  1. Hi Miguel, That particular post only refers specifically to Importing from Photos, and is good to know. Is Exporting to Photos also being worked on?
  2. Hmmm, I hadn't yet noticed that you couldn't export to Photos. One kinda' assumes (yeah, yeah) that if one can Import from a source that one can also export to that source. This seems like an oversight since using the app in the field is a big part of having Affinity Photo on a device and being able to review and compare and display images in Photos is much handier than having to swap them in and out of the cloud. I'm hoping this is something that will be added and fairly soon.
  3. Callum, apparently that was a temporary glitch in my system. I just re-loaded the original raw of that image and split screen is working normally. A restart of Photo may have "fixed" it since I just ran into another oddity during that test. The first time I re-loaded that image, it came in as RAW but the Basics panel looked like this. However, a restart of Affinity Photo fixed that and the next time I re-loaded it everything was normal. Apparently, I need to remember to do an app restart when unexpected things happen. :)
  4. Hi Callum, Thanks for the help. Your answer is half-right. :) Clicking the Rotate button...in the Crop tool...a second time changes the orientation from Portrait to Landscape. A neat function that I was unaware of. That solves the issue I was having. However, Rotate in the Crop tool acts the same way in iOS as it did in OS. Put your cursor above the center top node and you can manually rotate the image (not the grid) to the desired angle. Or did I misunderstand what you were saying?
  5. When using Straighten in Crop, the grid appears in Portrait orientation and the top node where you can actually rotate the image is off-screen. It's unhandy and a right royal pain to have to drag the grid down every time! Why not use the Straighten tool instead? Because Rotate is faster and easier if you have a good eye for level. At least, it would be faster and easier if you didn't have to go chasing the grid every time. Could this please be fixed to fit both the size and orientation of the image like it is when simply doing a crop?
  6. If your laptop get yanked off and breaks, it's not going to console you much that you were only surfing instead of "working."
  7. Thanks, JFisher! That explains why using it on a layer with no transparency had no effect. :)
  8. In the Brush Context Bar at the bottom of the screen, there is a Color section with 3 small icons to the right. I can see the changes in the brush when I select either of the two small icons but what does the one on the far right do? If I select it, then nothing happens when I try to paint with the brush. What am I overlooking?
  9. I've only tried it once, in order to try and answer the OP's question, using an image I had just developed. In History, it says "Raster smart selection brush." I didn't have to activate any Rasterize command. Just selected, copied, and pasted.
  10. In Develop Persona, when using Split Screen in the Details Studio the image is larger in the After side than in the Before size. For me, this makes it harder to evaluate subtle changes. Is this an oversight or am I missing some advantage to the size difference?
  11. As far as I can tell (with extremely limited use) from looking at History selections are automatically rasterized.
  12. I'm not a power user; I do mostly photo editing for personal use. But I shoot RAW and usually make a number of adjustments on an image and I'm happy with the performance of my Air 2.
  13. In Selections Persona, make your selection. Go to Photo Persona. Under the Commands menu, choose Copy, then choose Paste. Your selection will be copied to a new layer. If this was not clear or you have further questions, please ask. Someone else will have to answer your question about copying and pasting between multiple images.
  14. A new way to increase sales, maybe? Breaking your laptop means buying a new one?
  15. Affinity Photo for the iPad runs ONLY on the iPad Pro, the AirPad 2, and (some?) 2017 iPads. Not sure of the last bit refers to all 2017 iPads or only some models.
  16. I'm thoroughly enjoying it on the AirPad 2. I think you will as well.
  17. I'm happy using it on an AirPad 2 which doesn't support the Pencil. I haven't tried every function or action but so far everything is working perfectly with simple finger or dumb-stylus touches/swipes.
  18. I just downloaded from the App Store, it clearly says "Air Pad 2."
  19. No apology needed, Miguel. I had just flat over-looked the extra Add Layer option in Designer. Kept trying to make it work using Designer's Add Pixel Layer icon. :rolleyes:
  20. I had missed the Add Layer icon in Designer. Thanks for solving the puzzle for me.
  21. Is this supposed to happen in the Windows or Mac versions? In the Mac versions (beta 1.6) of both Designer and Photo, right-clicking in the layer panel as you suggest does not list Properties as an option. What am I doing wrong or not understanding here?
  22. A better analogy would be if you had a car where the dash panel was black and the speedometer dial was an extremely dark gray. Then you would see the value in "a new color." Not all cosmetic changes are purely cosmetic.
  23. I think 9/10s of the problems I've had adjusting...trying to adjust...to Affinity have been caused by the Crop tool! It's been the biggest waster of my time that I've ever encountered in any program. I love Affinity, or at least I want to, and I understand the need to differentiate it from Photoshop but re-inventing the wheel just to put lumps on it is not an improvement. Crop and Resize Canvas have both taken an idiot-simple process in Photoshop and turned it into an unintuitive---if you're coming from Photoshop and after all, Photo is aiming to pull former Photoshop users---multi-step exercise in frustration. Rant over.
