We don't need freakin machines to think for us. We need a stable and capable app. Pixelmator on iPad is not even in the same league with AP, regardless of its popularity.
Having 90% of the revenue stream coming from upgrades is frustrating. It turned Adobe into a landlord. Especially when it's hard to imagine what else can be upgraded. Adding some bogus features will not help. What else do you want automated? Automatic characters removal? Like former spouses or girlfriends. Turning sunsets into sun dawns? making color "nicer' automatically?

Just the ability to customize the UI toolbox would be sufficient. Say, adding a customized persona and removing all others. For example, I don't need 50% of the things in AP today, but not having Dodge and Burn as two different icons TOGETHER drive me insane, since I use them intermittently. Same with having to go to a different persona to delete the selected area. A simple ALT button in the bottom left corner together with the pencil click, bringing options would be easier to implement, I guess.

Correct me if I'm wrong. To remove the background (and this is THE most common task of any work) one has to go to the selection persona, do the selection magic with refinement, etc., two-finger tap to invert the selection, switch to developers persona, two-finger tap and delete the selected area. How intuitive is this? I can't fathom what UX considerations were used to create such flow. I can understand that so many selection tools drove them into a separate persona, but why does one have to go back to dev. to delete (cut, copy, paste) what's selected?
-
This is absolutely essential because in the day-to-day work everybody uses 30-40% of the features only. Some features one may never use at all. Then it becomes the clutter. Here is an example: I use dodge and burn brushes all the time intermittently. Now, why do I have to have one icon slot for both of them? To save room for other icons, I rarely use? LIke cropping for example. How many time do you crop your artwork? Once, twice? This is UX 101.

+ 1. There are so many things I could go without, so if I could only "uncheck" them.

I think it was asked for in the AP desktop forum, but this would be a very welcome feature on iPad. This is especially important to anybody working on motion and animation.
-
Some operations take very long time to calculate (zoom blur, for example, takes forever on iPad. I ended up restarting AP and losing unsaved changes along the way). Should be a way to abort (cancel) the action. A progress bar would help too.
-
Many filters and brushes have dials (opacity, strength, flow, scale, etc.) While with brushes it's not that critical, with a filter it's very important to be able to return to 100% with just one click rather than going around it with the pencil. Maybe a dot in the middle or tap on the percentage.

I don't get it. You CAN rotate the canvas with two fingers now. It made me finally switched to AP.
-
The way it's currently implemented makes it practically impossible to pick up a color from the small area. You don't see the color of the pixel that's under your finger, you just move your finger in hope to hit it. The circle and crosshair should be above the finger and picked up color should be the one you see in the crosshair. See ArtStudio for iPad for example.

There is no such thing as "mobile professional workflow", simply because mobile devices were never considered to be more than toys. $0.99 apps running on bastardized OS, powered by the inferior hardware. It's changing now, but the damage is done. Will Apple be able to acknowledge the emerging professional market, that combinations of things like iPad pro and AP could create? I doubt they would forsake their whole MacBook Pro/OSX business. Will they create something like OSX Light, running on the most powerful versions of the future iPad? Will there be a breakthrough in battery technology? When there is a demand, there will be supply, but the world of touch UI is so different, that all apps have to be re-designed.

Yes, some kind of icon on the Layers palette would be great.
Only a minority of graphics people keep a keyboard connected to their iPad – otherwise most of us would just use a laptop.
Keyboard connected to iPad is an oxymoron. It simply creates an inferior laptop. Get a laptop with the detachable touch screen. The reason it's sold is just the gadget madness.

This is called "solo". It's used in all sound editing apps. Perhaps because they use far more tracks, or editing solo is more important.
-
Not sure about straight lines (you have vector ones, which you can later rasterize or not), but a lazy brush would be cool for all of us getting tremor from too much computer use.

Why not ask infinite painter to export files that Affinity can use?
For the same reason, you don't want your tooth brush and toothpaste to be in the separate rooms.

Hi Nighternet,
When placing the image tap the screen once instead of dragging a marquee.Ahhh, that tap again. Where does this tap extravaganza come from? From the tiny phone screen, where is no room for more buttons? On iPad Pro there is enough room for twice as many buttons, especially when it's so easy to hide all of them if necessary. Would it be more natural to just place it at 100% then, using AP magnificent on-screen resize/rotate tool to let the user do whatever he wants to do?
-
+1. And, please, don't do it with a triple two-finger tap.
-
+1. Limited access to Photo library is, in my opinion, the weirdest thing to date in AF.

When you expert prese share in bottom left corner. Choose save image then leave the export section. Your photo is into camera roll
I know, but this is counterintuitive. Why not simply "save". Photo library should be the first choice in all of the interaction with external images, including place, save, load, mix, displace, etc.
-
It'd be great to have the approx. target file size shown when resizing. Or/and some kind of warning if it exceeds the max. or slow down the app.
-
The whole integration of iOS photo library is remarkably weak. This is the main storage and should be the FIRST choice for any external image functions, not just placing an image. "Apply image", "Displace", etc. – all open cloud dialog without any chance to go to the Photo library. Why?
Also "place" should have a 100% option. 99 times out of 100 I want to just bring in a picture from the library without having to size it first. I can always resize it later if I want.

Anybody figured out how to use it with AP?
Outstanding job, Apple!
