Is there a way to see the brush size circle when using it? It disappears when you are actually using it. i don’t understand why no one responded to the above post of mine, after all this time, particularly as at least two others here seem to have the same question.

Ah, now it works. I’ll try again later,

Thanks for replying. Also, thanks for the link. The problem with the name is that it’s very generic. Photo can mean anything. Fortunately, the color of the icon is so distinctive that it does stand out. The Pencil is otherwise fine. At first I thought it wasn’t linked to the iPad, but it was. I’m using it on the background layer. For the image in mind, there is only a background layer, and no masks, etc. As I say, it seems to come and go. I can draw single pixel width lines, but not select anything. Or I can select a tool, but not use it. Or I can partly use it. For example, I can select the perspective tool. Then the grid shows up, partly off the screen to the right, which is odd in itself. I can then shrink the image to get to the edge of the grid and pull those points in with the pencil. Once I get it where I want, nothing happens. But if I do exactly the same thing with my fingers, the image adjusts the way it should. It’s very odd. None of the tutorials mention setting up the Pencil. After we we finish with this, I’ll go to the proper thread.

Since I’m new here, I don’t know my way around, I didn’t want to start a thread for this, unless I have to. I’m using a 2017 iPad Pro 12.9”. I see that it seems that questions about iOS and Mac versions are mixed in the threads, so... My three questions: Is there a thread that just addresses the iOS version? A quick question of whether the name for the app in iOS could be changed for the icon. Calling it “Photo” isn’t helpful. Why can’t it be called Affinity? That’s it’s name, correct? I can’t seem to get the Apple Pencil working properly. Sometimes it recognizes it, but just as a line tool. Sometimes it doesn’t seem to recognize it at all. Using my finger is fine much of the time, but really...
