Placing a photo from the library on iPad

[Rob Charlton]

Accidentally posted my question twice. So sorry. I’ll get the hang of this. In the meantime, I’ll try to figure out how to delete one of them.

I’m fairly new to Affinity Photo, still trying to figure out some of the basics. I’ve come across an issue I haven’t been able to figure out.

When I want to place a photo on a project I’m working on, sometimes I am given a choice to choose from a small number that appears to be somehow connected to the app. I’ve included a screen shot below. Or, choose from all the photos on my IPad. The shot below does not include an option that allows me to choose from my entire library of photos on my iPad. Sometimes the option shows up and other times it doesn’t. I would like to know why that option doesn’t come up every time. It’s very frustrating when I can’t get to my photo library to choose the photo I want. I am sure I’m doing the same thing every time, but too often, it just shows a handful of photos to choose from and not my complete library...with no option to go to the library. 

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob

Could you try going the other way, start in Photos select 1, copy it, and paste into Designer?
