Affinity iPad Student

Hello, I have my gestures set for touch only, I still manage to erase with my finger when using eraser tool? I don’t recall this happening before? I use eraser tool all the time. I tried turning on and off “gesture for touch only” and both instances still allow me to erase with my finger??

I too would like to confirm this is not working. I tried exporting to my affinity folder I have in my iCloud. Nothing happens. Instead I’m being asked to select a folder, leaving me with the impression, it wants to import, instead of exporting. maybe the programmers can look into that aspect of the code. ”expecting import from the cloud onto affinity, instead of exporting form affinity, into the cloud ”

THE PROBLEM: While typing on another app, even at times while I was typing up the problem here in Affinity, I noticed mistypes, delayed response to my tap of a button. That’s when it hit me, troubleshoot. Not going to detail all the trouble shooting I did, it was for naught. The real issue here was this: Even though your ipad screen looks clean, feels clean (non greasy) it may still gather some kind of invisible film. I sprayed my screen, wiped it down with micro fiber. Problem fixed. That simple. Moderator you may delete this thread if you’d like. First: Powerful update! Just powerful! Thank you. Hey, I don’t know how you manage to pay your employees, with so many free updates. I’m more than willing and will happily pay for a future super powerful update. I think you guys more than deserve it and I want you around forever so.. keep hat in mind. Doesn’t hurt to charge once in awhile to meet shareholder expectations or pay off some bills. I’m pretty sure the community agrees here. Just don't go Adobe monthly sub way. Once in awhile, it’s understandable. Anywho’s... I’ve watched the new gestures guide. Mostly still the same. Specifically for rotate image, gesture still the same - my issue is here. THE BUGs: ROTATION CONCUSSION: Rotating the image around with two fingers, while I’m zoomed in on or not - is sporadically making the image jump into wrong coordinates. Example: While rotating, the image would instantly move vertically upwards as if I took two fingers and flung it, in that direction. UNRESPONSIVE: Same example, using two fingers to rotate or pan the image, Affinity Photo totally unresponsive to touch, gestures. This reminds me of similar issue I had last year after your first update. Rotation is set to on in tools, gestures used for gestures only in tools. TROUBLESHOOT: Closed out app, Closed Background Apps, Restarted Device. Update triggered this issue, working fine before then. SPECS: iPad Pro 10.5, Latest iOS 11.4.1, 238 gigs available.

Thanks @MEB

Is the a way to trace the perspective lines, and no human error allowed? (basically, program won’t let you step out of the line you are tracing)

Purchased AP & AD (and whatever you release next, even if I don’t need it) When will you release an Animation app for iPad? Currently using rough animator, which is impressive for a guy that doesn’t code and created it because he is an animator and needed something for his mobile needs. Serif, you however are a full fledged creation powerhouse equipped for such innovations. Everything you drop comes with a ticking time bomb. Ready to blow. Animation app - when? (Stop messing around) PS. Your commercials are beyond amazing! Mad love for you serif. I truly hope you surpass Adobe.

Again, I wouldn’t know. I am new to all of these things. I am literally just finding out this function even exists. Never dealt with this part of AP before. I just started Affinity Photo (photo editing in general) around June/July of last year - 2017. Truth is, I use AP on and off, depending on my needs. (To illustrate my points/concepts) I’m starting to use it more now, and hopefully I’ll understand it more. Your question though is geared mor toward a person whom understands photo editing, terminology.. etc. One day I’ll be there. In meantime, Affinity iPad Student = Baby with AP in every sense of that term

Sorry to revive this post... but it’s back. (image below) File size in .PSD format 10.91 mb Serif, was this ever resolved?

Where is jitter size? Or jitter options?

UPDATE: Changes shown, when that “controllers” area you brought up was changed to random. Thank you. Would had never noticed controllers. I kroyvmoving the other stuff, but does not reflect in the Brush image shown up top. Controllers, definitely handled that. Should find my way now. Damn @Alfred you really are next level. I’ve learned tons from you brother. @stokerg thank you, I cam just imagine the amount of heft, as a moderator, having to check “every single” comment on all the posts, to all the threads, for all the categories in the forum. Thank you. I will look into the pressure, as it will help. Thank you sir. This is thread is ok to be closed. Thank you Alfred. This is because I don’t understand these things. I’ve just learned how to create a Brush. This stuff you guys are pointing out, is a foreign language to me. However, after you’ve brought this up, when I add values, the image of the pixel for the Brush I created, shown up top (the neat look) doesn’t move, and so, I don’t know, when I change values, if it’s becoming chaotic or not, the way I’d like it to be. Are you able to point out, where I should set the values, or where best to begin, so I can reach the closeness of my my goal? Thanks guys

@stokerg @Alfred thank you guys. Here you go. (Brush image up top, does not move as I adjust certain settings, thus I’m not sure how things will look or if I moved past what I want it to look like. With that said, pictures below so I can get clarity from you pros. Thank you.

