As I can remember the defective pencil had a bigger gab between the nib. Maybe that was the normal variation. Another pencil that I replaced had the nib off centered without any effect in sensitivity. I even deleted my iPad twice and clean installs of iPad OS 13.5 and iPad OS 14 beta and Affinity Designer, Photo, Photo Beta. The same. BTW: I was using the “Comics Ink Pen” not the “Comics G Pen”
Yes my photo is the default state of the Comics Ink Pen after re-installing the 1.8.4 beta app, double checked against 1.8.3, my preview is long and skinny, your preview is short and fat. EDIT: Default width is 36 so my preview obviously is long and skinny.

It looks like your pencil hasn’t much pressure sensitivity anymore. The blob appears with all brushes, smaller sizes too. If more pressure was applied they aren’t visible. Such variations are something you can easily do with real ink and a good red sable brush. I’m never using any screen protector. In the past I had an Apple Pencil 2 with too low pressure sensitivity that was replaced by Apple CS.
Hmmm perhaps you’re right although in all these years I never considered I didn’t have enough pressure control.
EDIT: My son recently bought a new 10.2” iPad that still uses Pencil 1, just tried it on my iPad, works exactly the same so don’t think that’s an issue. Think we need to collate whether you’re using Pencil 1 or 2.
By the way I did a re-install of the beta as I stated before there is sufficient rope to hang ourselves in configuration and with no real way to reset brushes to their real default other than deleting and reloading the brushes or reinstalling. Here is the real default pressure profile of that brush, how does your default look?

Why would you try to paint such a thin line with a fat brush, is it to avoid changing settings but I can’t see how with that setting you would get such a thin line apart from barely touching the screen, as if you had something in between, like a screen protector which is ruining the pencil performance perhaps?

Again too much pressure or defective pencil. How is your global pressure curve under preferences set?

Hi, all and please hope that this solves now.
Please try that:
- take Inks Category brush (Comics Ink Pen or Brush Pen) and remember Reset brush to its default settings.
- set Brush Width to 240 px.... or even more. (IMPORTANT! to show clearly that problem)
- place pen tip lightly to the screen and try to draw slowly nice clean dynamic lines.
I am quite sure that most of you see a bigger blop mark at the start of your lines.
That happen when your pencil tip first time touches or registering the screen.
Other IOS programs (Procreate, ClipStudioPaint, SketchBook, ArtRage eg.)
do not spit pen pressure at the start of the line or so when pen tip is the first time placed and registered on the screen.Tested this with latest Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo 1.8.3 with iPad Air 3, iPad mini 5, iPad Pro 12.9" (1st gen), iPad 2018 (6th gen) and all behave same.
BTW. This problem is same as desktop versions in the past, but they got it fixed while ago.
Thanks all!
Nope, no blobs. IPad Pro 9.7”, Apple Pencil 1

@Luovatone @Paul Mudditt @DM1 @Artsketch - What do think about the above video?
Should be intresting to know what’s the differences between my setup and all you having this ”blob” issue when painting with pixel brushes into Affinity Photo/Designer on iPad?
Any suggestions?
On my second video I got a minor error caused by me not cleanly touching the screen, I bounced a bit
This is why I previously asked about screen protectors, which I have never used in 10 years with iPads as they are horrible in my personal opinion and unnecessary if you use a decent case with front and rear protection.
Still might be interesting to see how many who use them have this problem, as I can image how they would make the tip perform a micro bounce.
As a software developer in a previous life, there is so much flexibility in configuration, perhaps more than other packages, that to use a software term, “there is enough rope to hang yourself”.The fact that there is no way to reset a brush back to it’s original configuration, discounting reloading from file, along with 2 different methods of brush editing, temporarily from the context bar which can be reset, and semi-permanently from the brushes menu is a problem waiting to happen to me.

This has to be a very basic question. I’m a new user to Affinity on my iPad so apologize for its likely simplicity. I understand the concept of painting in areas of a photo to expose them to a photo that is on a layer further down in the hierarchy. My frustration is that I cannot figure out how to have multiple photos on separate layers. For real estate photography I need to take two identical photo shots with different exposures. One for the room and one to properly expose the ‘blown out’ windows. I open the one with the proper window exposure but now want to have the one with the proper room exposure layered above so I can paint out the windows and expose the lower layer. How do I add the second photo to a pixel layer without losing the first?
Create a new HDR merge from the two photos and Affinity will sort it out for you automatically.

Wow, I can hear a scraping noise on your video, hope your not using a screen protector?

I’m using the iPad Pro 2018 12.9“. It occurs on all pressure variable pixel brushes. Some brushes on the picture are from the '"inks“ brushes.
The only way I can do anything like that is if I loosen off the tip of the pencil, once I tighten it up it does not happen no matter what I do on my iPad, I wonder if other iPad’s have this problem.

Can someone help me, I have watched this video 10 times but I can’t figure out how to do this same technique in affinity. Can some give me step by step for doing this using affinity on my iPad, I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I am reaching out to see if there is someone out there that can tell me how I do this using Affinity. Thank you 🙏
Desktop version in Affinity but steps are similar on iPAd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flpc7IOx-SkAlso this iPad tutorial is for a similar effect should also give you some clues, follow this one first.

