Writing this reply on my iPad Pro 10.5!! I only bought it so I could use Affinity Photo... All works fine, apart from the Apple keyboard. Had to send that back. The front edge wouldn't lie flat on a desk which made typing unpleasant...! Pencil is quite interesting. Hope you sort out the lack of sound in the tutorials with the next update

Great, this is what I need. It would be fantastic if Affinity Photo on the iPad can work in exactly the same way as on Photos on my Mac. What I do now in the field is copy my images from the camera into my camera roll on my iPad. They then get copied automatically, with edits, to my main computer at home. To be able to use Affinity Photo to edit on the iPad and be able to tweak those edits on the Mac, keep the history, etc, without any complicated duplicating or saving would be great.

Thanks Bart, yes, I've used a workaround like you suggested in the past. I guess what we need is a 360-degree toggle in Affinity at some point. Though, this morning, I've been brushing up on Photomatix and there seem to be lots of free presets available on-line these days, some of which do quite a good job of tone-mapping in different styles that are useful. Some presets like this in Affinity would be good too :)

Any responses from Affinity? I can edit the LDR equirectangular image anytime in Affinity Photo with no issues. This is great for fixing small errors, a little easier than using patches in Pano2VR, great. This updates the file in Pano2VR so fits in perfectly with my workflow. But the seam / join is always there if I try and tone map the 32 bit exr equirectangular image with Affinity Photo, forcing me to use Photomatix instead. So a fix or some background info would be very much appreciated, thanks :D BTW: I've also setup my Mac to open .psd files directly in Affinity Photo now and configured the round trip option as well. This means Affinity Photo opens the Pano2VR patches (with can only be .psd files at the moment) directly and saves them too. So goodbye Photoshop, hooray! Adding a vector based logo at the bottom of the pano with a Pano2VR .psd patch is still editable once added and saved by Affinity Photo too. Some examples here: http://www.fachwen.org/panos/170120-fachwen/ http://www.fachwen.org/panos/170419-bigil/

I stitched a 360 panorama today and outputted a 32bit .exr file from PTGui. I tried to process this in Affinity Photo's HDR persona to tone map the final image. Unfortunately the tone mapped tiff has a visible join in it. You can see this in the screenshot taken when the tiff was in Pano2VR. So I've had to go back to my old workflow using Photomatix Pro which has an option to eliminate this join when tone mapping from the 32 bit file to the LDR tiff. Is there a workaround for this in Affinity Photo? Thanks,

Agree, would be nice to know how Affinity is able to recognise the EM1 Mk 2 raw files when the Mac OS itself doesn't yet ! Do you think it's applying the baked in lens corrections properly?

Just wondering what the timescale is likely to be a supporting this new camera body. Guessing you are dependant on Apple for this? Also, is it possible to know which lenses are known about in Affinity Photo so that distortions, etc are corrected automatically? Thanks.

Excellent, thanks. It's quite staggering really how software tools like this improve year on year. What used to take an age can now be done relatively painlessly :-)

I've just seen the video demonstrating 360° panorama editing and touch up on the iPad Pro. This looks really interesting, I create quite a few of these and while I can do this already with the tools I have, this tool looks a little easier to use. I think it also lets you work directly with 32bit .exr files? I'd like to know if or when these tools are likely to be available in the Mac desktop version, I'd buy it immediately!! Thanks, Keith
