IOS 11.3 and affinity Photo

[DM1]

I am still on 11.2.6 and would like to hear from people who have updated their iPads to iOS 11.3 general release. There appeared to be some issues with the earlier 11.3 betas and Affinity Photo. I like to keep iOS up to date but don't wish to create issues with AP.

Hi @DM1 , 

 

Most our Office Ipads run 11.3. Can you be more specific about the issue?

 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hi Gabe, I'm on 11.2.6 and not having any issues. There were a number of older posts concerning AP crashing which 'may' have been attributed to those people running early 11.3 betas.

Before installing the latest 11.3 general release I simply want to confirm that people who have updated, are not having issues with using AP on iOS 11.3 as I am not having any issues on 11.2.6 and would delay updating if there were issues. Easy to update with Apple, not so easy to go back

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using iOS 11.3 for several days and haven’t noticed any issues so far.

Thanks Alfred. Gabe says they are also using it in the office so I think I'll let it update and fingers crossed, all will be well.

Yes we reported problems in the 11.3 beta but they were all fixed for the gm release.

Thanks Paul. I bit the bullet and updated. All good so far.

By the way, I saw a neat 'trick' on tube where filters are applied to a pixel image and then 'inverted' in channel selection. Filter acts like a mask has been applied and allows you to paint (black/white) to specific areas where you wish to apply the filter effect. I know there are other ways to achieve this but I was surprised that inverting filters worked this way.

Yes I think I may have watched a similar video quite a while back, quite a convoluted method of inverting a pixel layer. I could have sworn I’d made an INVERT PIXEL LAYER macro at some point to reduce it down to a single step. Just on my way out for some beer and a meal with my wife up to Newcastle, I’ll have another go later and add it to my macro file if it works.
