@SrPx Have you found this to be a problem when using The liquify tool?
-
Hi,
I attached a link to a YouTube link that demonstrates how the liquify push tool starts to tear the image and distort in the wrong place.
In the video I’ve shown how using the AP push tool in one area doesn’t have the desired effect. Then how Procreates liquify push tool response as it should by smoothly pushing the pixels not swirling them after a number of strokes.
I made the spacing in the mesh smaller to allow it to be more accurate. I’ve tried this with the larger spacing as well and it made no difference.
Leaving the liquify push tool as it is only adds limitations to a workflow. Please consider fixing this.

There is no current Affinity Photo Beta active as far as I am aware, this version was released 4 months ago.
Thanks Paul. Is there any info to when the next version will be released and what is/has been fixed?
Ive found and posted some bugs regarding the brush dynamics and was hoping these things might have been addressed? It would be nice to see the standard tools nailed before introducing new tools/features.

Hi,
Am I still able to join the Beta force at this stage of development? I'd really like to help out and improve with the brush and painting side of AP.
Can some please direct me to where I can sign up?
Cheers

The image attach of Photoshops levels control window has the extra sliders at the bottom to adjust the output levels. This is a great option to have to do a final adjustment. If AP added this it would translate the levels adjustment layer across from PS to AP correctly.
Theres a lot of fixing files coming from PS over to AP. With these extra controls there would be a lot of time saved.
In the second image is photoshops gradient layer FX window.
It would be great to have the control to delete colour and transparency nodes and/or adjust their opacity.
This can be done in PS when their is only 2 nodes. You’re able to delete the colour section of the node, leaving just the transparency node. Then if you want you can delete that leaving only 1 node in the gradient bar, that last node can be used as a simple fill.
Having the option to do this is good for adding a colour to an area and not effecting the rest of the image.
This would also help translate the PSD file across without any further adjustments.

I have a Wacom Bamboo stylus, I’d also love to see AP support it.
-
If possible it would be great to use other pens that are available on the market. I’m sure there’s quite a few users that prefer the feel of a Wacom pen rather than being tied down to the Apple Pencil.
I work on a Wacom Cintiq all day long in AP (desktop) and I much prefer the feel and performance of the Wacom pens.
Other apps (Procreate) work great with a Wacom and can really enhance the drawing experience.
Hopefully this might stop the accidental splats of colour that occurs when you tap lightly while painting.
Its very frustrating when painting quickly. This only seems to happen in AP iPad. Other apps are fine.
Oh and please throw in the ability to do Alpha channels 16bit tiffs or tga.
-
I’m in the film and TV industry and alpha channels TGA and TIFF are a huge part of the 2D and 3D workflow. PNG transparency just don’t cut it. It would fantastic to see this as an option in AP. Quite a few people have mentioned this in my industry and have chosen to stay with PS. It would be great to give them no reason not to use AP.

It's Serif (Affinity) choice if they want to integrate support to WACOM pens.
Good to know thanks

Hi Andych56,
All brushes are importing correctly for me both on desktop and on iPad except Andy - Fur & Hair.afbrushes because this is a vector based brush and can only be imported to Affinity Designer.
To import these on an iPad you must place them on iCloud drive (or other cloud service you might be using) then go to the Brushes Studio, tap the small menu icon on the top of the studio (near the Pin icon) and select Import Brushes.... If you are using iOS 10.3.3 you have to import them one by one (not sure about iOS 11 Beta as i don't have it installed here). If they are appearing greyed out for you when you try to access them from iCloud it's probably because you have Adobe Sketch installed. Removing it will allow you to install the brushes. This is a known issue that was already fixed for the next retail update.
Let me know if you still have trouble importing them.
Brilliant thank you! I've been using File Browser to import the brushes from my computer. Unsuccessfully! Not sure why that wouldn't work the same as importing from my dropbox?
I appreciate the help!

Hi Andych56,
Can you please upload the .abr file(s) you are having trouble importing so we can take a look please?
You can use this link to do do. All files will be deleted after being checked.
Thanks.
Hi,
Any luck importing those brush libraries?

You're welcome. I hope to see some of your work on the next video.
Nothing on the linked video - as far as I can see - is about actually creating things with AP, it's all about photo manipulation.
Not showing people the painting tools is a bit like a car manufacturer showing how fast their car can go forward without showing how well it can go round corners too.
I think the Affinity team is missing a bit of a trick there so showing something like your paintings might be a good thing.That's true, I had a few choices of painting apps to choose from when I first starting looking to be away from my desk. I didn't want to cough up 3-4K for the Wacom studio tablet so I could continue to use Photoshop, instead I went with the iPad Pro. The other painting apps were great and are all tailored towards digital painting but lacked the control and features of Photoshop.
Affinity had everything I wanted including the painting side built in. Some things aren't as good as the other apps but I'm able to make do. (Some minor things) I agree if they were to push the painting side more to the public it would seem like the ultimate package.
Im very happy with it and I'm happy I chose it for my go to painting app. Now I'm thinking of flicking Photoshop altogether and running Affinity on the desktop. Just not sure how stable it is. I think there's still some bugs?