(SOLVED) Future users - scroll down several posts for results. Neat Brush is killing my design, comes across fake looking. What I mean by neat Brush? Better explained in photo. Help please community.

@Alfred as always you are beyond helpful. This worked. I ended up creating one from scratch. Never created a brush before. I’m hoping you have the answer to this one as well. When I google it, I keep getting resizing results. i just need to need to know where can I locate the pixel dimensions of my particular layer. I feel like I should know this, but I can’t for the life of me find where. I know if I choose the move tool and select one of the grab points, it will show it. Thing is, it doesn’t stay still, when I select it, it drifts, thus scaling and changing dimensions, never allowing me to get the “exact” pixel measurement, which is what I need, exact info

Do we have this? Just probably under a different name that I’m not aware about (daub or something)? Thanks

This happens to me almost everyday. I would suggest for dev to replicate, try having a document with many layers and the following conditions: For me at least... when I have around 15 - 20 layers, working about through each one, jumping out of one, into the other type of workflow, and accumulated hours (5-6 straight) this scenario, the OP expresses starts appearing for me. It doesn’t not come alone. I also get the marching ant line starts to disappear while it’s up. I have exit the file, then re-enter, and then there goes my marching ant line. These two two occur together hand in hand with me, if one occurs before the other - it’s already established, the other will pop up, just a matter of time.

Thank you!

Thank you. I’m registering what you are saying as, bring down the hard edge of the brush. I tried doing the technique you mentioned @Alfred unfortunately, I must be doing something, I still get the picture frame edges of the canvas itself showing. Stull working on on this one.

Where is the soft texture brush? There doesn’t seem to be a brush called soft brush.

I just finished importing a bunch of brushes. worst case scenario example, my iPad breaks get stolen... blah, blah. Good thing, auto back exists - which I do have up setup along with 2 terabytes of iCloud storage as a cushion. So.. I would hope, at the very least.... this option backups all my brushes into iCloud and automatically installs them back into AP? I have to question such things since I lost 5 months of work when I found out the hard way Unfortunately AP doesn’t auto backup, our photos stored inside of it. Something I hope they really fix. Would appreciate some clarification here, don’t want my brushes catching the same treatment. Thanks.

I attached photo. How? Trying to make photo and it’s canvas appear as if manifesting from the ethereal plane into our existence. Thus, no edges at all, kind of like a *phasing* into reality look.

You guys may know this, but I didn’t, stumbled upon it after spending 30-40minutes researching it yesterday. Thus, wanted to save anybody that time by share this for those not in the know: (thank you Apple - for making this shiat unnecessarily difficult) Anywho here it goes: 1) Via safari browser (or any browser of your choosing) Go to google drive. (Must be from browser, not google drive app, the app doesn’t import raws) 2) May have to request desktop view, otherwise your app will keep launching. (To request desktop - long press refresh circular arrow at top right, inside browser) 3) once in google drive, choose your file, tap drop down download arrow or long press to save. *boom* you’re done. Raw file.

Anybody know how?

Wanted to share this in case it pertains to you. Need google drive though: If you have the image stored on google drive, import it directly from the safari browser. (Meaning go google drive) via your safari browser. Do not let the app itself do it, otherwise, will not be raw file. It’ll be the raw file if you download it directly from google drive via the browser. “Request desktop view” choose file, tap download arrow. Done. Just learned this yesterday myself. Works like a charm.

UPDATE 1: Sent it to cloud as a .psd, preserves layers. Great! Unfortunately now I cannot edit text. I tap on a word, it just tries to create a cell for adding new text, instead of recognizing, that I am trying to edit pre existing text. Finished doing another test, cannot edit pre-existing text. After importing file from cloud in .psd Solutions? (Not crashing now, but that’s because I cannot edit the text, which was causing the crash) Yes it’s one file, every time I hit back, it crashes app. Tested on other files, they work fine, no CTD. workflow: After I make an edit with the different text, deleting (deleting words in a sentence, to shorten sentence) in this particular file, I then tap back arrow to close file - it then CTD (CTD = Crashes To Desktop) This CTD only happens when I edit text. In any way. No apps running in background. 268g of free hdd. Possible workaround: Can I send file up to cloud in layers? (Not unified) Assuming if delete file in AP, (after sending to cloud) when I bring back down will work without issues “in theory”. Thanks about .eps.

Woah, didn’t even know this existed. Giddy as hell right now. Thank you!
