[Designer / Publisher / Photo Version 2 IPad]

I have seen this also. One thing I have been doing to get around it is saving a selection to my own assets category and then choosing the asset in the other app. But, it sure seems like we should be able to copy to clipboard and use in the other Affinity apps. 

 

[Node tool with Apple Pencil problem]

I keep having a problem where one node I want to move will not let me select it to move it. Gets frustrating. I can select the other nodes just fine, but not the particular one I want to move. I end up having to change out of Nodes tool to something else and then come back into Nodes tool and then I can usually select that node and move it. This has happened to me quite a few times. 

 

[Aff-Designer iPad crash using tools]

This has happened to me on every project I have done in Affinity 2 Designer and Photo. I am finding myself afraid to draw a new shape as it may crash. I have lost work numerous times now and I am really fed up with doing work over gain. If I have a shape I already created, I try to copy and paste or duplicate the shape, then reuse the new copy as I am afraid to try to draw a new shape and crash the app. Ot doesn’t seem to matter which shape it is. 
I’m about ready to give up and go back to Adobe. I can’t keep losing work and redoing it. I have reduced the time for auto-saving to lose less work, but still it is very, very frustrating. I was cursing up a storm last night as it crashed in middle of working on something. Had to apologize to my wife for my outburst. 
Crash also happens after deleting many layers one at a time. I never know when it will happen and how many deletes before it crashes. So, I get afraid to keep deleting items. Some projects have hundreds or even more layers and I sometimes need to delete layers to try to clean some things up and organize layers better. 
 

[iPad Designer V2.0.1.2 random app crash when deleting objects sequentially]

I experienced the same problem over the weekend crashing many times after deleting many layers. I have lost lots of work due to the numerous crashes in Designer and Photo v2 on iPad. Been working on a complex vector drawing with over 1500 layers. Deleting many layers not needed anymore as new layers above have superseded them now. 

[A few vector images done with Designer]

Here are a few vector images I did with Designer.
The penguin I did based on a ceramic penguin light we have.

The yellowish bird was something my mom asked me to do that replicated a ceramic bird she has.

My tea mug.

A hummingbird I saw a picture of for reference.

A medicine bottle with spray hose in it. 
 

 

[Mortars and pestles, scale in designer]

Shadows got messed up on initial post. Not sure why. Anyway, I added a large border with very subtle flasks and some basic element symbols. I had this printed on 11x17 Acrylic to hang on the wall. 
 

[Designer iPad v2.0.1.2 - Reverse gradient not doing anything]

I designer for iPad 2, I created a gradient and the reverse gradient button would not do anything. I had to manually change the colors.

[Scene from Cades Cove, Smoky Mountains, vector with pixel layer brush work]

Something converted the colors and made it darker and more contrast than what I actually have in designer. Darn it. 
 

[Scene from Cades Cove, Smoky Mountains, vector with pixel layer brush work]

I took a photo of this particular homestead in Cades Cove at Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, USA. My photo looked very dark and dull as it was quite foggy and misty. I created this scene as a vector drawing, then added brush work in Pixel layers. 
I took a couple of liberties to make it brighter and less foggy. My wife wanted smoke from chimney of building on far right and so I added some. These homesteads here are not active and would not have any smoke. 
 

[My pet African Grey's face, Pooh (don't expect too much!)]

What you have looks really good. I know it is much work. 
 

[Transform panel too tall]

I see same issue on my iPad Pro, 12.9, iOS 16.1.

 

 

[Replacing and image stored in files crashes the app]

Yes, same issue for me as well.

 

Just wanted to add that replacing from Apple Photos worked fine, but not from Files.

[Diner logo and wall jukebox, designer vector]

Thanks @dannyg9 for the comments. Yes, I did this a while ago and since I took the photo at an angle and I used that as my reference, I got stuck trying to get perspective of things correct. I tried my best with the rotation and skew transformation settings, but just couldn’t get things exactly right. I think if I did it again in v2 with the warp perspective, it could be easier and better. I put a lot of hours into these projects. I did it for fun and another step in learning. 
 

