    Awesome work @MikeTO !! Thank you very much !!

    Using the pop up numerical pad and Apple Pencil as always, never use my keyboard for entering such data. However it does appear to be an easy one to fix for the decimal point.

    What is your expected viewing distance, 300 DPI seems to be very high for such a large image, to see it properly you a likely needing to stand 1.5 to 2 metres away and your eyes cannot resolve 300 DPI at that distance. My suggestion would be to use a more practical DPI of around 120 DPI. https://prinfab.com/blog/viewing-distance-and-dpi/ https://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/17835/how-to-calculate-viewing-distance-for-a-print-size https://resources.printhandbook.com/pages/viewing-distance-dpi.php

    Yes, I have the same experience, starting always from pixels, I just always do resizes using 3 steps on the iPad, DPI change, then units change, then size change.
  5. Paul Mudditt
    No idea why but on the iPad version I have to do this in 3 Resize document steps:- 1. Increase document DPI to 1200 or more otherwise 26mm @ 72 dpi can’t be anything other than pixelated. 2. Change from pixels or whatever to mm dimensions if your document is not already sized in mm. 3. Change dimensions to 26mm. Job eventually done. Note you chose 300DPI which cannot give an exact mm size and the document would end up at 26.1 mm as you can’t have fractions of a pixel for a document size. RPReplay_Final1694330043.mp4

    Look at www.icloud.com to see what has sync’d to iCloud and what has not. If you are in low power mode sync will not occur.Generally you need to be plugged into a power source for items to sync. Also very importantly, if you have not saved AND CLOSED the Affinity document in the Affinity sandbox then the correct file will not sync, just like on the desktop always save and close any open files.

    The counter-intuitive solution for me was to change from using a 4K monitor to a 2K monitor and gain much more ‘screen real estate’ to work. ideally I would have gone for a $$$ 5K display (as apple did) and get the same 2K real estate but using retina mode so smoother characters and lines, but at my age my eyes can’t tell the difference anyway so not worth the extra money for me. My conclusion :- 2K is way superior to a 4K but not as good as 5K on a 27” monitor.
  8. Paul Mudditt
    I have seen this chart before but never really studied it, it is very good, did you create it? It highlights how bad 4K displays are UNLESS they are 34” or larger (non-retina) or 21.5” or smaller (retina)
  9. Paul Mudditt
    I get where you are coming from but it is not just Affinity and Adobe that have problems with 4K displays. There is a reason why apple uses 5K displays as with 4K everything is too small, and looks really poor even and when scaled 3840 x 2160 scales to 1920 x 1080 which gives hardly any real estate, whereas 5K scaled 5120 x 2880 scales down to a very usable 2560 x 1440. I learnt this the hard way and sold on my 4K monitor and replaced by two 2K 2560x1440 displays which I find way more usable than a 4K display.

    iCloud folders will also work ok it is iCloud Photos which is completely separate which has the problem as it is when you take images as raw+jpg in your camera.
  11. Paul Mudditt
    If you do not use iCloud Photos then you won't have this problem, you will just have the alternative problem, free space.
  12. Paul Mudditt
    I am not using the onscreen keyboard, I am using the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio.
  13. Paul Mudditt
    Yes more real estate on the 12.9" so will be fine there. If you look at my publisher landscape image, it uses the three dots (...) method of showing extra icons but photo and designer landscape don't use the (...) method so is simply running out of space to show all the icons. So icons are there, just hidden by insufficient space.
  14. Paul Mudditt
    Did you try using the IOS Shortcut method of opening your RAW images ?
  15. Paul Mudditt
    I’m using Apple Smart Keyboard with my iPad Pro, there seems to be a long press new? pop up menu appearing for me on IOS17 beta that includes those characters possibly? RPReplay_Final1692289423.mp4

    Hi Bob, yes missing in Designer and Photo but only in Landscape mode, some icons are not displayed on my 11” iPad Pro. We need the toolbar extension (…) like Publisher has. Note they do however appear in Portrait Mode as show below.

    @MEB I think you created your example using V2 beta so the op may have trouble opening it. EDIT: Converted to V2.1 compatible. single_mask_multiple_adjust.afphoto_V2.1.afphoto

    How about a macro to Flip Height and Width, any use? All it would do is change image orientation then flatten in one step which seems to do the trick on a simple image ? Mud's Macros V19.afmacros
  19. Paul Mudditt
    EDIT: gotcha, my bad.

    Seems to export ok on my M1 Mac Mini assuming I have same settings as you. I do not see a preview image though. Something to try is to close Affinity down then start up with CONTROL pressed to show the special 'clear user data' menu and clear recent documents. TEST.pdf

    You really should not be using iPadOS beta software if this is important for you. It won’t be stable enough until September or October and I would not expect Serif to spend time looking at any of these issues for several months as they are often fixed by Apple iPadOS changes. EDIT: I confirm the export crash in V2.1 and V2.2 beta, however if you export->share to apple photos instead the app does not crash.
  22. Paul Mudditt
    I often recommend that you should develop each image, sharpen where necessary before you do the HDR merge, quick example on my iPad Pro. Similar results to Nathan workflow but because raw images are notoriously soft maybe slight improvement on detail as you can see best in the writing.
  23. Paul Mudditt
    The context toolbar is at the top of the screen. Due to the small size of your iPad screen you will need to slide the context toolbar to the left to expose the colour swatches, note it slides left and right.

    Strangely enough V2.1 so far works fine using the new interface on iPadOS17.0 public beta so I think it must be some new 'rights' management issue with the beta apps which also struggle on macOS 14.0 public beta as well.
  25. Paul Mudditt
    I am working around the cracks, I have stated previously the Raw Power app appears to have no problem choosing the reverted file to get around the automatic IOS type conversion but since the designer previously worked for Apple I guess he knows the secrets. New photo access methods appeared in iPadOS17 beta today for the Affinity app betas, hopefully these will eventually help to avoid the automatic type conversion which happens with iOS, iPadOS which are part of the cause of the problem (automatic conversion to most compatible jpg format)
