NotMyFault Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Old issue on new function: UI elements cut off on bottom. so much area wasted above (still able to change blend mode of mask which has no effect. Remove please. Same with layer opacity, blend ranges etc) At least they added a scroll bar - but when you work with compound masks this makes it barely usable vs. desktop. loukash 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps. My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While agreeing with comments regarding better use of menu realestate, (why waste space showing unnecessary setting controls), does rotating your iPad to Portrait mode give you better access to desired Compound settings? It should provide more space for the longer menus, making it more usable. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Changing the compound mode is a first class function which must be available directly in the layer stack, and not buried behind multiple steps (click … to open menu, scroll down, click multiple times on left/right or click on name and navigate to wanted mode). There are only 3 or 4 relevant modes, we need the same 4 + - / x symbols like Desktop which can be directly clicked in one step. This is the absolut only clickable function we need for compound masks.

Staff Ash Posted March 29, 2023 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hi - thanks for this feedback. In the 2.1 beta we have added new options to the left swipe menu from layers which include changing compound type when the layer in question is a compound. More info in post below. Be great if you wanted to try it - you can sign up to our beta program here. Seneca 1 Quote Managing Director Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
