Equirectangular projection on layer group or multiple layers together

Hi,

 

I just purchased Affinity Photo for iPad and it looks very nice indeed. I was hoping I would be able to do 360 panoramic paintings with it and I can but I downloaded a perspective grid for that and I'd like it to be on top moving together with the painting when I pan around so that I would not have to paint over it. I hope that makes sense. Maybe this is already possible, please let me know if so, I couldn't figure it out.

 

Thanks

Did you ever found out how to do this? I've been looking for a solution to do the exact same thing

Hi @JaCantu,

Welcome to the forums

All of the Grids in Affinity Photo will draw on top of the Equirectangular projected layer - you can enable Grids from the Document menu (the page icon in the top left of the canvas UI).

Is this the type of overlay you're looking for?

Thank you Dan , 

I actually need to apply equirectangular projection to a group so that I can create overlaid drawings on top of existing Panorama pictures. So actually the issue is not the grid is having 2 or more equirectangular layers synced together. 

Best,

Thanks for confirming that, unfortunately 'Projections' will only work on singular Pixel layers - meaning after you create your group you would need to rasterise this into a Pixel layer to apply the equirectangular projection, which would remove the 'independent' nature of 2 separate layers - my apologies!
