Affinity Photo IPad Pen Tool Stroke taper bug


Recommended Posts

Hi there.

 

I have been using the pen tool on Affinity Photo for Mac for a long time and often use the ability to create tapered lines using the pen tool.

 

I cannot see anywhere on the ipad version where I can change the line thicknesses over distance. Am I missing something?

 

Also when I import a file that does have varying vector stroke thicknesses, every shape and line I create in the ipad app afterwards has the exact same line profile which I am powerless to change. Is this a glitch? Or is there a section were I can change this in app?

 

Please help!

Hi Oddilium,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

There's no way to change or create pressure profiles for vector objects in Affinity Photo for iPad in this first release.

It may be implemented later (with the introduction of Designer for iPad eventually) but i don't have yet enough info to ensure if or when this will be implemented at this point.

Hi again. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Shame about that since pretty much EVERYTHING else is in the app, impressively!

 

Oh well.

 

Is saving an Affinity file back to the iCloud Affinity folder going to be made easier soon too?

I thought that may be the case- particularly with iOS's new files system round the corner.

 

I have to say full marks for the app, generally though. Must have been a lot of work involved- it's clearly epic sized and will be extremely useful.

Where are the pressure profiles for Affinity Photo for the iPad?

For Photo 2, with a line selected and the Pen Tool active, tap the stroke width control in the top bar. Then set the General pulldown to Pressure.

Yes, I know that. But on AP for desktop, in the stroke settings for the pen tool, there is a pressure profile that allows you to adjust the shape of your stroke--for example, small at the beginning and end and larger in the middle. Does AP for iPad have that?

Yes, where I said it is. (For Photo 2, at least. I have not checked Photo V1, if that's what you're using.)

As I said, change the General pulldown to Pressure. Tap it and choose, or scroll it right/left.
