wmskaggs Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 For some reason, I am unable to access "All Photos" when importing photos on Affinity Photo for iPad. When I select "Import From Photos", the first folder in the upper left corner is "Recents" followed by "Favorites", "Recently Added", "Selfies" and so on. Don't see a "All Photos" option to access to all of my photos that are present in the Photos App on my iPad. Currently, I am using iCloud Photos for storage of my photos and also have the "Download and Keep Originals" option selected under settings on my iPad. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Cecil Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Same; however, if I click recents and scroll down all my photos are available. I don’t know if this is just how it was designed or bug not to include the Photo tab. It seems Affinity 1.7.3 and macOS updates are creating many unusual conflicts.

DM1 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I think 'Recent' just presents ALL photos in chronological order. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Staff Gabe Posted November 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi all, @DM1 is correct. Recent is "All photos" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmskaggs Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Yes, I see this now. It was confusing because when clicking on "Recent Photos", the sequence of the photos displayed is different than from what occurs when I click on "all photos" in the iPad Photos app. Any explanation for this?

Staff Gabe Posted November 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2019 All our menus are "most recent on the top", so that menu is in line with the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllAppsUser Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 iOS 14 - go to Settings > Affinity Photo. You’ll see the Photos app listed (I did). It said “selected" next to Photos (meaning Af Photo only has access to ‘selected photos’). Touching that, took me to other options, including “all photos" = job done ✅ . Each time you update your iOS, I think this might need re-establishing. Or at least a major update (13 to 14). That’s what happened to me. I accidentally ended up with "selected photos only" in the settings after updating my iOS. That, or I did something, which is possible.
