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

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

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 Jan I have the XP-Star05 and very happy with it. Important to follow the driver install instructions to the letter ie remove ANY graphic tablet drivers and disable antivirus before installing new drivers. Steve

Hi guys I`ve been looking for some time for a graphics tablet and had decided to get the Intuos pro medium but can`t seem to get hold of one in the UK, SO plan B I started looking on youtube for recommendations and came across the XP-Pen Star05 which I gather has not been out long, it has wireless, has an 8"x5" active area and so I thought I`d order one and if it didn`t work with any of my gear then the excellent Amazon returns would be used. Ordered yesterday and arrived today and have to say I`m delighted with it. Following the advice given I made sure yesterday any tablet drivers were uninstalled, my virus checker disabled and downloaded and installed the latest driver from the XP-Pen web site and waited for it to arrive. Plugged it in, instantly recognised and up and running in about 10 seconds and works perfectly with AP. It actually seems fine with all the software I have, I don`t think it has a tilt feature which I`m not bothered about but all in all I think not getting an Intuos has worked out ok for me as I now have an excellent graphics tablet for a quarter of the price of the Intuos and it works like a dream no lag at all. cheers Steve

Thanks again AJ, I've emailed them and see what they say!. Regards Steve

Hi AJ I`m across the pond here in the UK and the Intuos tablets seem a bit thin on the ground over here at the moment :( . Might make it a bit pricey shipping from the States?. Steve

Hi guys After asking for advice about a suitable graphics tablet for use with AP I had decided on a Intuos pro medium but can`t seem to get hold of one anywhere, they must be that good that everywhere seems to have sold out so plan B - which others tablet could be recommended please?. Wireless would be nice, medium size and the useable area less than the total area would also be good (if that makes sense?) as one I`ve borrowed (Intuos 3) the pen keeps getting stuck in a groove on the right hand side of the tablet surface when using the software sliders. thanks Steve

Hi folks Well borrowed a friends old Intuos 3 medium graphic tablet today and have to say I`m loving it. Its a lot easier to control than I thought it would be and it works fine with AP, its just getting your head around how the tablet maps to the screen so the Intuos pro medium is now on the New years must have list :) . cheers Steve

Thanks for that Mike. You find the small Intuos ok? I was told the tablet should be roughly the size of the screen and my monitor is 24"! Regards Steve

Thanks for the info guys and to SrPx for the in depth report. I have heard that the Huions can have bother with the drivers not sure if that is still the case?. Good luck with a Yiynova, can't quite justify one of those yet or if I could sneak one past SWMBO . Happy Christmas to all on the forum!.

Win 10 64bit :) . cheers Steve

Yes that would be great thanks, was thinking of waiting until after Christmas to get one

If it works ok that's fine, I do have a few wireless bits & bobs mouse, keyboard,router,printer even my Nikon using its wi-fi transfer so quite a bit going on.How come you keep it wired if the wireless works ok?. Steve

Hi guys Been doing a lot of researching on tablets for use with my photography and I think I'm going for the Intuos pro medium. I see it comes with wireless connectivity and I'm wondering how effective it is as it's a feature you obviously pay for and if it's not that reliable then maybe the cheaper Intuos Pen & Touch models more useful?.I'd like to make full use of it's features with Affinity. Thanks Steve

Wondering how the 610 is doing with Affinity?. Thinking of a wacom intuos medium but I could be swayed
