Odds are I'm just doing it wrong. (I'm going to blame my low coffee levels). I'm on the 12" iPad Pro, so it should be just fine. I'll take another look. Thanks!

Hey DesignMeister! Thanks for the tip! I do have a question (And I freely admit that I'm only 1 cup of coffee in, so my synapses aren't quite firing at the required rate yet) After I load a LUT, give it a name and save it, the LUT icon in the adjustments browser takes on the appearance of the image, which is great! But...where did Affinity save that preset? If I now delete that adjustment layer and try to implement that same process again... I don't see the 'Preset' I just made. Ideally (and again, I'm just spitballing here) I'm looking for a rapid, visually representative way, of previewing a LUT's potential affect on my image. Something viable when your LUT options are in the 100s. Blackmagic has recently (thank goodness) implemented a version of this in Resolve 15. Theo from Miesner Media does a quick walkthrough of it below. What I like about their implementation is the LUT icons give you a 'Default' representation of the LUT's colour feel on a human skin tone, and yet you still have the ability to replace that default icon with an image from you project, or revert back to the default with a button click. Granted, I'm aware that we're talking DaVinci Resolve -VS- an iPad app, but hey, a man can dream. Capture One Pro 11's implementation is also very useful (And fast!). I use it daily:

Hey Folks! LOVE the product! I tried a forum search and didn't see anything, so forgive me if it's been requested already, but can we can get an option to preview LUTs before applying? As is, implementing a LUT (eg. from cloud storage) just gives me a file name to choose and apply. If I don't like it, I have to redo the process (And try to remember the list of obscure filenames that I've previously tried!) I have no idea what 'Portra 160' looks like, nor if it's going to fit with my image. But if I can see it, I'll know if it works or not. Maybe a similar implementation to LUT's as in Capture One? Where you hover over a LUT name and it's visually applied to the image, then you can either scroll to another option and the image updates in real time, or you can click the selection to finalise the application. Obviously, it would require remapping 'clicks' to touches, or multiple touches or whatever, but I leave that up to you wizards! Thanks!

Me again. Second Crop Tool Feature Request: 'Reset' I just noticed that if I want my original image back (Post Crop), I kinda have to manually drag out a huge crop area (way bigger that whatever I have on-screen). Implement that, then go back to the crop tool, and resize my transparent canvas to the image boundaries of the now visible previously cropped out area. A simple 'Reset Crop', or 'Revert to Original' would be handy to have. Thanks!

Fair enough I actually ended up moving the Affinity file over to my Mac Pro (via iCloud) as there was a stronger image candidate from the shoot that I decided to use. The real joy was being able to just swap out the background layer and quickly adjust a couple masks to get to a finished product instead of having to start the process all over again. (Also, where in heaven's name is the 'Solo' layer option on the Desktop version?) 10 points for Affinity Photo's cross-platform files! My one gripe would be the inability to have multiple documents open on the iPad version. That way I could move images back & forth like I tend to do on desktop platforms. My apologies if this already exists, but I don't remember it being mentioned, so I'm kinda guessing that functionality doesn't exist? (I shall now Google it, like I should have from the start) As for multiple Instagram accounts, I was toying with the idea of a test account up to yesterday. I may have to revisit that option

Hey Affinity Folks! I have a couple of questions/requests with regards to the crop tool: Is there any way to have it remember the last used settings? Also, can we get a couple of standard crop presets to choose from? (16:9/4:3/Square/etc). And maybe and option to have it not float outside the canvas area? (toggle-able preferably ) Usage scenario: I'm editing a photo for instagram (I know, I know) and I'd like my image to have a square crop. So after I choose 'Custom' under ratio, input my arbitrary identical numbers (4x4), then decide on my crop area and approve it.... I change my mind. It should be a little more to the left. So now I have to reselect the tool, reselect 'Custom', re-input the crop dimensions, try not to accidentally hit anything other than the tiny crop handles (if not I have manually redraw and reposition the crop area from scratch) then nudge the image around to my newly preferred crop area. But now it should be a little higher. So I go through these steps again. And again. It gets a tad tedious Thanks!

I am THRILLED to report that upgrading to iOS 11.3 Beta 2 has fixed this issue. Exports now work as expected

Hey Andrew! I most certainly am.

Hey MEB! I do! Safari, Mail, & Apple News. My current workaround is to use the 'Share' feature and just save to images. That seems to work every time. I tried again after closing everything else, still no joy.

I'm encountering all kinds of issues related to exporting files. Basically after the file has 'Generated for export' and I hit 'Ok', it gets stuck at a white screen. This has happened with TFF, and JPEG exports. It seems somewhat random too. Sometimes it goes to the expected 'Choose where to export screen', and sometimes it just freezes on a blank white screen (requiring a hard close and restart). The good news is that the files retain all changes, so I just try again, but it is frustrating. This is cross-posted in the last Beta, as I wasn't sure where to put it (I first encountered the behaviour there, but then noticed and installed the release candidate, but the behaviour is still present). At the moment, I'm on attempt #4 to export a JPEG from a 16bit RGB TIFF.

Hello all! Question regarding working with masks: Is there any way to display the mask area while drawing? Or to have the masked area displayed with the same type of clarity associated with the 'Refine Masks' tool (without having to actively use the refine mask tool). A good example would be the implementation of masks in Capture One Pro. You can turn the highlight mode, 'on' 'off' or 'display only when drawing' Or am I'm simply overlooking an obvious toggle somewhere?

Unfortunately it exhibits the same behaviour. The source spot will become 'unglued' and move to the pencil point (although it certainly IS a more precise way of working, so thanks!)

Thank goodness it's not just me. I'm having the same issue as well. Granted, I noticed it while using the healing brush tool. Basically, after you set your source area for a healing operation, the crosshairs icon signifying the 'set source area' peramater jumps to wherever the apple pencil is placed. So instead of performing a healing operation, you've now accidentally reset your source area to the blemish spot. And it occurs quite sporadically. Sometimes (almost never) it works as expected, sometimes (mostly) I have to set, and reset the source area 3-5 times before it 'stays put'.

Hey Bri! I actually meant Matt's suggestion with the 'Region' itself was still 'US'. I certainly didn't mean to belittle or dismiss your helpful suggestion! (Thanks!) As a whole, I guess I'm just looking for a simple (and obvious) button to change the 'In Program' spell checker to difference languages. Like in Illustrator. Or InDesign. It seems like a handy feature to have. In the immediacy I'd like 'Colour' to have a 'u' without the spell checker feeding into my 'poor spelling' insecurities. My bar is set low!
