Squarebear Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 I know a few of these have been addressed elsewhere, but my initial thoughts on playing with this very good program. 1. Deselect is hidden away, it takes two clicks. Such an incredibly common action should appear in the menu bar for the Selection portion 2. Clicking the edge goes to full screen, hiding all the tools and such. However, it is so easy to hit this when trying to use one of those tools/boxes. I find myself constantly frustrated by how easily this happens. 3. Why no undo/redo button available? When working with the Pencil, having to switch to finger taps for this feature is not ideal. I'm so used to Procreate and other tools that have this along with the gestures, and the lack is glaring to me when I work in Photo. The rest, I believe, is teething pains and learning curves. I'm really pleased overall. Quote
Squarebear Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 I have to add, Adobe made such a huge deal over bring Photoshop to the iPad without even coming CLOSE to having a full-featured program such as this. Quote

The tools only disappear for me if I tap on the ’Hide UI’ button. 3. Tap on the ‘Preferences’ gearwheel in the top right-hand corner of the home screen, tap on ‘Interface’ on the next screen and then enable ‘Show Undo and Redo buttons’. Tap ‘Done’ to return to the home screen. Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)

And i find that sometimes the press hold reads as a tap, maybe something to do with iPad Pro responsiveness issues (lotsa discussion on this one in Apple boards) Quote 2. Clicking on which edge? The tools only disappear for me if I tap on the ’Hide UI’ button Don’t know why, but I often get the hide UI if click near the top edge with the pencil. On further experimentation it seems to happen with pencil but not finger. If I tap either if the first two top icons (the two with ellipses) and then click again on another of the icons this happens. So as you learn and search around for different things, it happens. A LOT for me. Quote 3. Tap on the ‘Preferences’ gearwheel in the top right-hand corner of the home screen, tap on ‘Interface’ on the next screen and then enable ‘Show Undo and Redo buttons’. Tap ‘Done’ to return to the home screen. bless you Alfred 1 Quote
Squarebear Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 As for the UI, turning off “automatically hide UI” solved it. So we’re down to the deselect. Would love to have a single click option on that. Alfred and Markio 2 Quote
