Is there a “smoothing” setting in affinity designer for the iPad?


Recommended Posts

Because of a tremor I’ve developed, it is very hard for me to draw anymore (I had to retire from my work about 5 years ago, because of that and other health issues). I’d like to try to get back into it and hopefully do some work again. Is there a “smoothing” setting in affinity designer for the iPad? Is there a demo version I could try myself?

Hi Dan, sorry to hear about the health issues. No smoothing as such but it does have a stabiliser setting that may help (rope and Windows stabiliser) when drawing or painting. The effect with and without stabiliser using a shaky drawing motion is shown below. Hope this helps a little. 🙂

Pretty sure no demo version available  for iPad but maybe is for desktop. Unfortunately you have just missed out on affinity’s 50% discount on both which ended recently.

M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB   lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Affinity Design 1.10.5 
Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2 and betas.

You could try using a combination of the Pen tool, and then Corner tool to smooth out desired points. The Pen tool is handy for getting a continuous, smooth curve
