Oddilium Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 7, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 7, 2017 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.

Oddilium Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 7, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 7, 2017 Is saving an Affinity file back to the iCloud Affinity folder going to be made easier soon too? We are aware of these workflow issues. This is just the first release. We will do our best to refine and improve the app as we move forward.

Oddilium Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 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.

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.

JodyC Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JodyC Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi, Walt, I see how to change the width of the line and its properties (dotted, alignment, etc.) but not how to change to shape (pressure profile) of the line on Affinity Photo 2 for iPad.

walt.farrell Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 As I said, change the General pulldown to Pressure. Tap it and choose, or scroll it right/left.

JodyC Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 You are right, Walt. I didn't see the second tab. Thanks. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
