during the day. However with the preference set to "Default OS" in the Affinity programs they stay in dark mode.

Also if you download the programs from the macOS app store or for iPad there is a trial option when you first start the program.

The current v. 1.10 iPad apps for Affinity Designer and Photo are about 1.5Gb in size so you could go with 64Gb, but it would depend on how many files you have. Probably want to wait until they release the new versions to find out about any change there.

The question that many seem to want to know, but only Serif have the answer and are staying mostly silent, though I think it is because they are working on a major update. The iPad version of Publisher is still to come, advertised as coming soon.

A response in another thread that Javascript will be used in the future for scripting.

I haven't used it much, but if you're on the Mac a low cost 2D option is CADintosh X by the same developer as GraphicConverter.

See this post about creating a shortcut and then adding it to the share menu.

Have a great break and thanks everyone for your work.

While not giving you a trial, there are some tutorial videos that you could have a look at.

There isn't an option right now for a light UI on the iPad. There is a feature request thread here.

Yes, I agree. There were requests for this with the desktop apps and it was added later. I think that the option to have a light option should have been carried over when the iPad apps came out.

What does it say? I had a similar issue, but going to the product page it said "Install" and selecting that allowed me to update.

I've now purchased for iPad. (after Photo and the desktop apps) My request for both Designer and Photo on iPad is to make the Help documentation accessible from documents. I find it limiting to simply have it from the home screen.

I had the same issue. It didn't show on the updates page and instead showed "Install" for Photo and Designer on the "Purchased" page. Selecting that worked for me, but not how I expect the Mac App Store to work.

I also think that it would be good to see sub-forums and that the divisions used in the Feature Request forums could be used. There may be commonality, but there are major differences as each program serves a different purpose.

In the top corner there is a + button for opening and importing files. You can then access the select from Files by choosing iCloud.

Also on a Mac I find if it is verified in an Administrator account as opposed to a Standard account can make a difference too.

I don’t see an option for a light UI. It would be helpful to have that as currently I find it hard to make out the icons. I think they were made smaller so that doesn’t help either. I’m using a 9.7” iPad.

A non-destructive layer is listed on their roadmap, so it should come sometime.

For the iPad updates would come through the App Store.

The original RAW files aren't changed. After selecting the develop persona and are in the Photo persona you can work on the photo and save in the Affinity Photo format or another graphics format. Currently the operations in the develop persona aren't non-destructive, but that means you can't go back after you have processed the image, but that doesn't affect the original image. A non-destructive develop persona is listed on the roadmap for the program.
