thrush Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 thank you for that, they are in designer on my Mac. is there a reason they are not included on the ipad version, and how do i dodge and burn without them ? I like them for subtle shading. best regards Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a desktop so was unaware these tools were available on desktop version of Designer. Now I feel cheated! 😀 You could try creating an adjustment layer, for example a curves adjustment then mask out the areas where you don’t want it to apply. Alternatively, you could create a new layer and fill it with 50% gray, then set its blend mode to “overlay” Paint directly on this layer with a white or black brush to brighten and darken the regions of the image you want, respectively. Other than that, a post in the Features thread requesting devs to add it to the designer toolset in the iPad. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

thrush Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 You will have to excuse me. I'm new to Affinity. I got photo first on my Mac, I liked that so I got Designer for Mac, then I thought it would be useful on the iPad, so i got them both for the pad. The dodge, burn and smudge tools are in all except iPad designer and I thought they were hidden somewhere. I suppose I could try switching the document between Designer and photo to use those tools, Regards Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I feel cheated! 😀 I don’t have a desktop PC, either, but I do have a Windows laptop and I do have the desktop version of Designer. I also feel cheated, because I don’t know where to find the dodge, burn and smudge tools in AD on Windows.

thrush Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 No, they are in designer and photo on my Mac and they are in photo for iPad but not in designer for iPad. On my Mac in designer I can switch between designer persona and pixel persona no problem but on the iPad they're not in either.

prophet Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I have no such tools available in Designer on my Mac (AD 1.9.2, MacOS 10.14.6). I can only get to them from the Pixel Persona. See my "Customize Tools" screenshots: Designer proper vs Pixel Persona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrush Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Mine is the same, on my Mac, O/S big sur, in designer, the dodge and burn are in the pixel persona but not the design persona but it’s not the same on the iPad. regards.
