Affinity iPad Student

[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?

Fixed. Had to redownload from the cloud. Somehow got bugged.

Running iPad 10.5 pr0 (2017 model) Affinity Photo Version 1.6.12 iOS: 12.1.4 Tried closing out app, then obviously relaunching. Even tested out colors in filter persona, only to get the auto remade options, it’s as if, my manual customization dials have been removed from the app. What’s going on here? Please see attached image for proof.

Some kind of visual indicator (colored dot) somewhere on the workspace, that lights up, whenever a layer or a smart selection is inverted. I’ve made countless errors, because I wasn’t aware the selection I was on, was inverted. @stokerg comprehends what I am expressing, and understands the benefit. Get to it serif! I created a thread here: In other news, The Verbe released a YouTube video showing the new adobe photoshop for iPad. (Potentially, to be fully revealed at the rumored iPad event being hosted later this month) we shall see. I saw saw some stuff there that reminded me of AP. Serif, get your guns out, we about to go to war with these dudes!

@stokerg Unfortunately touch only gestures does not work, Affinity Photo senses your wrist or side palm of your hand, mistakes it as a long press, brings up colour picker. I have Apple Pencil & iPad Pro 10.5 I reported this last year, hope they get around to fixing it.

@stokerg Yes, invert selection option. Ah, so history studio is location. I rarely use history studio. I mostly just tap back button or undo. So outside of that, whenever I have a smart selection - active (the marching ants) it transcends layers, can affect any layer that’s chosen. Which I use for duplication of a specific area, or erasing within or outside of a specific area. So outside of history studio, there is no way, at a glance, to notice (the marching ants are inverted) @toltec and @DM1 You jackasses.. lol. Had me in laughter over here.

You can add them back from the settings in the main board (mainboard meaning when you’re outside of your project) go to interface and select “show undo / redo buttons” they express this in the new video (which is in your tutorials)

I appreciate the nice little touches added to 1.6.9 Example: The new lit up snap to edges, the new lit up icons when copying pasting etc.. Way more visual indications which is great, helps the flow and gives us awareness. Did serif add any kind of indicator to show when we are inverted or not?

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

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.
