Dybkjær Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) When I place an image in Affinity Designer on iPad, and select a photo from iPad Photos, it gives me the original version, not the displayed, current version. I note that this is raised as an error in Affinity Photos in April 2018. A quick test shows that is still an issue. I place the new topic here, because it is also an issue in AD. The original question suggests the option of being able to choose between the original and the current version. That is fine, even if it is more useful in Photo than in Designer. To help understand why I would like the current version: I might have made edits I do not want to do again, or cannot do, in Designer. While diagramming origami, a common technique for 3D steps is to take a quick photo, crop/skew/etc. in iPad Photos (which is very good for doing that quickly), place the image in AD, use it for drawing/shadowing support, and then throw it out again. There are workarounds, obviously, but they tend to be slower. Like cropping (place inside) in AD (which still loses any other edits), or saving the image to iCloud and place it from there (which requires extra steps, and creates yet another file I need to remember to throw away). PS edit: Found the efficient flow for the second point: Just share as "Copy" in Photos, and then past in AD. Simple. Edited November 4, 2019 by Dybkjær Found more efficient workaround.
