Help in precision
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Very nice work ! There is a dedicated section for sharing your nice work, it’s not good to post in the questions area as it will overwork the staffers on their tea break. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/10-share-your-work/ -
APP Crashing RAW CR2
Paul Mudditt replied to Jwiles's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Can you post here an example CR2 file that you have a problem with for people to check. -
Trimming canvas with visual feedback
Paul Mudditt replied to a topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on iPad
The common work around is to draw a rectangle the size you want larger than the canvas, select unclip canvas then clip canvas to the new size, finally remove the rectangle. -
iPad Photos extension
Paul Mudditt replied to Teddylours's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on iPad
That is correct but as I understand this there is not much Serif can do about this as it’s an IOS Photos issue which simply does not present the RAW files to the share extension, instead it offers an optimised jpeg version to other apps and the share sheet. Fingers crossed IOS13 fixes this. -
As stated above this feature has been available for a very long time. 7EAD26BD-89A9-446F-9693-7FBBFF0A4FE1.MP4

White background on transparent one
Paul Mudditt replied to Nadar's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Try picking up your layers and moving them around, look for the blue line types you can see. Because your layers are indenting you are masking one layer with the other. You should try to get your layers on top of each other without indentation. See my examples below paying attention to those with indentation and those without. Edit: Ignore the video bottom right of my screen recording, I was watching Watchdog on iPlayer at the same time lol. 7F90C090-2204-40B5-A6A1-C0B5068B98D4.MP4 -
Transform Text
Paul Mudditt replied to TokyoMike's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
I have had no problems rotating text around a central point in this example. I created the top text JAN on a circle then simply duplicated and rotated by 360/12 degrees 11 times, finally select each text layer and edit the JAN to FEB, MAR etc -
Yes it would be useful, what was the app that you mentioned implemented a hover function, I presume it was some sort of NULL tool that behaves like any other tool but does nothing more than anchor a start point. Edit: Or as a modifier to any tool eg two fingers on screen when placing first point, when snap occurs lift two fingers to start line, circle etc from that snap point.

Selecting multiple layers
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Using your fingers not pencil, select first layer with one finger tap, select last layer with two finger tap (awkward but works!). FE4474CA-8AC3-4E8A-9B35-732A56A13DE4.MP4 -

Can you upload your design here for others to check or can you do a screen recording of your problem? -

Paul Mudditt replied to Nadar's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
If you upload your afphoto or afdesign file here someone may be able to help. Alternatively a screen shot of your layers panel would help. -
I cannot open photo
Paul Mudditt replied to sery's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Have you tried closing all apps down and doing a doing a restart on your iPad, press home AND power button together continuously until you see the Apple Logo or see this article. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201559 -
Live Photos
Paul Mudditt replied to Enrique Gaitan's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
You have to export to the camera roll as a new edited duplicate, the original will not be overwritten in the photos app. You can however have that behaviour if your photos are stored outside of the photos app say in iCloud or Dropbox if that is what you require, -
Not sure if this is what you are trying to do but try the SelectionFromLayer macro in this Macro Library I collated for the iPad, it simply replaces the desktop command as a macro. Mud’s Macros SelectionFromLayer - convert a layer into a pixel selection (the missing desktop command) SelectAllLayers - select all layers quickly (the missing desktop command) DeSelectAllLayers - de select all layers quickly (the missing desktop command) PencilPortrait - Convert Photo to pencil sketch (Credit: Alpha Sierra, YouTube) InpaintCrop2 - fix edges after a straighten crop (Credit: Jim Welsh) Inpaint - the inpaint command (the missing desktop command) Mud's Macros.afmacros

Font 'problems'
Paul Mudditt replied to shapelet's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
1. Try using the move tool, once you select your text box you can resize by dragging a corner. Also you can select the text studio and scrub up and down to change text height. You can also enter the text studio and change font and size from there. See below. 2. Pretty sure that’s been reported before but one of the Serif engineers will likely confirm. Think the units changing dialog box should not have been displayed there. A5022C2E-8A38-43CA-8FF5-0B86C22DDC1F.MP4 -
Can I import assets (.afasset)?
Paul Mudditt replied to BR29's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Thanks BR29, some of the IOS issues are not of Serif’s making ( by the way i’m just a user like you, not affiliated with Serif or Affinity in any way ). Google drive issue has been reported before, iCloud Drive, Dropbox (eventually)j and On my iPad folders also work, as for other cloud services expect problems like this. -

There is no need to use Youtube, you can do a screen recording in IOS and load directly to your post using the Click to choose files option below. -
Can I import assets (.afasset)?
Paul Mudditt replied to BR29's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Please watch the video. Can I ask where are your ..afassets file located, IOS can be a bit temperamental about where it loads from. In my example I have created a resources folder in the root of iCloud Drive. Other locations may not work as well. -

I’m sorry you feel that way, I’ve gone to the effort as a polite Englishman to make a video for you, and no, I am not being sarcastic. AD6FDEFC-6D22-4DFC-B743-1D72C18A5151.MP4 -
* A new way to import photos
Paul Mudditt replied to HansYang's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on iPad
I have a Canon camera that uses Wi-fi, but I no longer use the Wi-fi since the Canon camera or Canon app automatically converts any captured RAW files to jpg before transfer to iPad or iPhone over Wi-fi to reduce the transfer time as Wi-fi is very slow for large RAW files. Instead, I use the Apple USB connector to connect my iPad to my camera directly, in this way the IOS Photos app imports the CR2 RAW files directly over the much higher speed USB direct link. You can also use the Apple SD card reader to import RAW files as well.
