[apple pencil responsiveness?]

Hi @safoster71,

 

The fewer apps you run at the same time, the better the performance would be. It's generally recommended you only keep the apps you need in the background. As for the pencil, we're not aware of any delays. Make sure it's not running out of battery.  

 

I'm afraid the only way you can hide the UI is by using the "Hide UI" button on the top right corner. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe 

[Bounding box]

Hi @Cleo,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

I'm not really sure what do you mean by that. You don't actually "use" a bounding box. A bounding box is a "guideline" that will contain your object ( line, photo, text, etc). The blue box around the triangle is called "bounding box", but you do not actually create a standalone bounding box. Hope this helps shed a bit more light on your question. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[How to change several line weights at one time]

Hi @Glenda,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

You can select the "Rectangle Tool", then the shapes you need to change and then adjust the line width from the top.

 

 

Thanks,

Gabe.

A bit more colourisation. Open to any improvements/critiques

[Can I pay via paysafe?]

Hi @WolfArtz,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

If you want to purchase Affinity Photo for iPad, you would have to check that with Apple if they support PaySafeCard or not. On their website, it does not appear to be on the list:

Hi @hannes077,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

You can use the live projection technique and the Clone Tool to mask it out. Check this tutorial:

[How to get the color picker sub-tool working with the surface pen]

Hi @The Lightning Phoenix,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

The side button on Surface Pen is hard mapped to Right-click. And you cannot change its behaviour from within Affinity. There are ways of re-mapping the button, but that will remap the entire right-click option to something else, which is generally an option to avoid. Unfortunately, we do not have a "tablet mode" apart from the iOS version. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[pan & zoom problem ( with Wacom Intuos Pro)]

@Kook Kai, make sure you have these drivers. Uninstall any current drivers, restart your computer and install these: http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.29-6.dmg

[pan & zoom problem ( with Wacom Intuos Pro)]

@Kook Kai , Look on the bottom of the tablet. You shall see the model number, i.e PTK-640

[Which product should I choose]

Hi @zychoo,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

If your main goal is to create graphics, Designer would be the way to go, as it's designer for vector/shapes work. If you want to edit photos(tonal adjustments, hdr, panoramas, etc), it would be Photo. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[colour panel default colours]

Hi @Bereklauw,

 

You can set u Keyboard shortcut to do this. Go to Edit>Prefences>Keyboard Shortcuts>Photo dropdown> Miscellaneous Dropdown>Set fill to black and white. You can also switch between BG and FG by pressing X. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Apple pencil]

Hi @Dorien Wagenaar,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

I really doubt that installing Photo on your ipad would stop it from working. We have never had this issue. Have you tried to re-connect the pen, restart the Bluetooth, re-start the Ipad?

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[rearrange artboards]

Hi Gorex,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

It would be a lot easier if you attach the file and give us an exact scenario so we can try to replicate. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[pan & zoom problem ( with Wacom Intuos Pro)]

@Kook Kai , What is the exact model of your Wacom?

[Problem exporting on Affinity Photo for iPad]

Hi @stephane lapointe,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

The export dialogue will only have pixel as an image, in digital format, is formed from pixels. The "size in inch" only matters if you print the photo, and this would be driven by the DPI. If you need the image to have a set size in inch, you will have to "resize" the document. File>Resize> Tap on the right arrow, change the units to Inches, set your DPI and tap on the left arrow again to set your size. Bear in mind that this will have an impact on your resolution as well. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[copying to layers]

Hi @AffinityDesigner2018,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Copy-paste will save the layers just fine. What is your workflow? Check below. 

 

 

[Remap Keys for Selection]

HI @mallard express,

 

Welcome to the forums. You're right, Affinity does not support fn key in the shortcuts. You will have to find another way of setting up the shortcuts. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Unsharpen Screenshots]

That's normal. It really depends on your screen resolution, windows scaling and the zoom size. Bear in mind that you're not truly seeing pixel per pixel unless you're zoomed at 100 %. Anything zoom values below 100% would compress/average pixels into one target pixel. 

[Unsharpen Screenshots]

Hi @Morrich_Dilemma,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

The image may look sharper or blurred depending on the zoom level, and this behaviour is absolutely normal as you're fitting in more source pixels in just one output pixel. Let's take for example a photo 1920x1080 and a monitor with 1920x1080. If you look at it with 50% zoom, it's going to look blurry as instead of mapping 1 pixel of your image for 1 pixel on your screen, it's mapping 4 pixels from your image to only 1 on your screen. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Export to TIFF]

@Calum i have tried several apps including MS Paint and the image opens just fine. I'm pretty sure the issue would be on Sequator side. Sorry

[pan & zoom problem ( with Wacom Intuos Pro)]

Hi @Kook Kai, 

 

Is that on Affinity Photo or Designer? Windows or Mac? Public release or Beta? 

 

Thanks,

Gabe.
