IPad AP: drawing a circle


Recommended Posts

Hi, maybe it isn’t  possible but I just like to know and I hope I can explain what I’m looking for: I like to know if it is possible, just the way I draw a straight line with the pen tool and put the Width at 5 pt. to make a circle with the Elliptical Marquee Tool (persona selections) and do the same. So it will be still a circle when I deselect the dot line. (To make a circle with the pen tool is to difficult.) I work at the iPad Pro with Affinity Photo.

I use the Ellipse Tool, drag and place second finger on screen, if dragging Ellipse Tool with finger.  Makes a perfect circle.

Thank you for the tip! I didn’t know this one but it was not what I ment. In the meantime I figuret out how to draw a circle with a thin line. I use the shape tool and choose for donut. If I put the hole radius to 98 I get the line thickness I want! (I used Photoshop for ages but that doesn’t work at the iPad and now it so much fun to work with AP.) Thanks a lot everyone!

I made Ellipse with black or any color desired and added another Ellipse layer inside the first, white scaled to get the line.  Strange but works.  I could not find how to make the second Ellipse transparent.

You can set the width of any line using the pen tool width, including a circle.

Is there also a way to adjust the pressure curve, just like the desktop version?

Unfortunately only in Designer on iPad do you have the stroke studio
