I assume this will be on the Mac App Store?

Great, thanks. I thought that was the case.

Hi all, I was watching this video on creating blur effects from alpha channels in Photoshop and I am wondering if it is possible to create a similar effect in Affinity. It looks like when they do the blur, they are targeting the alpha channel in the blur dialog box in PS.

Yeah, that is what I was looking for what John Rostron was saying. I didn't think that was possible, but didn't hurt to ask.

So, this brings me to a similar question I had. I use a handful of Topaz filters on the macOS version. Obviously, I can't use these filters on the iPad. I generally just accept the defaults on the filter. Is there a way to figure out what each filter I like does (kinda like a compare for a before or after) and build a macro I can use on the iPad that gets me close enough?

Is there a way to import affinity tone map presets that work on the Desktop version to the iPad?

Just out of curiosity, do you have Optimize for iPad storage turned on? I do and I wonder if that is affecting things. Because now that I think about it, I may have not imported it from the SD card but copied the DNG files into Photos on my Mac.

Sure. See attached. _IGP6670.DNG

I’m not sure if this is an iOS 11 beta issue, so if so, feel free to ignore. When I import a DMG file from Photos that has been copied from my SD card, the previews are blank.

Ok. Thanks. That’s what I thought but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious.

Accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. I work with a lot of images I’m comfortable with random people seeing. Some of them are NSFW, or sketches that aren’t developed well. Am I correct that the only way to “hide” images is to export them out as Affinity Photo Images to something like iCloud Drive and then reimport them when I want to work on them?

(bah, posted in wrong forum and can’t delete post)

After going through a lot of selective deletes on an iPad photo, it was terribly inconvenient having to select the area in one persona, switch to the photos persona to two-finger tap to select “delete” and then go back to the Selections Persona. I would like for there to be a way for me to do this all in the one persona. Right now, the fastest way is for me to have an external keyboard handy to hit the delete key on. That works in the Selections Persona.

Ah, ok. I’m on a Mac so I’m not sure where they go if it doesn’t see Photoshop

So, we can close this out. For people after me who may have this problem, here are the steps: Add the PS Plug In folder to to the Plug-in search in Affinity. Note: not entirely sure how this works if you don’t have PS installed at all Make sure “Use Unknown Plug-ins” is checked Click the “authorize global” button. This is the step I did not know I needed to do. After this, it worked fine.
