vector Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I love Affinity Designer and, if Apple's iPad Pro and Apple Pencil promo videos are to be believed, these products could be the perfect companion for Serif users when they're released in November. Is it possible to use an iOS device as an input for AD? If so, what's the timescale. davemac2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 11, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi vector, We will be launching iOS versions of our software later. Please check the FAQ for more info. MattP (one of the developers) already released a video from an earlier version/concept of Affinity Designer created during the development of the Mac versions. davemac2015 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks for the link MEB. Using fingers is great but, as a traditional illustrator, I'm really interested in the possibility of using the 'Apple Pencil' as a more precise, intuitive way of creating vector graphics. Obviously, I don't expect Serif to have any answers at this early stage but this could be a really compelling alternative to Wacom's, and other, products. As much as I like using Wacoms, they've always left me wanting. Vanilla iPads with illustration apps don't cut the mustard. An iPad Pro, Apple Pencil driving Affinity apps promises to be an indispensable artist's tool and as portable as a sketchbook. Serif could steal a march on its rivals here. B.T.W. Thanks for the flourishing Affinity suite - an amazing achievement and much appreciated. LilleG and davemac2015 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipV Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Affinity on the Pro looks like it would be a lot better then on the 10" iPad. The screen is so small on that iPad that the side panels annoyingly keep closing whenever you start to draw. It is unfortunate that some of the iPhone features didn't make it over though. It seems like the way you can hold down on a button and get a drop down menu would be useful on the iPad Pro as well. ronnyb 1 Quote New Internet Book Project | Another New Website Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGueurle Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 John Gruber on his blog posted a link to a review/comparison between the iPad Pro/Pencil vs. the Wacom Cintiq. http://www.lindadong.com/blog//apple-pencil-vs-wacom-cintiq For those who can afford to buy the iPad Pro/Pencil kit, there's definitely a goldmine for Affinity right there. :) davemac2015 1 Quote Affinity Designer 1.6 Affinity Photo 1.6.6 Canon EOS 50D iMac 27" 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 32 GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboydoug Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Howdy MEB, I've done a little search for iOS info, I've checked the FAQ link you provided above too but other than running around in a circle I haven't found anything useful. I'm interested to know if any progress has been made to make Photo available for the iPad Pro and when? Thanks Quote You can call me Cowboydoug, you can call me Doug, you can even call me Honey but don't call me Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboydoug Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 P.S. I caught a brief glimpse of someone mentioning Wacom Cintque... Are the affinity products able to work with Cintque 's?

Staff MEB Posted October 30, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi cowboydoug, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) That's because there isn't any info about Affinity Photo on iPad at this point (that i'm aware). Yes, Affinity products support Wacom Cintiq. cowboydoug 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo.limoncelli Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 P.S. I caught a brief glimpse of someone mentioning Wacom Cintque... Are the affinity products able to work with Cintque 's? Super compatible and both work like a charm. I'm currently using AP and AD with a Cintiq 27QHD and 13HD (on sale if anybody interested...). If you want some tips to configure it just ask ;) Quote The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
