@Paul Mudditt Interestingly you can delete all the layers and the problem persists. Almost like protect alpha has locked on.
Does it work on desktop?
MAC Supposedly build V1.9.0.196 cannot open it says its from a newer version !!
PC V1.9.0.780 opens it and likewise none of the brushes now work.

The attached is a restoration I was colouring, trying to use a paint brush on the topmost pixel layer, blend mode colour now does nothing even after closing all apps and doing a forced restart. First Gen iPad Pro 9.7”. IPadOS 14.2 beta.

Thanks Paul. The improvement in skin texture is extraordinary. I'm now thinking of getting an iPad.

Affinity is fabulous on iPad with Apple Pencil. There are a few things missing so very occasionally still use the desktop but using iCloud it is easy to start working on PC/MAC then finish off on iPad and vice versa of course.

@cgleesonMy take on this:-
1. Luminescence adjustment noise reduction live filter layer, replicated 3 times. Use in-painting brush to correct minor blemishes.
2. Open in free Remini iPad app to sharpen using AI (Sorry don’t know of a PC solution)
3. Open in free Colorify iPad app to artificially colour. (Sorry don’t know of a PC solution)

I’m a little new to Affinity, though have played with it for a bit. Can someone please help me with steps for importing a PDF and retaining its size? I just can’t seem to find a way to import the PDF itself. Thanks!
Assuming you have downloaded your PDF to a folder, then using Open from Cloud or Import from Cloud options browse to that folder select the file and open it.

Hi everyone. Could I please ask for help with a couple of issues with image resizing and resolution in Affiniti Photo.
- When RESIZING (not resampling) from 72 dpi to 300 dpi the image dimensions (height and width) do not show as having changed, when I would have expected them to be markedly smaller (as per Photoshop). Am I missing something here?
- Is it possible to set a Default DPI so that all work can be saved at this reolution?
Thank you for any help
If your document is sized by for example in inches then changing the dots per inch simply changes the dots per inch density.
So a 6” x 4.5” image at 75 DPI remains 6” x 4.5” when changed to 300 DPI.
However if you care to temporarily toggle the Units field to see the equivalent PIXEL dimensions before and after the resize you will see the pixel dimensions will change.In other words, to change the dimensions of the image, change the dimensions not the DPI.

Today I updated to 1.8.6.1 and unfortunately the issue was not fixed in a way that would
support adding/managing fonts!Only this empty page pops up. Can not do anything!
Have you tried closing all apps and force restarting your iPad?

Just opened a Nikon raw (Z6) into beta, developed it, selected tone mapping persona and got blank screen. Selecting split view showed as per image below.
iPadPro 2018 model running iPadOS v 14.0.1 Affinity Beta 1.9.0.199. Works fine on 1.8.6 ipad version.
Cheers
Andy
Looks like similar problem here:-

Yes this has now been fixed in the update to V1.8 and V1.9 a few days ago.

I used 3 RAW Sony images thru the HDR Merge, but I unchecked the Tone Map, twice, and it worked perfectly.
Then I ran 3 Sony RAW images thru the HDR Merge with the Tone Map on and it also worked perfectly. No crashes
Interesting that the Tone Mapping functioned well, no transparent screens, even tried the gradient tool.
But when I try to run a processed images thru Tone Map Persona am still getting transparent screens with nothing functioning.
I noticed, Paul Mudditt that you are using jpegs, do you think that this is image type specific?
iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation) 1T, iPadOS 14.0.1
No idea, I just automatically upload files that I have a repeatable problem with, this was just an iPhone image of the offshore wind turbine stands waiting to be installed in the North Sea from the River Tyne I decided to test the HDR function on. The bug seems to be in the Tone Mapping part.

Thanks
see the video... this happens in a project with one hundred vectors and few images, if I do the same in an empty project it is working fine.
Is this normal?
Am I missing something?thanks!
Definitely not normal I have the first gen iPad Pro works fine. Are you up to date with iPadOS? Is the app up to date? Have you tried closing all apps and doing a Forced Restart.

