It would really help speed up my workflow if it was possible to record macros on the iPad version of Affinity Photo. I'm really hoping to see this feature in the next updates.

One of the features that would make the iPad version of Affinity Photo much nicer to work on is the ability to quickly flip the canvas horizontally using a gesture. I feel that this is a very important feature and I use it a lot in other apps. I use the horizontal flip when I'm drawing because it helps me see mistakes and makes inking/painting much easier since it gives me different angles to work on. I can imagine that this feature would also be helpful for photo editing because it makes it easier to check the work for any mistakes or areas needing improvement.
So, please give us a gesture to flip the canvas horizontally. It would make a big difference! Thank you Affinity Photo team!

I would like to make my own fonts. I saw a video about an add-on for Photoshop and Illustrator, which I think offers some great features. This add-on is called Fontself.
It would be amazing to have something like this in Affinity Photo!

Both would be useful but the gestures available might be limited. I have looked at the forums of other apps as well and developers tend to be very reluctant to implement many of the popular gesture shortcuts that are suggested by users. They say it's because the gestures available are being used for other shortcuts. But if the developers of Affinity Photo can find a way to implement both of these gestures, then I'm all for it! For me, the 'Flip Canvas Horizontally' is the most important shortcut to have in gesture form but I would also use the "Flip Canvas Vertically' gesture if it was available.

Opening an afphoto file from Dropbox worked fantastically well, but I didn't have one of the fonts on my iPad - would love to be able to add fonts to keep the visual fidelity in sync. (also for AD on ipad when it is ready)
 
Amazing work on the app!! I'm stunned how much you were able to do, and how well.
 
thanks,

To create a pure iPad workflow there needs to be the ability to import RAW files directly from the Photo library on the iPad, not have to use a computer to upload RAW files to a cloud drive first.
 
I know that this is possible as this is a feature I already use with Snapseed.

Testing Affinity Photo on iPad pro and I'm quite pleased with the pro level of the app.
I use it mainly to paint with Apple Pencil .Here are a few notes and suggestions that I hope you take into consideration:
 
1- Ability to have floating panels (studio) which you can move around or close/minimize when not needed.
 
2-If floating panels are not possible , at least the ability to have 2 studios opened and pinned at the same time? For example I really prefer to have the color wheel panel always pinned, and not disappear when I choose brushes. That will minimize the number of taps and enhance the drawing experience.
 
3-The color picker that is included with the brush controls at the bottom is very practical and handy, BUT, you must click outside of it in order to close it and then start painting, opening it again, tap to close, etc. it would be ideal to : a- be able to pin it, so you can use the HSB sliders naturally while you paint. b- if pinning it is not possible, at least let it close itself as the user starts painting, without the need to tap to close it. That will enhance the workflow.
 
4a-Finger press-and-hold for color picker feels awkward and needs to be enhanced, the circle is way far off , I think it would be ideal that the center of the colorpicker picks the color directly underneath it, and not where the user's finger is, specially when you drag the colorpicker on the canvas, the center of that circle gives the impression that it should be picking what's underneath. If you don't want to change this permanently at least give the user the option to toggle on or off.
 
4b-The time it takes for the colorpicker circle to show up (finger press-and-hold) is a bit long, make it faster or let the user specify this speed in the settings.
 
5-Layer lock isn't working, the icon turns red but you can still draw on the layer...
 
6-Add transparency lock /lock/ visibilty icons directly to the layer panel without the need to click on the (...) and open another panel.
 
7-Add clipping mask ability. 
 
8-Ability to hide the selection marching ants.
 
9-Easier way for undo-redo , the icons are really tiny, maybe a gesture, like two finger tap  , or swipe..
 
10- An easy way to flip canvas horizontally. 
 
11- There is an annoying white circle that appears and fades when pinch you zoom in and out while on the brush mode. I think it's absolutely unnecessary. 
 
12- An easy way to select an area of the image with Lasso tool and do free transform on it. currently it's a bit of a hassle, Going to the selection Persona for selection and then going to Filters for Perspective transform? which doesn't work well for simply transforming a part of the painting - I think implementing a Free Transform tool that is accessible in the selection Persona is ideal.
 
Thank you!

Hello Affinity Team,
 
Is there a way to preview the cursor/brush size while painting or brushing? I understand the iPad doesn't have hover support but at least while brushing, I hope to see the boundaries of the brush.
 
Thank you so much!

Deay Serif,
 
you really did a great job and made my dream app. Just 2 more options and i really don't need to leave my ipad and the app for any reason except take a rest: i wish you can put perspective guide for drawing correct perspective with all kind ( 1,2,3 and curvilinear). The second option is drawing guides (lines, ellipse, lazy brush).
 
the 2 options are great in an app called infinite painter. That's why i always have to go there for this kind of drawing tasks. So if you can put those 2 options in affinity photo for ipad pro it will be the real complete package for any concept artist.
 
thank you :)
