  1. Great knowledge here. Posting, so I can dig up my content in the profile options, in the future, and grab this intel in case I forget.
  2. Agreed. This would be great to know, needs to be added into tutorials. I was never aware of this, thought that was the nature of things as a newbie.
  3. I really don’t know? I do not own any adobe apps. I do own Pro Create. (Potential iOS 11 beta bug)? Not being able to import brushes. My last post here (bottom page) shows my process, in images, how I went about importing the brushes: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/43215-smoke-brush-where/
  4. I see, yea needed something darker, easier on the eyes and for when certain montages created, the background blends. It’s all good, I’ll use photos from online as background layer. Thanks Callum.
  5. How is this done? Would like a solid color. I’m just gonna layer a solid color background image for now. Just wanted to know how is this done. Thanks.
  6. And lots more tutorials!!! (Important for noobs like me) Very good gents. I’m loving this. Now if only **I could import my .abr smoke brush files** with no problems, I’ll be in heaven. Excellent work here Serif, I’m proud to be a part of this community with a progressive moving development team.
  7. Thank you Patrick, Good to see they are aware and already appropriating strategies for it.
  8. Weird, none of the other projects are acting up. I wonder if the heavy load of so many layers have triggered this issue. The other two projects, 3 layers at most. This corrupt project, around 10-12 layers. I am running retail Affinity. $20 purchase. Forget beta, I support quality developers, especially with things that help me save time. But if beta helps smooth things out I’ll gladly download it. Picture proof below
  9. What do you mean full version? Is there a free version of this app? Also, that beta link, I’m surprised it’s not stickied in the front page, here in the iPad forums. Respectfully, in my opionion, I feel that’s something that should be front paged with its own emanated awareness.
  10. So, no speedier movement for the move forward/move backward tool. Damn, that actually really sucks. Took me 35 minutes to make words ooze off a page. Welps! There goes workflow speed on that one. Amazing app, but that part sucks.
  11. I tried it, but nothing is happening. Do they get their own name? ie “smoke brushes”? Otherwise, I’m not seeing anything. Images below: 1) choosing .abr 2) nothing seems to be happening after selected. No prompt or message. 3) No new brushes all the same.
  12. Unfortunately, it crashes when I try to save a copy. As soon as I tap on the iCloud option, screen blacks out. No other way I suppose? (Images below) 1) saving only choose iCloud option available (notice *add* on the upper right is blocked out) it’s what I used the last time to send you the google drive link) now all of a sudden greyed out. 2) I choose iCloud, totally blacks out 3) it’s not crashed, just blacked out. Notice it’s still an active app.
  13. This really excites me. I’ll definitely look through this later. Thank you Obtusity - if you’re in America (Happy 4th of July)
  14. Wow, in front of my face the whole time. I was so stuck on following the video, searching where he was mingling, I overlooked the fact the ui is different here for iOS. Thank you
  15. UPDATE: (10.5 iPad) I think this project has somehow become corrupted. Very sad. I’ve been working on this project since Saturday. Couple things lead me to this thought of it being corrupted. I created a test project for troubleshooting purposes, the following actions, it was able to execute without a problem. 1) I can copy/paste onto the pasteboard just fine. 2) I can backout just fine from my test project. Now, whenever I commit any of the actions presented above with my corrupted project. Crazy shit starts to happen. If I back out of the project it crashes the app. If copy/paste to pasteboard - nothing happens. I’m thinking maybe too many layers made it corrupt? (Is there a limit of layers allowed?) Anyways, this literally hurts my soul. So many hours of research, watching tutorials, scouring through forums to gather the appropriate knowledge to complete this project, make it look awesome (for a noob like myself) and get it done for an upcoming event, which this is project is needed for, by no later than Thursday for marketing the event on a site. ORIGINAL POST: Been working with Affinity all day, all the questions I’ve been storming on here since this morning were all pertaining to me and the project I’m currently working on. App lasted over a little past 24hours of consistent working with it, then starts the crashing phase. Lol. The Scenario: I went to hit the back button after I tried to rasterize a smoke image I opened up. Was trying to save my work, and it just crashes. Lost some work. I shut down the app (X Button on home screen) reboot my iPad, and still crashes. Did this twice. I deleted some layers from the project, still crashes. Is there a way to save without backing out? Can I upload my work to iCloud and pull it back in from the cloud? (At this point, I have to uninstall the app and reinstall) wouldn’t want want to do so, unless I receive confirmation I can pull everything in from the cloud. Thanks Mods.
  16. Watching this video: At the 8:51 he pulls out a smoke brush, creating that dope ass effect. I noticed his brushes has numbers, ours does not. I also acknowledged, his brushes are organized in names, referencing the actual effect the brush is creating. Example, he went into the “smoke” category, for a good variety of smoke brushes. That organization and “at a glance” guidance, helps speed up workflow on a major level. Not wasting time, hounding down a particular brush, because it’s not organized by name, is a huge game changer. On iPad all we have is: Texture, Effects and other names, that I have no clue what they do. Would be better, if our brushes were listed like in the video I linked above. SMOKE BRUSH: If this smoke brush is not available on iPad, I presume, you guys will release it as purchasable content? I’m ok with that (company needs revenue to expand) just as long as it performs exactly like the video above or better. If we do have the SAME exact smoke brush as above in our current version of Affinity, would somebody be so kind as to guide me to its location? I can’t find it nor... do I know how to tweak an existent brush to produce effects like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
  17. Unfortunately this is not working. It’s either not copying onto the PB or not pasting over from the PB onto the new document. I’ve attached images.
  18. UPDATE: Solved Texting is BUGGY! BUGGY! Jumping all over the place, no way to move cursor or establish type area. It’s a mess. I’m confident devs are aware. There’s no way they can’t be, as bad as it is. For newcomers, beware. Location: Artistic text tool, photo persona, all the way in the bottom.
  19. As title asks? Trying to create shadows as per this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/M_OsqSRG0S4 It’s not in filters. The one I found is in FX, it’s just a turn on dial, nothing happens when turned on. In the video, a gray backdrop came up and he was able to drag the gradient. Not getting that here. What am I doing wrong?
  20. ellipsis icon? Where is that, I have two layers selected and need to merge Found it, for new comers like myself, he means the 3 dots on the upper (left side) of your screen. NOT the 3 dots directly above your layers.