Andych56, it's just an idea but have you thought about submitting something for the 1.6 launch?
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/44775-get-your-affinity-work-featured/
I know they are asking for photos - I've no idea why they seem to be restricting this - but any of your paintings would be a great advert for what Affinity can do.Hi Garry,
Thanks for that! That's a great idea, i'd loved the opportunity to have my work be part of an awesome piece of software like Affinity.
Im always working on something, so I'll use the time before submissions close and hand a few in.
Thanks for the heads up!

HI,
Ive uploaded most of the .abr files Ive tried to import including the .afbrushes from the Affinity website.
I appreciate you looking into this for me.

Which particular file types have you tried? I think most, if not all, ABR brushes will import without problems; from what I've read, TPL brushes won't import directly, but if you rename a copy of a *.tpl file to *.abr it should import OK (although it will lose its "tool preset" attributes, of course).
Hey Alfred,
I've had no luck ABR or the Affinity native file EXT afbrushes. I haven't tried .tpl but I'm guessing if I convert them to ABR, they still weren't to import.
Not really sure what the import brushes option does.
Thanks for the suggestions though

Try importing some third party brushes and see how it goes.
Doesn't seem to work I get the same message every time. 'This file type cannot be opened on this app' Ive tried a few different file types, all fail.

Unfortunately, there is no way to export brushes in AP for iPad to re-import it into another category.
If you create the brushes from scratch from within that category, this may be the way to go for now.
One way around this is to create your brushes on the computer version of AP, add them to your own category, and exporting them to Dropbox. From there you can import them into AP for iPad.
Ok thanks. Looks like im stuck with the brushes in the app for now. Im not running a computer version of Affinity.

Amazing. Keep up the good work.
If you go to the brushes and click on the icon that looks like a page, you can create a new category to put your brushes. You can also use the same menu to rename the category. This is also where you will be importing brushes from.
I like importing 3rd party brushes from my DropBox account. It's easy to do.
I attached a screenshot for you to study.
I hope this helps.
That's great! I've been able to make my own category but can't seem to copy brushes from other categories to mine. How do you find the performance of the apps texture brushes when painting? Thanks for the brushes!!!

Andy,
do you use the standard brushes that came with Affinity Photo for the iPad or other third party brushes?
nice work!
Hey AAP,
ATM Im only using the standard circle brush with no texture. I adjust the hardness on the brush to help with the detail. I found the texture brushes didn't respond naturally, maybe that was the sensitivity of the Apple pencil? I really need to look more into creating my own texture brushes. So far I've had no luck with that and importing other 3rd party brushes to try. Maybe you can shed some light into that?
Unfortunately, this version 1.6.2 is unable to duplicate other brushes into a group of my own so it's only the one brush I'm using now.

Thank you all for your kind words. It's much appreciated.

Awesome skill. Tutorial! Tutorial! Plz. Any part of the rearing horse, actually any part of just the back ground.
Hey gdendy,
i used 4 different reference images to create the landscape. One image didn't have the right feel or structure I wanted. So I copied from an image the far background and another for the trees either side of the horse. The waterfall was 2 different images I used as well. I wanted to have a semi dark forest with patches of light leaking in so once I had painted in my background I then started painting in the light. It changes a lot from the initial ref painted background as light bouncing off objects changes the texture. It's almost a repaint, but the dark painted background underneither becomes the shadowed areas. Once I picked my light direction it started to makes sense what objects are effected by the light and what objects are shadowed.
I hope this helped, it's mostly about having fun with it and experimenting with what works.
Im no expert and I'm learning something new with every painting I do. That's the goal for me, which will help me become a better artist. It's all about practice and using the time wisely.

Hey guys,
I thought I'd post a few of my paintings after using Affinity on my new iPad with the Apple Pencil.
Im loving this app for painting on weekends as I use Photoshop on a daily basis for my work as a concept artist/matte painter for film and TV.
Im still getting the hang of it but it's fun.

This has been moved to the iPad feature request forum
Ugly liquify tool needs a make over.
in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on iPad
Posted
Thanks for the reply mate, I totally get that its not a tool you'd use in your process. Especially with my example, it's to the extreme. I don't push it as far as this when using it. However, in the vid you can see how the liquify is making a hole with every stroke rather than push the image to where it needs to go. And by making slight adjustments the tool doesn't act as it should. I only use it for small corrections in the rough sketching stage but still find it difficult to use. It's definitely a nice and quick fixing tool for those problem areas like masking and repositioning pieces of your sketch. Hopefully, it gets fixed before you start using it...if you ever decide to.
Cheers for the feedback
