Affinity iPad Student

@DM1 Oh snap! All this time, I didn’t know that I feel I should have known that. Thank you.

I do not know what that is. I’m familiar with pen tool, just not aware of where, is the stabilizer? And what will it do? Add curves?

Must we use the pen tool to draw arrows to our specifications? I use the arrow head, it’s perfect, but curving the body - how? Perfect example, see the arrows in the attached images. I want to be able to do the same with the body of the arrow, I would like to curve it after a certain length. Thanks.

How do we do this on ipad? (I cannot find spare channel) I was trying to do it with both - pen tool, and selection tool free hand, smart selection tool. I cannot make outline multiple selections. Any help appreciated.

@DM1 Thanks, I was still confused even after your breakdown. Messed around a bit, then figured it out, with your input. I went ahead put together a 3 step follow along in case future AP’s come along asking the same question. Hope this helps those whom are as slow as me.

[SOLVED] SCROLL DOWN TO MY 3 STEP POST. STEP BY STEP IF YOU ARE CONFUSED. I created the category. unfortunately, the png assets I am dragging over from my icloud drive, will only drop into the canvas, but not inside the assets category I created inside the asset studio. What am I doing wrong? I checked tutorial guide, nothing in there for this. Thank you.

You are the man! Thanks Alfred

@Alfred Dang it. I typed affinity photo in the search and that’s what came up. sucks. I’ll have to find some png dot lines now. Thanks

I read and tried to follow @Alfred suggestion, in the following thread from awhile ago. I must be going blind. I do not see a “stroke studio” in the studios area. My brushes do not have a “dotted line brush” was this removed? several updates since then. I know alfred is correct, I just cannot find for some reason.

I’m all for this. As amazing as Serif is when it comes to releasing features that makes workflows more simpler , I’m surprised they haven’t added this yet. (Maybe not priority) sitting somewhere at #6089 in Serif priority list. I asked for this same feature, about about a year ago.

@DM1 You are AMAZING!! Not only did you bless all of us with the LUTS, you even provide videos for the proper steps, to avoid confusion from text on screen words. This community should be proud to have you. I HIGHLY appreciate you, taking the extra time and effort to produce those videos. I hope I can return the favor in kind one day. Thank you.

UPDATE: @DM1 Found it, adjustments, click on LUT. I am HIGHLY appreciative for you looking out @DM1 I wish there was a way to store them all, so I can just scroll through each one, to see the effects. Unfortunately, Affinity at the moment, offers an inconvenient, non intuitive way to go about it, (unless I’m wrong - which I pray that I am) At the moment, I have to go to the cloud, for each one. So if I’m just checking through all of them. Here’s the process: 1) Click adjustments, 2) click LUT, 3) click import button, 4) go into cloud folder, 5) go into cloud sub folder, 6) scroll through folder list of LUT names. 7) Choose it, to import. Now on let’s do this another 60 - 80 times? (Makes no sense) Is there a better way I’m not aware of? I rather have them all loaded inside Affinity Photo, preferably the same way AP does with fonts. Load them all in, when you scroll through them, you actually see thier topology style, giving you “at a glance” educated decision, as to, if that’s the font style you want, without you having to click on it, just to see the effect. That’s a HUGE time saver, and workflow boost. Hopefully same with the LUTs.

Thank you!!!!!!! going from all the reviews in your thread, it must be AMAZING! Heres the thing, I have no idea how to import them into my affinity photo app. I already unzipped the files (with iZip app) so they are all comfortably in my cloud. Once I enter affinity photo, I have slightest idea where LUTs section is. Tried holding down question mark, doesn’t say. Can you provide a photo showing where I can find it? Thanks. Hungry to try these out.. so many in here!! I want to swim through them.

I honestly don’t even know what kinds - because I’m just learning about filters on this level. For now, the kind that makes colors pop, cinematic, vintage, 80’s, 90’s, noir, diesel punk, Art Deco, Batman 1990’s the animated series dark deco - if such a thing exists.. these would be a good start, truthfully though, as long as they look good for my projects, I’m with it. I’d just like to have a huge amount to get lost in, a huge amount of good ones of course.

FILTERS: Had to download a separate app to apply filter onto image I am currently working on, in Affinity. I would had gladly put the money into Serif pocket, but I have no idea if they sell filters or community here has a “here download these cool filters” section. So I downloaded an app and dropped $60 for it’s filter pack, working on a project, do not have time for searching. With that out of the way.. Does affinity photo not have a way to download different filter styles? (Besides the one’s they have) Or a online store I can pay to download a pack - like some of these app do? (If I were them I would had added one within the app - *cha ching* I cannot create a filter to save my life, nor do I have the desire to invest the time required to learn how. Saying this bit, for those that are quick to drop the - create one, it’s easy post - how about you go create it for me Welps, that being said, Will gladly download from wherever and willing to buy some but HOW do I get them onto Affinity Photo?
