I just downloaded Affinity Photo for my 3 month old iPad. I opened a photograph that I am trying to rid of some dust and scratches but none of the tools within Affinity photo appear to be working. I tap on the tool with my Apple Pencil (the paint tool for example) and then drag my pencil over the photo and nothing happens. Same result with ALL of the other tools on the left hand side of the application. Same result when using my fingers. I have also toggled the gestures only setting on and off but nothing works. 

What am I doing wrong? I will admit that I am new to Affinity Photo but I used Photoshop in the past with no problems to remove dust/scratches to my photos…so I know a bit. 

 

Thanks!

Look at the layers panel, if it says ‘image” on a layer select the layer then rasterise it first. Alternatively, add a pixel layer above and for each tool you use make sure on the context toolbar across the bottom that the tool is set to ‘current layer and below’. This way you can fix scratches etc non-destructively.

Welcome to the forums @Philantos

What do you mean, exactly, by “Nothing (nothing!) works”?

Once you launch the application, what are you trying to do?

Does the application not let you interact with it at all in any way, forcing you to close it, or do only some things work, or do only some things work the way you expected them to, or something else?

Which specific things aren’t working and how are you trying to use them?
