[Bug with basic brushes]

After looking more in details into it, it seems the basic brushes get some textures from other brushes and I can't remove those textures. Really weird behavior. On ipad pro 2018 by the way.

As you can see in the image below, my basic brush got some textures and I can't remove both of them, only one. It's really annoying and makes the basic brushes unusable. 

Is there a way to reset the brushes to factory setting without having to reinstall the app? Thanks. 

[Bug with basic brushes]

If you change the blending mode on a basic brush and then you reset it, the brush texture changes and there is no way to get back to its original form. I think there is something broken with those brushes on ipad. 

[A faster way to access blending modes?]

Hello, I was wondering if there was an easier access to blending modes on ipad. Cause at the moment, we have to open the brush properties to change it, unless I am mistaken. Have I missed something or if this feature doesn't exist, could you add it as an option for a quicker access directly on the side bar ? Thanks.

If you are on PC. 5kplayer is quite good too.

You can still record your sessions live though, using an airdrop compatible application. You would have the exact timing of what you did as well. 

[Invert pixel selection]

Cool, thanks both of you! 

[Invert pixel selection]

Hi, 

is there a way to invert the lasso selection just like in mac osx? I can't find it on the ipad, thanks. 

[hide ui button doesnt stick]

If the concern is relevant of course, I am not sure resting a hand on the ipad while drawing is good though. It's kind of a bad habit. I suggest trying to keep the hand up as it's the whole arm that draws, not only the fingers. 

[better/faster color picker needed]

On your left hand side, the last icon is a color selector. You just need to drag it to the area where you want to pick the color. It's faster than holding a finger. 

[Copy/Paste from Affinity iPad apps to other apps]

At least I would like an instant file sharing between Designer and Photo so I can modify the perspective on the canvas in photo and then go back to designer in a few swipes. 

[Fantastic Job!]

Yeah, they even managed to have me consider upgrading from pro 10.5 to pro 12.9 with this app. My wallet is screaming but kudos to the devs

[Sharpen/ blur tools]

It can be used for the lasso selection, which is quite a good thing already. As for brushes. the smudge tool can be used to blur things out depending on what the parameters are set to.

Are there sharpen or blur tools on Affinity Designer for iPad?

There is a blur tool. Well at least, you can emulate one. I used it last week. Go to Fx > Gaussian blur. You can apply it to any layer or selection you want. It works great. 

[Crop tool like photoshop]

So there is the cropping into any shape in Affinity Photo? Have to look into it. 

I am new to graphic design so I follow some tutorials and most artists use photoshop. As I didn't know how to describe it well, I used photoshop as an analogy. 

[Crop tool like photoshop]

Thanks but I know how to do this. What I want is a layer which ties the painting together and then if I want to make my layer look like let's say a triangle, then the painting compresses to follow the shape. The cropping tool in photoshop allows that and I was wondering if AD could do it as well. 

[Crop tool like photoshop]

Hello there,

is there a way to get the same effect on cropping as in photoshop, like changing the angles of the window to get more perspective? Cause it seems to be pretty basic. Am I missing some features? I tried also to make a vector layer above my pixel one but I don't know how to tie them up so the pixel one follows the curves of the vector rectangle.Thanks. 

[Question on raster brush hardness]

I am trying to understand how hardness works on raster brushes but I don't see any difference with strokes whether the brush is 0% hardness or 100% hardness. I only see it on the erase tool, one looking softer than the other. Is it supposed to work that way? Thanks. 

[Pixel mode and finger pressed on the screen]

When I am on pixel mode, I want to be able to leave my finger on the screen before starting to move again and finish my stroke. But each time I do that, it brings the color tool and I lose my black color to white as a result. Is there a way to disable the color tool firing on one finger tap? Thanks. 

[Link brush to layer]

Hello, I am new to this forum and to affinity design and I would have a question regarding the ipad version.

It is possible to link a certain brush type with all its parameters to a certain layer? Cause I find it kind of cumbersome to have to remember which brush was on which layer when swapping between them. Thanks.