[Diner logo and wall jukebox, designer vector]

Here is a screen shot of close up view of song cards inside the jukebox. These were the songs and artists in the jukebox I took a photo of, so I just used the same ones. The metal bars at bottom for rotating the sheets of songs available. 
 

[Diner logo and wall jukebox, designer vector]

Wife and I went to a 50’s style diner (Bel Air) and they had a wall jukebox (brought back old memories of playing music on jukeboxes) at our booth. I took a photo of it and their logo signs. I thought I would try creating vector images of their logo and the wall jukebox. I put all the song text inside the jukebox. The letter and number keys really were not perfectly the same. The cards inside the jukebox with the song titles were in rough shape (I didn’t try to duplicate that). I then created a counter with stools and root beer floats and a neon style Diner sign to add something extra.

Hope somebody likes it. 

[Pizza Menu in Publisher, used photo and designer also]

Ha, ha! I don’t mind the critique, @Giovanni Pietri. I had no say in the design at all. I just created what was already designed by someone else as they provided. It is also very difficult to change if the menu changes much at all. Could cause a major do-over and headache for sure. I just posted this to show some of what Publisher can do along with photo and designer. Something I haven’t seen from anyone else. It actually doesn’t look too bad when printed and folded. Many other pizza/sub style businesses in the area here, have menus that look very similar in design. 

 

[Photo restoration, colorization, AP v1]

Thank you @AITCH I appreciate it. 
 

[Photo restoration, colorization, AP v1]

Nice job @dannyg9. I had to redraw some of the white stripes on navy guy above and I know from others I have done about trying to fix areas like your plaid jackets can be tedious. Having to do tile walls and floors for example too or rug patterns, etc.

 

[Pizza Menu in Publisher, used photo and designer also]

Thank you so much @dannyg9 as this was a lot of work as you know. Publisher worked great as well as use of photo and designer for their parts. 
 

[Missing all raster brushes in Photo and Designer v2]

Hey stojames,

I saw this once in the months and months of beta testing and we could not reproduce or work out what happened. However, it has just occured to me that this may be a fault with V1 and V2 sharing a common folder.

My advise would be to open V1, save everything manually from the Home screen to safe location and remove it and also V2 and try a fresh install of V2. Simply resetting V2 or removing it won't bring those brushes back.

Well, I bit the bullet and removed my v1 apps. This caused the v2 apps to redownload and reinstall the brushes again, but they still did not show up. So, I deactivated my license and removed the v2 apps again. I downloaded and installed just the v2 apps (not the v1 apps for now), I reinstalled some of the brush sets and they are now showing up and working. I then imported my Frankentoon brushes and they appeared okay now too. I imported then a couple of other brush sets I use and they also work fine right now. I am kind of concerned about reinstalling the v1 apps and causing a problem all over again. I will hold off and see if I can just use the new v2 versions.

Bottom line was removing the v1 apps and the v2 apps, then reinstall the v2 apps only and reinstall brushes. So far, okay. Raster brushes appearing and working in both Photo and Designer now.

I guess you can see that these are to be folded as a trifold and the coupons part gets folded on it’s own little part, so kind of 4 parts really.

Looks good

 

It is those you have to master

Here is an example of one beyond my skills. My grandmother in a garden attached below. 
I don’t know where the garden was or what it looks like. My mom didn’t know either. Anyway, some are beyond my capability.

 

[Photo restoration, colorization, AP v1]

Thanks. Well, some have parts of photo missing where surface of photo was torn away by tape or something else so I don’t know what person should look like or surrounding area should look like. I try hard though on what I can. 
 

 

[Photo restoration, colorization, AP v1]

I took a photo restoration class a while ago. Class used photoshop, but I did all my work with Affinity Photo v1. I have a damaged image provided in the class here. I did my restoration work on it and then I tried colorizing it on my own (not an assignment for this image). I have been restoring quite a few old family photos. Some are too damaged for me to do anything with. 
 

[Photo manipulation with Photo, AP, panorama]

I had 2 photos of castle in Varazdin Croatia. I used Affinity Photo v1 to stitch the 2 photos together. I removed myself and a friend and had to reconstruct part of lawn and walkway. I took liberty of removing someone in red from doorway. AP worked great to make the 2 photos into a single photo of the full castle.
