[Affinity Photo for iPad - 1.6.3 (Beta 5)]

Hey Andy,

 

Working on the next composite, although it feels a lot more stable and no crashes, so far. I still face some similar issues.

 

When I click refine after my selection, there is no progress bar. The blue outline in the 2nd image is the space shuttle, it just moved a few seconds later. Multiple layers, cut-outs and effects seems to make it really slow....

[Why can I not do this?]

No worries. Glad I could help.

[Why can I not do this?]

Hi Mike,

 

Unless I misunderstood the question, you can use the Pen Tool to create your points, then once closed, in the context tool bar choose selection and it will make a selection based on the shape you've drawn out.

[Inpainting on Image Edges]

 Maybe there is a square selection to be content-aware filled? Can you help?

 

Thanks, Bernd

 

 

If you use the rectangular marquee tool, make your selection, then go to Edit in the menu bar and choose Inpaint. 

 

*This option is in Photo on the desktop, I've not come across this option on iPad, I mention this as you've posted in the iPad questions section.

[Scaling line weight with graphic?]

I'm so use to Designer that I forgot that it exist in Photo, desktop version. Interesting that there isn't a studio panel in Photo on the desktop for that. Not that I would need it as I would use Designer...

 

Anyway, no... just created a shape on Mac a with a stroke and sent over to iPad and couldn't edit the stoke scale, I can change the colour. Maybe that's coming in a future update?

[Share file in Affinity Format between iPad and Mac]

Hey Nikos,

 

 

You can choose 'Save a copy' from the document menu and save a copy to iCloud to open on Mac, it will duplicate, so you'll have one on iPad and the other in iCloud. I know this is something the team are working on (syncing files between devices), but for now this is the way to get your .afphoto file from iPad to Mac and Mac to iPad, it just means managing manually until a solution is provided and iOS11 arrives with the new files app (which may help)

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Yeeeoww,

 

There isn't a 'scale with object' in Photo, you're going to need Designer for that, once they release it for iPad or use the desktop version. Unless I'm missing something, the only scale with I've seen is under the layer FX studio.

Only a few years on the forum and still not worked out how to upload images correctly.... 

[Survivor]

Nah,

 

Just had trouble uploading... I have a 15inch screen so I normally resize to around 1100px width so it can be viewed without scrolling, but the quality ends up being so bad. SO, I upload high res but too big for the screen...

​Another composite created in Affinity Photo for iPad, made up of about 7 images, went really dark on this one for some reason!

 

 

*Edit: I've updated the image, this is version 3, I've made a few edits to the original

[Selections Persona]

Thanks Miguel,

 

Worked out on the latest project which was crashing every few minutes, that when working on a comp I have to open up each image in its own project, make my selection and refine then add to the main project, it all appears to work then... I normally would open all images in on project. 

 

Also noticed that the projects temporarily disappear when coming out of a project and going back to the home screen...

 

 

[Selections Persona]

Hey!

 

 

Lovin' some of these new features, but still having issues with selections being really slow and crashing when choosing refine, it happens the first time round, after the crash and I repeat the selection, refine works , although extremely slow. 

 

Inpainting brush is also extremely slow on very minor edits... and once the selection and refinement has been made there is a delay of about 10 or so seconds when moving that object around...

 

I've not experienced any changes of the above since the launch of 1.6.2

 

 

Thanks,

[MAC - MS licence]

Hi Windmill,

 

 

Individual licences are required for each operating system.

[Buying I n AppStore on Mac, but the purchase don’t transfer to my iPad]

Ok, that makes sense.

 

Are you on the iOS 11 BETA then for your iPad? If so that could be a reason since the App store has been redesigned. Anything to do with app purchases from Apple has to be dealt with them directly. Hope you manage to get this resolved.

[Buying I n AppStore on Mac, but the purchase don’t transfer to my iPad]

Hi Manuzark.

 

I'm curious as to why you went via iTunes on Mac and not directly to the app store on your iPad to make your purchase. In any case in iTunes and the store section on the right hand side is account, if you click it will show the Apple ID being used. If you are sure they are both the same then click on support in the same section or go to getsupport.apple.com for Apple to look into this for you.

 

Your purchases on iTunes should show up on your iPad under the purchased section.

[Creating Arrows]

What is the best way to create an arc arrow in AD? I used the brush tool one of the forum participants posted but they take forever to make them smooth and perfectly rounded. They never look clean. Would love this option built in and easy...

 

You could use the donut shape tool and adjust the start/end angle and add a triangle as the arrowhead.

Allan, fantastic! Unusual subjects superimposed so you can't tell where they join. Beautiful!

 

 

Thanks. I like creating these unusual and surreal comps.  

[Taken]

Thanks,

 

The great thing about art is that it's open to interpretation. 

 

 

I like the name 'The Returned', sounds like a TV show...

[Curves feature missing?]

Thank you delicious monkey!

 

:lol:

 

Glad it's sorted, this also confused me when I first used the app. I'm sure they are open to suggestions.

[Curves feature missing?]

Hey JW85,

 

The presets will only appear when you create them by clicking on the + button as already mentioned. 

 

Currently, you're under that section, if you go back to the 'Adjustments' category and scroll down, select curves you can then make the needed adjustments and create a preset by clicking on the + button.

 

Hope this helps.

Here's another, created using Affinity Photo for iPad... made up of 5 images.

 

Seriously, why is this so addictive!

[Taken]

Here is one I'm calling 'Taken', created on Affinity photo for iPad. Made up of 4 or so images. I've not spent much time using Photo lately due to working on the books in Designer but the iPad version makes it so much more fun especially when using Apple Pencil.

[Modifier Keys]

I agree. Would love to see modifier keys. I have the 9.7 version and I hold with one hand, when I add a shape and try to constrain I need to use two hands. Would be great to tap shift key to lock and then drag shape all with one hand using the pencil.

Nice one Andy! 

[Affinity as plugin to CS6?]

Hi frpsx2,

 

Your topic title 'Affinity as plugin to CS6' sounds like you want Affinity to work as a plug-in for CS6, do you mean you would like Topaz and OnOne as plug-ins for Affinity Photo?

 

I'm sure there is a thread or two somewhere on here discussing what plug-ins are compatible and what the team are working on.
