[iPhone version?]

I tried Ventornator, Amadine, Vector Q, even Illustrator Draw, but… nah. On a phone? Why even bother?
Alright, I have a 2016 iPhone SE, and no plans to upgrade. That's a helluva small screen. (But also a small phone, fitting nicely in any of my pockets, hehe.)

Even on our family iPad 8th gen, while the Affinity suite works fine, the screen estate is still rather… small. But there's the Apple Pencil which makes Affinity on iPad worth it.
The Pencil doesn't work with iPhone.

For sure you won't do a complete artwork with the iPhone but I am sure there are plenty of situations you would love to have a possibility to make some short corrections etc. Even on  small screen you can do a lot

 

I did sometime corrections with Teamviewer remote from iPhone to computer., worked fine!

I would also really appreciate an iPhone Version - like Vectonator or Logoist which work as well on iPhone. Sure it makes no sense to have all features but a compatible and reduced version for some quick workflows would be awesome!

 

[Issues with duplicate of unsaved file (publisher)]

Hi!

i worked on a file with some pictures in it. As I wanted to use this file again with some different pictures I had the following workflow:

Duplicating the (unsaved) file in publishers main overview window.

Open the duplicate and head over to the resources, than changing the linked picture files to new ones.

In my opionion the result should be: two collage files with same look but different picture content. But: when reopening the first „mother“ file again, all pictured where also linked to the duplicated file!

my mistake or a bug into affinity?

[Affinity Photo 2: Auswahl spiegeln - Skalieren - Pipette]

No. You could use the node tool, and drag a node at the left side to effectively mirror the selected area visually, but not accurately. So use this only if you want to change the dimensions anyway, and don’t need accurate pixel perfect mirror.

Using the method with copy(or cut) and paste is the intended way by Affinity.

you cannot use the geometry / flip horizontally function on selected content, only on layers.

Thx for letting us know about :=)

Ok! Than it is by design. 

In my opinion Serif should consider to change this behavior to make it more usable especially for former Photoshop users.

 

[Affinity Photo 2: Auswahl spiegeln - Skalieren - Pipette]

Hi!

Some similar question.
When I select with the smart select an object and do not copy and paste it - there is no additional layer for this object and so there seems to be no chance for mirror it. I can rotate and resize with the "transform" panel, but how to vertically flip (mirror) it?

 

In my case - the giraffe should look into the other direction. My workaround was working with copy and paste to generate a new layer, but is there really no chance in just mirror the selection?

[Measurements Tool for iPad]

Why 2.1 version of iPad has no measurement tool in publisher nor photo? Only designer has (since 2.04)?

i am missing it 😩

[Sidebar on iPad 11“ and smaller needs to be scrolled]

Hey @Dan C,

thanks! I understood the problem with the wrist.

Maybe as an Idea - make the "?" button optional as most more expirienced users are not in need for this button.

Cheers and happy coding / developing!

[Sidebar on iPad 11“ and smaller needs to be scrolled]

The sidebar on the right is too "full" on the 11" iPads. Compared to v1 you have to scroll in v2 if you have activated the repeat or undo buttons. 
Unfortunately you can't see that there are hidden buttons. Can't this be solved better? There should be plenty enough space below the „?“ the use for.

[Where to find the Measurement Tool?]

Thanks Walt! I have overseen it!

[Where to find the Measurement Tool?]

As it should be now in Publisher / Photo - but where can we find it? Haven't found it in the menue bars.....

[Exporting to PDF causes crash]

I tried to export the vector without the FX which worked fine, also exporting with FX to other formats like „svg“ what also worked.

But with FX slight blur crashes as well when selecting export to PDF (also, svg works fine). 
I tried also to reproduce with Affinity Designer v1 and resolved the same issues.

interestingly a lot of rasterized layer and Affinity Photo works well. 
 

cheers

Thanks for checking and explaining!

 Always a great help within the forum and I have learned a lot;)

always appreciate! 

[Exporting to PDF causes crash]

Hey there,

when exporting the attached file into a PDF, Affinity Designer for iPad crashes and closes down after a while.

The logo has got the "overwrite color" FX feature and an export with the windows desktop version works fine.

I have a very old iPad 9,7" Pro but running the most recent iPad OS and there is enough space left on the device.

Here are the files, sorry I forgot to upload. This is designer File and the result when exported by designer instead of publisher

[PDF export has pixel artifacts with vector files.]

Thank you very much!

i wasn‘t aware of that issue!

But: why can I export „my“ Designer File (with the FX) from Designer to PDF without getting a rasterized result?

looks

like this takes only place when exporting to PDF from Publisher when embedding such file. 
 

So it kind of both, my fault and a publishers bug?

[PDF export has pixel artifacts with vector files.]

The following issue, I'm not sure if it's MY mistake or a bug in Affinity Publisher:

I have a logo consisting of an SVG vector file. I modified it as a vector in Affinity Designer. Now I embed this file in an Affinity Publisher document. (For testing purposes, I also created a link instead of embedding it) - when I look at the document in Publisher, I don't see any staircases or artifacts. In addition, I put a font under the logo. If I now export the whole thing with the PRINT-READY Pdf Preset, I get a PDF in which the font under the logo is razor sharp, but the logo itself looks very pixelated - like a bitmap! A mistake in the publisher? Or user error?

Here are the files so you can take a look, along with the resulting PDFs.test_vector_pixel_verknuepft.afpub

[Blend mode disappears]

Hey!

thanks for getting back!

while I was trying to record the issue I found out that DM1 was correct and has shown the „workaround“. It is a common problem in usage / workflow of affinity photo for iPad. 
 

thanks and have a nice weekend!

[Blend mode disappears]

If I give a layer a different blend mode on the iPad, go out of layers, then deactivate the layer and again reactivate it = the blendmode is not preserved and has to be re-entered.

 

[Color Problem when opening Publisher v1 File in v2]

7 hours ago, rvst said:

Seems very buggy. Changing the fill colour to white in the Guides dialog box seems to do nothing. It still looks like it has the same grey overlay.

@nucleardirk changing from filled to outline style (View-->Guides) removes the grey and restores the original look of the image placed in the picture frame as does switching off "Show Column Guides" in the View menu. Not sure whether that will work for you.

Thanks!
Thats indeed the problem - the workaround solved it.

Interstingly I never used those "fill colour" for the Guides....

Sure, here you go, hope you are able to reproduce my issue!

[No .exe, no interest]

To be honest, grab the discount now and be patient, its worth the wait and I believe Serif is gonna try to fix the issue asap. 
As Affinity v1 was supported +/- 8 years now, I am sure you wont regret and will have a longlasting grafic suite with a couple of years of updates and new functions. 
 

@Patrick Connoryou should work somehow on your announcing and communication to avoid mistakes or not offering what the users want in the future. What about periodically request some „user requests and feedbacks“ with multiple choice questions?

[Between Black and white (I am a bit disappointed)]

Thanks for replying!

I wasnt aware that copy and paste is a workaround - good to know

[Between Black and white (I am a bit disappointed)]

More and more the most disappointing point is what I mentioned before. 
no compatibility between v2 and v1 files and no warning if you open a file with v2, no chance of downgrading the file later, you need to export to PSD and import PSD back which works somehow.
