bilboudo Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi to all! Today after a long wait (at least for me) should be released iPadOS and I'm wondering, before to risk the update, if the 1.7.2 build of Affinity Photo for iPad is safe from bugs or issues or if I can update to iPadOs safely. This because I'm just happy that the 1.7.2 build fixed the problems raised in the update process from 1.6 to 1.7, and I would like to avoid to back to have this app broken due to compatibility issues with the new iPadOS. Thanks to everyone who will be willing to reply. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted September 24, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi bilboudo, We have a build of 1.7.2 running on iPadOS here in the office and it's been very stable, from the limited time i've spent on the device I'm sure other users who have give iPadOS and Affinity will comment once they see this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurnay Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Estimated if you need an update for the iPad, you have problems with the slider buttons that are at the bottom and also for the corner types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilboudo Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Which kind of problems? are they in every iPad Pro model? I have an iPad Pro 12,9” 2018, 6gb ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilboudo Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Anyone else have suggestions if to update to iPad OS or to wait, in order to keep Affinity Photo working as properly as after the last update to 1.7.2? I would need some new features from the new iPad OS (13), but I'm scared to back to have Affinity Photo unusable (digital art) due to some incompatibility with the new OS... Please...

Sara72 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi, You might want to check this thread out: iOS 13.1 - cannot open .afphoto document on iPad 12.9 I've installed iOS 13.1 and Affinity programs work fine, i did backup all my work to Dropbox first in case of any issues.

bilboudo Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks summersara! I work on Affinity Photo on iPad using .PSD files charged on iPad using iTunes and open them on the iPad through the File app. Reading your experience, all seems to work fine without lags or other issues that was present in the 1.7.1. even with files with a medium/high number of layers (which is my case). Do you confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi bilboudo I haven't noticed any lags or issues in the small time i've been using the programs since the update but i'm mostly using Designer and don't have many projects in Photo that are large with lots of layers.

bilboudo Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Uh, I understand. I don't use Designer, but only Photo. Please, should you be willing to spent a little time (very little) in order to create a file in Photo with lot of layers (A4 size or so) in order to test it quickly? Even a copy/past of a lot of photos/pics from the web in different layers, without waste time to draw or so, just to see how the app reacts. This would help me a lot, but I understand if you shouldn't have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi bilboudo, I loaded about 15 of my own photos taken from my iPhone onto different layers, most of them are about 2MB size and set the new document as A4, there was a little bit of lag when moving and resizing after adding any more photos after 15, I’m on the IPad 2017 9.7inch and so I think you would get much better results on a IPad Pro.

bilboudo Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Wonderful! Thank you so much to have spent time to make the test! So this evening I'll try the update to iPad OS with less fear. Thanks again, too much gentle! Sara72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I've been running the beta for 13.1 for quite a while and haven't had any issues with Designer. I've had a few issues with "Files" but not Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
