Hi guys Just had an email informing of some update to AP the iOS version and it says it’s compatible with IPad Air 2? ,I thought AP was only compatible with IPad Pro have I missed something or has it just recently become ok for other Ipad’s? thanks Steve

Hi guys Had this offer sent in an email from Affinity, I may have missed something but is AD available on ios now ??. thanks Steve

On your head be it :-))

Cheers Alfred,now ordered :-)

Hi folks I'm thinking of buying the Affinity Designer work book but having AD 1.6 installed I assume the book does not cover 1.6 is there much difference between 1.5 and 1.6 or might there be a 1.6 version imminent?. Thanks Steve

My Xp-Pen Star05 tablet has worked perfectly with AP from day 1. Steve

Hi guys Focus stacking seems to be working fine for me, I have a bit of ghosting to clear (arrowed) which I haven`t worked out how to do yet but delighted with how AP is progressing best Steve

Scrolling through library works fine now thanks :-)) Steve

+1 for me too. Steve

Thanks g much appreciated. Steve

Great stuff, many thanks Ronnie and George. Steve

Hi guys I`m often blown away by the works of art done by folk on the forum and would dearly love to get into that but never having drawn stuff before it would be great for some pointers from you experts how to get started in this please?. Did you guys start off your drawing careers the conventional (?) way using paper,paints, pencils etc and then move onto digital?. I have a registered copy of Artrage 4 (before I`d heard of AD ) which I got for the kids which I`ve had a play with. Any tuts,books you could recommend would be great ! Thanks cheers Steve

Thanks guys. Definitely getting there with the opening speed of raw`s, 26mb NEF in 5 secs now cheers Steve

Well thats weird it won`t` let me show the youtube link! ah I have to use the `link` icon doh! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI9AWVfzrc4

Cheers for that James at least it can be done will just have to suss out which tut ;). Think it might be this one . regards Steve

Excellent thanks for the name Alfred, will please my other half after nattering me to find out :) . Steve

Hi guys Trying out my Sigma 105 macro in the garden on this particular flower (not sure what flower it is if anyone does please?) using the focus stack tool in AP beta 1.6.0.75 and although it seems to do a good job I get these out of focus shifted background images which spoil the shot and wondered if its possible to cure that at all?. Total of 8 NEF`s taken. thanks Steve

Hi guys Just tried 1.6.0.75 22mb NEF raw loading in 6-7 seconds now was 12+ seconds so good improvement on load speed. 13mb jpg in 2secs. thanks Steve

Doh! Can't try it until I get back home Sunday

Excellent Mark,fingers crossed

Hi folks I was trying out my new Sigma 105 macro on a few flowers in my garden using focus stacking and looked around for some means of processing them and I did some what reluctantly fire up AP to see if it had the means to do it. I say reluctantly because of the terribly slow raw load speeds I get but have to say AP did an excellent stacking job and my faith is restored in AP. But c'mon Affinity peeps let's have that promised raw loading speed update soon please!!

Hi folks Have to say I'm glad that some appear to be enjoying using Affinity Photo and I'm pleased that others are also enjoying using the latest AP for Ipad but sadly I'm still waiting for the promised raw loading speed update before I can properly use AP for windows. I eagerly await and load each beta update as they come out expecting an increase but still get a minimum 12 secs to load a NEF raw on my i7 desktop which for an impatient person like me is just impractical. Since I purchased AP back in December after eagerly waiting for its release I can honestly say I have not processed a single image with it and while I applaud the AP guys for producing a new version for the IPad I couldn't help thinking that they might have got the Windows version working properly first!. Maybe that update is just around the corner but I'm now waiting to see how Luminar for Windows pans out. I'm just a hobbyist so its not the end of the world but I would like to get out of AP what others seem to get, apologies for the rant. Steve

My XP-pen star05 works fine just the painful raw loading times still there

I do hope the new beta addresses the raw loading speeds. Been patiently waiting to use AP 'properly' since buying it in December. Steve

Harry you could try the trial version of AD here https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/signup/trial/designer/ Steve
