Has anyone with experience using Affinity Designer on the iPad Air 13” run into any issues? I’m currently using an 11” Pro and would find the additional screen space very useful.

Thanks!

I am using Affinity Designer 2 on iPad to vectorize an illustration (it’s my first time).

Image 1: Affinity preview

Image 2: SVG export result

Image 3: layers

Using « erase » combination between layers (like a mask I guess), I managed to create the effect I want (see image 1 and layers). However, as soon as I try to export it in SVG, the erasing layer is converted into a normal layer, creating an unwanted red object (see picture 2).

Does someone knows how to transform my work or set the export in order to make the SVG correspond to the illustration in Affinity?

Coming from illustrator, creating and fine tuning paths with the pen tool was a breeze, but with AD I feel like I'm fighting every curve I make. When I attempt to remove nodes causing weird/jagged corners on the path, it goes nuts, doesn't remain a logical curve anymore.

Where am I going wrong? Its taking me 5x as long to vector ink my sketches, and even after battling the paths into something smoother, I'm not as happy with the end product.

I'm really hoping its user error and there is a better way that hasn't clicked yet. Any suggestions?

I’m working on some map graphics for games, using a variety of software such as Affinity Designer and Wonderdraft. All looks great on screen, but whenever I try to print them out using either my laser printer or inkjet, the colors are way off - specifically, everything looks much darker than it did on screen.

I know of color profiles on the Mac, but have no idea how to use them or how to calibrate my display and/or printers so that I can print correctly.

Can anyone advise or point me in the direction of some advice that I can use to crack this problem?

Is there any way to make brush strokes over existing ones in pixel persona not affect the existing ones?

Hello, community. As you can see, the brush is lagging behind. I know what some of you might say: that it’s due to stabilization on the brush itself. However, that's not the case; there seems to be a performance issue. Can anyone help?

The website suggested that it was compatible with designer and photo, but I've only been able to access it in photo. Why is that?

Question though, Is it only for today or do they extend it for a few days after?

Hello!

I did some googling and looked through True Grit FAQ etc but I can't find an answer, I thought people here might have had experience with it and it could save me some money.

I have bought True Grit packs for Illustrator

- Infinite Pulp

- Vector Savior

- Lithotone

- Hardwear (looks only Ai)

Are you able to use these the same on Affinity Designer? Do they cross over?

Thanks for any help, have a great day

Hi there, I'm very new to Affinity, and I'm currently contemplating on whether I should purchase the V2 Universal License or not.

For those who have used Affinity, is it really a good replacement for vector graphics software?

My need for it is as simple as layouting stickers, adding outline etc, which in Adobe Illustrator, they use a feature called image trace? (is it basically converting the shape into vector?)

Is Affinity able to do that, or do we need to use pen tool manually?

Thankyou in advance, and please feel free to share your experiences in using Affinity!

I know I'm under-informed. But this Black Friday sale will only be around for a short time... I don't think I can educate myself enough to make an informed decision. Anyone knowledgeable about this willing to help? Thanks.

Hello, total rookie here, I'd appreciate some help. I've never had an iPad or Affinity. I officially have the tablet and am figuring out how to download and buy the collection of apps onto it.

Does the purchase happen when the app is downloaded or after the fact when I create an Affinity account?

The app store has a $22.99CAD option to get all three apps, but when I clicked it to purchase only Designer downloaded... Now I'm not sure if I somehow only paid for Designer (there is no payment history listed in the app store) and I don't want to accidently pay more than needed by downloading each app individually, or buying Designer twice.

I don't see obvious instructions online please help thank you.

As the 50% sale is on and I already got the app bundle, I wonder if there are any widely considered "must have" add-ons for Designer 2? I appreciate it's borad, subjective question, I just curious.

Video shows what the issue is. I'm trying to drag a marquee selection in between boxes, but the program thinks I'm trying to select the closest object, despite my cursor, well..... not being on that object. You could see I managed to get it in between just right a few times, but most of the time when I'm working fast I'm bound to start the selection too close to a box and it drags it instead. If I could turn off whatever is doing this, that would be amazing. I understand it's supposed to be helpful but this keeps on happening and it's proving quite the opposite.
