Greetings all from Malta! Just dropping in to say I've put live three new videos and added them to the first post. They are Retouching, iOS 11 Drag & Drop and On-Screen Modifiers, and here they are for easy access:
 
Retouching (Frequency Separation & Retouching Tools) Discover Photo for iPad's range of retouching tools, including:
Automated Frequency Separation
Blemish Removal Tool
Healing Brush Tool
Patch Tool
Clone Tool
Inpainting Tool
Watch: Vimeo / YouTube iOS 11 Drag & Drop See how to use iOS 11's new Files browser and its drag-drop functionality to import images into Photo - including dropping multiple images in for stacking, HDR merge, panorama stitching and more. Watch: Vimeo / YouTube On-Screen Modifiers Learn how to enable and use on-screen modifiers with the iPad version of Affinity Photo. They behave the same way as traditional modifiers (Ctrl, CMD, Alt) but are touch-based. Watch: Vimeo / YouTube  
Since I recorded the iOS 11 Drag & Drop video, I'm aware that the developers have added several cool drag-drop additions, so once I return next week from holiday I'll look into re-recording the video and keep you updated when it's ready. Hope you find the videos useful!

Hello,
here some styles, you may like...
Some of the styles are two layer based: Glass, SwampCamping and SanFrancisco.
( As soon as I have more time, I will write an additional tutorial. )
Have fun.

Hi everyone,
 
The reception to Affinity Photo for iPad has quite rightly been phenomenal. It is, at last, a sign that the the iPad is getting the pro software that the hardware is capable of running.
 
The features I would most like to see going forward are a floating modifier key panel (like AstroPad has), and external keyboard support.
 
Modifier keys would allow for more accurate and efficient use of the clone tool (alt click to sample, click to clone) when manually cloning tricky areas that the automated methods cannot deal with.
They would also allow better access to manipulating the handles of vector paths rather than constantly switching between the Pen and Node tools (on that subject, we need the ability to manipulate the two handles independently which I think is vital for accurate paths).
A little spacebar key would let the user pan around the image without lifting the Apple Pencil off the screen... I could go on and on.
Basically they would allow one tool to have multiple states without needing to switch tools or lose the accuracy of the Pencil by requiring a clumsy finger gesture.
 
External keyboard support would be fantastic for quickly switching between tools, deselecting, re-selecting, quick access to the Fade command etc.
Increased efficiency for power users basically.
 
In summary, I'd love to be able to complete those finickity and tedious retouching tasks that we all have to do as quickly and painlessly as possible.
 
Thank you again for a really astonishing piece of software. I can't wait to see how it develops.

I'd also like to be able to reorder my custom palettes.

When I make a custom set of swatches, I would really like the ability to reorder them.

The iPad version does memorize the settings if you do it through the studio, rather than the panel at the bottom. But I agree that being able to duplicate within the iPad app is pretty important.

Please add the option to duplicate brushes.
 
The desktop-version has got it. As the iPad-version does not memorize edited brush settings, the only way for effective workflow is creating a set of brushes, that meet the personal requirements. As without brush-duplication-option every self-created brush needs to be created from scratch, the quickest way at the moment is creating brushes from duplicates in the desktop-version, importing them into the iPad version. Works - but is very inconvenient.
