I vote for this too: dark background option for artboards on iPad.

Thanks iuli, 👍 I’ll keep that in mind. It would be silly of me not to try out all that AD offers just because it’s not technically a true vector. I’m starting to explore what vector art is all about, and I’m totally mindblown by what this app can do.

Thanks iuli, Just to be safe, I think I’ll stick with the pen, pencil, and shapes tools when I want absolutely nothing to be rasterized. I guess that also means stay away from layer fx, transparency gradients, and fill gradients— right? In other words, do gradients look pixelated when resized and printed to a large scale?

Thanks Garry and Walt, this helps me choose the right brush/pencil for those projects where I want to be able to scale it really big (or at least know that it can be easily done if I wanted to). A few other questions: 1. How about if a Layer FX (such as Gaussian Blur) is applied to the pencil stroke? Does the true vector turn into a bitmap/raster applied along the path? 2. Do all Layer FX do this? 3. Is there any indication on a vector brush that tells me it’s a true vector brush? I try not to zoom in to the extreme because that causes the app to automatically close on me sometimes.

How about the pencil tool? Is the pencil tool a true vector tool?

Alfred, I’m asking for a “Clone Tool” function for Affinity Designer for iPad, but your question is also a great suggestion. Yes, a “Protect Alpha for Clone Tool” feature would also be greatly appreciated!

Along with “Protect Alpha for Pixel Tool” please add “Clone Tool” to the feature request list for iPad.

Edit: “Erase Tool” doesn’t need “Protect Alpha”! My mistake!

Stokerg, would you also login a feature request for “Protect Alpha” for “Smudge Tool” and “Erase Tool” for iPad (along with “Pixel Tool”)? Thank you so much, I’m so looking forward to using these added features in the (near) future!
