Gcx Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Newbie here - I've created a rasterized curve shape. I want to place that shape in another app on my iPad (latest iPad pro running latest iOS) - in this case Notability. I don't seem to be able to use the slide over. When I copy the shape and switch app paste doesn't seem available. I've exported the file to my iPad - but don't seem to be able to find that file within another app. It seems like a straightforward task but I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Thank you. Quote
Staff Gabe Posted March 12, 2019 Staff Posted March 12, 2019 Hi @Gcx Welcome to the forums. Once you rasterise a layer, it becomes a Pixel Layer, and it's no longer a curve. The best way to import your file into Notability would be PDF - Ref: https://support.gingerlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/206031287-Importing-Exporting-and-Sharing-Notes-Mac- . Have you tried to export as PDF? Thanks, Gabe. Quote
Gcx Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Thank you Gabriel! So I did some playing about based on your suggestions and found the following. Yes - rasterizing is the trick! Even better - there is a "Share to Notability" function I can switch on, which makes it relatively seamless. Saving as JPEG is bad - because the "remove background" part doesn't work - but saving as a PNG file is great. Ps If you hit Share and then choose "Save Image" which should save it to the iPads Camera Roll - actually Designer just plain crashes, no matter which format you are playing with. So thats not ideal. If you want it on your iPad you can do a Share to Notes. The image is then dropped into the Notes app - which is a fair workaround (although it would be better if it didn't crash). Thanks again for this! Quote
Staff Gabe Posted March 13, 2019 Staff Posted March 13, 2019 If it crashes, it sounds like it does not have access to your Photos Library. Go to the iPad Settings > Affinity Designer > And give it access to Photos. Quote
