Time ago I’ve tried to apply to the beta program but I never was contacted by Serif to get the code to access to the beta version through the TestFlight app. I would more than happy (and totally in my interest) to test the beta version, if only it would be possible.

Is there any E.T.A about the new Affinity Photo iPad update that will fix the problems of the 1.7.1 build? Is it possible to get it before the iPad OS release? Or is it plnned for that time?

I can post a couple of videos: I use the same file (PSD format, 4800x4800 px, CMYK, 58 layers) on two iPads, one with Affinity Photo 1.7.1, the other with Affinity Photo 1.6.12.86. For this recordings I've turned on the "show touch" option in order to make clear when I touch the screen with fingers and the pen and when the strokes are shown on the screen. The file is 8bit. I've tried to convert it to 16bit as suggested by p_mac, but nothing changed, maybe even slower.... Let's start with iPad Pro 10,5" 256gb, ram 4gb, Apple Pencil (1st generation), Affinity Photo build 1.6.12.86. We can notice that there are some little delays on the resolution refresh when I pan and zoom, but nothing so really bad. After some initial jamming with the pen, the strokes follow quite smoothly the pen tip on the screen. IMG_3070.TRIM.mov Let’s pass now on iPad Pro 2018 12,9” 1TB, ram6gb, Apple Pencil (2nd generation), Affinity Photo build 1.7.1. Here the resolution refresh panning and zooming is slower, but what is really bad is the stroke delay, making the app unusable to work on this file. IMG_3298.TRIM.mov I really hope these recordings could help to let the 1.7.1 build to back to work as well (or even better, if possible) as the 1.6.12.86.

Me too I made a couple of recordings but I can't upload the in my post. Or better: I can drag and drop but the upload is queued and nothing more happens.... Probably are they too heavy (they're both about 20 mb)? How can I shrink them in order to upload them quickly?

You can turn on the "show touches" (or so.. I'm Italian and I'm not sure how it's translated in the English version) option directly in the Affinity Photo preferences, General.

A few days ago I've updated Affinity Photo for iPad to the 1.7.1 crossing fingers that the slowing resolution refresh and stroke delays would be fixed but... unfortunately they're still there! :-(((( I can't figure out how an app that worked almost perfectly in the 1.6 version, it's now so corrupted to become almost unusable with some files that worked perfectly with 1.6. Please, if it's impossible to fix these issues, is there any way to back to the 1.6 version? It has the erase bug (that works also with finger touch even if settled only for pen), but at least I can use Affinity Photo to work again.

Today I've updated Affinity Photo for iPad to the 1.7.1 crossing fingers that the slowing resolution refresh and stroke delays would be fixed but... unfortunately they're still there! :-(((( I can't figure out how an app that worked almost perfectly in the 1.6 version, it's now so corrupted to become unusable.

We're all complaining about this on this topic:

Are there any news from developers on when will be available a fix to this problem? We professionals are swamped....

I quote. At the beginning I thought it was a problem of the big file, but I've tried a blank new one and the problem is still there.

I really hope that the developers will fix this issue as soon as possible. I'm having troubles with work for this. :-( If at least should be possible to restore the previous app version....

No one have idea on how to fix this problem? I've noted also that there is a huge lag with strokes with Apple Pencil 2. In the previous version everything worked beautifully.....

Unfortunately I've already tried this way, but without success.... On my iPad is running iOS 12.3.1 and I'm working with Apple Pencil 2. I can't figure out a setting more updated than this...

Hi to all! Finally I've just downloaded the 1.7 version and it looks fantastic, moreover with some very annoying bugs finally fixed! But there's another problem: I'm working on an artwork in psd file format that with the previous Affinity Photo was loaded quickly and every pan and zoom on it was quick and smooth. Now with 1.7 the same file opens correctly bu when I pan and zoom it's very slower to load at the right resolution (just after the move operation the image became very pixelated and after a few seconds it is restored at the proper resolution. It seems almost that the iPad RAM is full or slower... I've tried also to export the same file in Affinity Photo format, but the behavior is exactly the same... Should have I to uninstall the app and to reinstall? Should I lost all my imported brushes and fonts in this way? Or could I back to the previous app version in some way? I'm using an iPad Pro 12,9" 2018 1TB. How is this possible? How can I fix this? I can't work in this condition... Thanks to everyone that will can help me!