Sure this occurs with all brushes using Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity. Other apps on iPad using Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity like Photoshop, Fresco, Sketch, Concepts, Procreate, Sketch Book, Artstudio Pro, Art Set don’t have this blob issue. So it isn’t Apples fault.
I’ve seen mentions of this loads of time in these forums but am I the only person who has never seen this behaviour with Apple Pencil in Photo or Designer. I have first generation on first generation 9.7” iPad Pro. Is there a specific brush you have to use to get this error?

Thanks for this - I should clarify though that I have many years of experience with Illustrator so most of these ideas are pretty clear. What I’m missing is the mechanics of doing things. Like, in this case, nowhere is it said that if the parent layer isn’t empty it will automatically clip!
Anyway like I said bravo on a great piece of work. Now if only the UI wasn’t so dark....
Designer isn't Illustrator as Photo isn't Photoshop, the workflow is different. It's best to forget everything you know about Illustrator or Photoshop or much frustration will result. A parent layer can be a group which is what you want, but it can also be a a clipping layer and it can also be a masking layer, all are different parent child relationships in Designer.

Do you have a text version of the video?
In words,
1. Select first layer, swipe second layer so that both layers are marked as selected
2. Press the group button
If your group layer does not say “group” then it isn’t a group !

I’m not sure I’d you guys know what I’m talking about but I’ve been fiddling a lot with affinity designer today and I learned I can play around with width of the shape with a sort of curves tool—like in Lightroom. I’ve bumped into this little issue though, instead of of the shape being smooth around there’s little bumps. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Here’s an image of what I’m talking about: Affinity Bump Issue
Thanks!
For future reference, instead of adding links to an external site, you can also upload your files including your .afdesign file directly to this group so that others can help you. Just save a copy to On My IPad or to iCloud Files and select the choose files option.

The iPad storage message lags behind actions performed on apps, just give it time but if you are in a hurry go not settings - iPad storage - affinity photo then select offload app (Note do not delete app!) then reload it which will force a recalculation. Note it will make no difference to the overall free space in the iPad which is shown correctly.

Sorry this is an iPadOS14 beta observation rather than a bug report but the font selector is so different and I didn’t spot a reference to this change other than text improvements.

I bought my affinity photo in 2018. I was a beta user in 2019 and it work fine now it’s saying I don’t own the app. I can’t get back to my projects the screenshots are down below. Any help please
Have you changed your Apple ID or country location since you first purchased it? Sign into App Store using your original Apple ID.

Hi Affinity Team,
After testing the awesome mouse and font support, I noticed that the App collides with the new scribble feature, means if it’s turned on, you cant paint with the AP brushes any longer, like it’s always activated not just in text form fields.
Turning scribble off in the pencil settings helps, after that everything works like expected.
Just to let you know, even it’s really early into the iPad Os 14 Beta, maybe Apple has to fix it.
cheers,
lutz
Urgh hadn’t noticed that as I turned the scribble feature off very soon after updating to the IOS14 beta, it’s a horrible ill thought out option.

Thank you DWright , I appreciate your help and time. Enjoy your day.

I'm using Affinity Designer on iPad and have a document with about 30 layer groups that need to be exported as individual files. Each layer group is already named with what I would like to use as the file name. Using the export persona, selecting each of my layer groups and creating slices and exporting those quickly saves all my files with the correct filename.
Unfortunately, all the exported files have white space around the images where some of the graphics extend beyond the canvas. I can't figure out a way to crop everything falling outside of my canvas in Affinity Designer to prevent this. I don't care if I permanently delete everything off the canvas or just need to change a setting so it isn't included in my slices. Is there a way to do this?
Edit: I got this to work by starting over with my slices and manually dragging the bounding box to the canvas one by one. It works, but was still a bit slow doing it for each layer. I would still like to know if anyone has any tips do this more efficiently.
Did you have snapping turned on, the magnet at the side on iPad, the top on desktop, I make sure my slices snap to the edge of the canvas then no chance of overspill.

Hi,
Why mouse scroll is not working with AD iPad? The click and other function is working well, but not the scroll. I'm using latest iPadOS and logitech MX 2 mouse.
Thanks!
Scroll works fine with my Magic Mouse 2 on the Affinity Home screen, in the layer stack and when I am scrolling through photo albums to place an an image, I can't think of anywhere else you would have anything to scroll.

So did this get bottomed out.
Enter curly quotes on iPad you get curly quotes. Transfer to mac it is still curly quotes.
Try to enter quotes on the mac keyboard you get vertical quotes?
(Photos are in reverse order)

I can’t copy from Photo to Designer on iPad (can copy from Procreate... 😬). I’ve used the main menu and touch gestures but to no avail
File format is the same you can save outside of one app and import into other app or use IOS drag and drop to transfer document from one package to the other.

Hello everyone. I purchased the app approximately two months ago, and in all this time I’ll been trying and using the app and all the functions, I’ve never seen an ‘Replace Image’ option. Sorry very much for my bad English (it’s not my primary language).
Btw, I was searching on google about this and I can’t find nothing and neither a solution. Someone knows how can I replace a X layer (image) by an Y layer (image)? I’m a logo designer and always wanna do this but it’s so annoying don’t have this option. I’m always like I wanna change one item of my project but I just wanna replace it (without moving it anywhere else). I have to make it manually and it’s practically imposible put it on the same size and parameters. Please help me!
