Minus44 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The desktop version of Affinity Photo has a series of helpful Move tool modifiers available in the toolbar. Which of these are also available in the iPad version either as a button, a menu option, or as a multi-touch modifier? Enable Transform Origin (I'm particularly interested in this one) Hide Selection while Dragging Show Alignment Handles Transform Objects Separately Cycle Selection Box (attached screenshot is from Affinity Photo for Mac 1.7.2.151) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus44 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just now, DM1 said: No, but they are available in Designer for iPad. That's precisely what made me ask the question. They've been implemented so well in Designer for iPad. You'd expect similar functionality in Photo, at least when using the Shapes tool.

Dan C Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hi Ulysses As DM1 has mentioned these are only currently available in Designer for iOS - the exact reason for this I'm currently uncertain, however I've requested a response from our QA/Dev team and will hopefully have a better explanation shortly!

Minus44 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thanks very much, @Dan C! It would be great to see these come to Photo. There are many reasons to include them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 According to our QA team it appears these have been accidentally omitted from the latest version of AP iOS and so I'm logging this as a big with our development team now. I'll respond here in due course with any pertinent information! Minus44, Paul Mudditt, DM1 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I cannot multi select easily without this context menu, and I would also like to be able to use the rotate center tool. The lack of this panel is strange to me, since Photo on Mac has it. I like using the rest of the app though! Edited November 10, 2019 by Talio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi Talio, Welcome to the forums Unfortunately there's been no update as of yet on the dev report, I will bump this now and request a response asap - I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talio Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 That’d be great, thanks.

Pierrick Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I bought Photo on iPad, current version 1.10.5. There’s still no Move modifier. It’s an odd omission, given how well implemented it is on Designer for iPad and Designer/Photo Desktop. The Transform Origin and Transform Objects are powerful tools. But for Illustration and matte painting, the Hide Selection While Dragging is cruelly missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
