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!

Hi to all!
I'm wondering if hidden somewhere there is a menu where to turn on and set up the touch button of the Apple Pencil 2.
If not, is there any chance to add this feature in future releases?
-
Ok Gabriel, I really appreciate your thoughts.
If anyone here in the forum have the 1tb model with 6gb of Ram and is willing to test Affinity Photo, please, let me know and I’ll can share the test file you.
Thanks again!
-
Thank you very much for the test! So the new processor seems to doesn't affect significantly the app performance....
In a theoretical line, could any increase of RAM improve the app performance in handlig such file size (I'm not so hardware expert to know such thing....)?
Or is it a limit due to the whole mobile device?
-
Upload finished (finally)!
-
Thank you very much for your help! At least I can see if the new processor can affect performances in some way.
Unfortunately I can't upload the file I've mentioned due to undisclosure agrrements with my client, but I've tried to replicate moe or less the same situation with another one: same canvas size, same dpi, roughly same number of layers. The file size although is lesser (460 mb instead of 1,5 GB, due to more simple images, I've drafted chaotic lines for quickness), but trying to open it on my iPad Pro 10,5" takes about 5 minutes and once opened the situation is the same: the app is unable to rendering the proper resolution, keeping a lot lower, and I can't hide or affect any layer.
I'm uploading the file right now, although I suppose it will be a long process.
Let me know and thanks again!

Thanks GabrielM for the kind reply.
I wouldn’t sound boring, but I really need a reply on this topic in order to make the proper decision for my near purchase.
I’ll try to explain more in detail my situation, hoping to help someone to reply to this topic.
Currently I’m working on a MacBook Pro Retina with Photoshop, to make huge artwork files with a lot of layers.
In mobility I’m working on a iPad Pro 10,5” (256 GB SSD, 4GB of RAM) with Affinity Photo, which is the only app that better meets my needs.
In the specific case, I have a PSD huge file size (1,5 GB file size, 7000x4200px, 400 dpi, CMYK) with really a lot of layers (about 160, between drawings, filters and adjustment layers) that understandably Affinity Photo on iPad take about 5 minutes to open and when it does the image shows all the layers, but at very low resolution (the pixels shown are very big, as if it isn’t able to render properly the image at right resolution). Moreover I can’t do anything at the image (use brushes or other tools, not to hide and shows layers), because I suppose, the file is too huge to be managed by the app.
Now I’m wondering if the new iPad Pro 2018 12,6” (with 1TB SSD, 6GB of RAM and a more powerful processor) could improve the experience on Affinity Photo with such huge file, making possible to work on it properly, or if the extra RAM and powerful processor will not affect in any way its performances.
I hope someone will help me to understand.
Thanks for the attention.

I love it because is the only one app that allow me to import huge PSD files in CMYK mode and let me shift between Affinity Photo on iPad Pro to Photoshop on Macbook Pro without any problem.
More or less.... because a huge file like a 7000x4200 px at 400 dpi in CMYK mode (

Anyone do have idea if to shift from iPad Pro 10,5" to the new iPad Pro 2018 with 1tb and 6gb Ram could improve the Affinity Photo performances and its ability to manage psd file of about 1,5 gb of size?
-
I read that the last model of iPad Pro 2018 has a different amount of Ram depending on the storage size: the 1TB HD model has 6 GB of Ram.
Currently I'm using Affinity Photo on an iPad Pro 2017 (with 4GB of Ram) and it really suffers with huge PSD files with a lot of layers.
I'm wondering if the same huge files could be managed more efficiently by Affinity Photo on the new iPad Pro 2018 with 6GB of Ram, or if this means nothing on the app performance.
Thanks for the attention.

I suppose that if I uninstall the app I will lose also every brush and font imported and any setting, right?
I would like to avoid to lose all the settings (the files are all saved in my macbook), but if it could give some results, I’ll try it.
However should be a problem if every tot works I should have to unistall the app and redo every setting.....

hi to all.
I’m using an iPad Pro 10,5” with iOS 12 (not beta), yesterday updated to 12.1.
I’ve purchased this wonderful app since about a month and I’m using it intensively all the day for work making artworks for print (CMYK, file size about 4000x4000 px @400dpi with a good number of layers, file size about 108 mb). Everything worked fine and smoothly until yesterday, when the app starting lagging with a work responding to the specifics noted above.
It seems that the app doesn’t have enouh ram (but it’s only a my guess) because when I zoom in and out the image takes about a second or two to show it properly scaled. Also when I select a different brush menu it takes a few seconds to load and display it. Every time I zoom or pan the image I have to wait a few seconds to make a stroke.
All this is starting to happen just yesterday, after an entire month where I worked wonderfully and without any lag with other files roughly of the same size.
What could have been happened? And most important: how could I fix this issue? is there any “cache” to clean anywhere or something else?
Thanks for the attention.

I really hope this. Let me know where I can put some pressure.

hello to all. I've just purchased this wonderful app for my iPad Pro 10,5" (iOS 12) and I've sadly discovered that it doesn't support the split screen... is it true, or is there something to do for activate it?
If not, do it will support also the split view in future updates?it should be very important, at least for me.
-
Thank you DM1 for your reply. Given your experience I'll give a try to this app for sure! also because as far as I know is the only one on iPad that can manage the CMYK color mode (I work for printed stuff)….
About to save often the work is a good habit for sure, although some apps (like Procreate) saves automatically when accidentally crashes. Or at least, when this happen and then I open it to back to work I find my file exactly as I left when the app crashes. I have no idea how this works, but should be helpful to implement such feature also in Affinity Photo.
-
Oh, well, 7999 layers... I think it should be enough for my need.
Wonderful news, thank you!
And what about the app reliability (crashes and other issues) at the current step?

Hello to all!
I've got an iPad Pro 10,5" (iOS 12) with the Apple Pencil and I'm going to interest deeply in this app, that seems to be a very complete app that works as Photoshop on my PC (and to use in pair with it switching between the two software with the same PSD file).
Unfortunately in the App Store there are a lot of negative comments reporting crashes, works not saved and other issues. However I read that those comments was posted a few time ago, so (before to purchase it) I'm wondering how is the current situation with this software after have been updated. Is it reliable for professional illustration work? Or do it risk to make me to waste working time?
Another very important question is: how many layers Affinity Photo can mange in a file? Some apps like Procreate have limits on the number of layers based on the canvas size, while other apps (like Medi Bang) seems to be much much more generous, allowing to import PSD files with a lot of layers correctly. How is the situation with Affinity Photo?
Thanks for the kind attention!

Ah, ok. It sounded too much strange.
-
Pressure sensitive with fingers?
-
I should be interested to try the iOS version of Affinity Photo on my iPAd Air 2.
So, given that I can't use the Apple Pencil, I'm wondering if the app supports other pressure sensitive styluses like mine (Adonit Jot Touch 4) and its pressure sensitive and palm rejection features.
Thanks for attention.

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...