These two images crash AP on HDR Merge during the tone mapping. It’s actually only a single image exported twice with boosted exposure. 2015 9.7” iPad Pro on IOS14.2 beta.
EDIT: Performed the HDR Merge as a separate step instant crash with no bug report message.
EDIT: Tested same on V1.8.6.198 and works fine doing the separate steps including Tone map.

I've only recently started using affinity designer and I've been having trouble getting new fonts to work. As far as I can tell fonts that I've downloaded are meant to appear in Affinity Designer but they aren't. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app to try to fix this and still no success, I can't think of anything else to try? Any help would be really appreciated, thanks
Have you installed them into the app under preferences.

Cannot locate rectangular marquee on iPad?
Change to selections persona.

I think you will have to try cutting the people out temporarily then inpainting where they are standing then apply haze removal then add the people back into the image. Anyway, worth a try if you're stuck.
-
Pretty sure those presets are to help app developers who normally have to create many versions of icons and bitmaps with those ratios.

Have been trying out text on a path.
Findings:
AP has crashed for me exclusively, but sporadically when I am using text on a path. Could be a font issue, don’t know. Have not recorded screen captures as this happens sporadically.
difficult for me to initially start the text path. Perhaps that is because I don’t use designer a great deal and haven’t experienced this function.
when I get it started, easy to us the art text tool, am able to change fonts in midstream, size, colour etc.
Difficulty at time to select particularly when the text has wrapped around under the curve.
Have saved a curve, copied and then paste on another image.
Have no idea how or when to use convert to curves (perhaps a tutorial would be appropriate in the future)
But randomly, when I am closing the app, AP crashes.
Have been sending the report through FlightTest
However, I have noted in some cases that devs are asking to submit crash reports thru this site.
These reports I am seeing have a particular thread that deals exclusivesly with the Photo App, AP, plus other threads that report crash reports that show Crash reports.
Hoping that the information needed gets sent to the correct places so that you can see what is going on.
I can’t find any problems with text on a path and did not expect there to be any as the functionality has been built in for a long time, it was only the lack of a UI method of invoking the function,. It makes my TextOnCurve macro redundant now from my Mud’s Macros pack.
It is a difficult function to master initially until you use the BASELINE setting in the Font Studio - Text Positioning. Also understanding that the curve vanishes and a duplicate curve is needed if you want both the text and the curve to be visible.
Saying that, there is clearly a fonts problem linked to iPadOS14 as it causes AP & AD to crash on versions V1.8 and the V1.9 beta when you try to install a font via preferences so I guess it could make an appearance at other times too. -

In Layers I can select multiple layers and group them. All looks fine but when I close the app, do something else then come back to it it opens and the group has disappeared.
it’s just unstacked layers again.
There has always been a problem if you task switched or didn’t return to the affinity Home Screen before you closed the app but assuming you do always return to the Affinity Home Screen each time then can’t say I’ve ever seen that problem.
-
Wow you didn’t mention this ! Nice !
EDIT: I had a quick play, I messed a standard brush up deliberately.
The toggle switch only has an effect if you close then open the beta, when you return to the settings field it automatically turns itself off again as an acknowledgement that the action has been performed.
Very neat!As an ex software guy I can only imagine the internal discussion regarding what to do with imported brushes 😀.
I think you made the right choice though to remove all imported brushes as it might be one of them causing a problem.
People just have to remember to store their brushes in a folder in case there is a need to re-import after performing a reset brushes operation.

Some odd results with different images and there placement in layer stack. One kind of works and the other disappears.
Yes these transparent backgrounds popping up all over the place, I expect this is to do with the Windows 10 changes, yes really !
Brushes stopped working Build V1.9.0.199 (Found: Cause invisible selection pixels)

More weird behaviour, managed to get inpainting brush doing stuff but just not what it was supposed to be doing lol !
Interestingly, exact same behaviour when opened on PC version, using inpainting brush looks like it is cloning from the layers below now.
Just for info obviously I was mid way through a repair when it stopped working, can’t recall what steps triggered this behaviour.
