Extensions

           Hello Everyone

On my iMac Desk Top ,when editing my pictures in Aperture or Apples Photos .I use the Safari extensions option ( in which I have Affinity Photo ) By clicking on this I have instant access to all of Affinity Photo.From there I than click on the Perspective control icon and quickly correct any WA distortion in this photo.

This I think would really help in the iPad version of Affinity Photo and speed up the task at hand.At present one has to click on the filter icon and scroll down almost to the bottom to get to the PP site.

   Can this option be added in the iPad version? Any oppinion?  Greetings :John Basso

You can create an IOS 12 shortcut which gets you directly into AP via the sharing icon from photos.

You can shorten the scroll list by going direct to the distortions group.

                 Hello Paul.

Thank you ever so much for your very helpful reply  I copied your Run Shortcut screen photo on my desktop . I am now successfully using your short cuts for Perspective Control in my 12.9'' iPad Pro. My images contain a  lot of tall buildings down town Toronto where I live,and PP is therefore is an important tool to make the photos shot with my Leica and iPhoneX  are mostly taken in 6:9 and  WA mode so as to get as much of the subject matter into my image.  Many Regards: John Basso.

@Paul Mudditt I am curious about two things from your video:

1. At about 0:08 seconds, above the Shortcuts item, "Hide" appears. I can't get that to happen, nor do I know what it is supposed to mean. Any help with that?

2. I am just now trying to learn about the Shortcuts app in iOS 12, so I am curious about your thoughts on if or how your "Copy to Affinity" shortcut could be adapted so I could pass multiple selected photos to Affinity Photo in one shortcut. The "Select Photos" shortcut with "Select multiple" enabled as a first step doesn't seem to work with any combination of "Repeat with Each" or other script steps I have tried -- it always opens the first selected photo in Affinity Photo, but not the others. Any ideas about how to get that to work?

1. I simply pressed too long on the icon, if I’d touched hide, the icon would vanish and I would have had to add it back in again using the three dots at the far right of that row.

2. I will look into it.

Re point 2.

I find the easiest way to pass multiple selected photos from Camera roll  to AP is to open AP, create an empty folder to hold all the photos, (not essential but keeps things tidy), with AP open at the empty folder, drag up on Springboard, Select iOS Photos icon and drag up onto the screen. Navigate to, and select all your desired photos, then drag and drop them across into the empty project folder. All the selected photos will then be copied across to the AP project folder.

Thanks! I had already tried pressing & holding on the icon for around 4 or 5 seconds, but still no 'Hide' popup appeared. I eventually figured out that it appears after lifting my finger, but it only seems to work sometimes. Still trying to figure out why. :35_thinking:

Thanks for that, but I am curious about whether it is possible to use the new Shortcuts feature to pass multiple photos to Affinity Photo (or for that matter to Affinity Designer). The "Select Photos" shortcut with "Select multiple" enabled as a first step automatically launches the Photos app if necessary & allows me to choose multiple photos from the camera roll, an album, etc. Following that with a "Repeat with Each" step that gets the name of each photo in turn & speaks it works fine, so I know the repeat loop part works, but the tricky part is trying to get more than the first selected photo to be passed to the Affinity app.

It only works on the icons that can be hidden, the IOS supplied icons can’t be hidden since they have no on/off setting when you look inside the ... more icon. So I only see a different behaviour on those icons.
