#affinity — Public Fediverse posts

I am pretty happy that Affinity by Canva has finally released an iPad version.

Trying it for 30 minutes mostly focused on digital painting. here are my notes:
- They heavily revamped the UI to make it very tablet friendly, actually pretty nice.
- The UI is actually editable. You can add tools to the menu bar on the left and add or remove options from the quick menu for each tool. This is really good!
- I tried using the paint mixer brush, I cannot find where to change the wetness and strength settings... It should be a set of sliders somewhere.
- Still unsure if 100% of the features were ported and are available on iPad.
- The default brush sets are nice, I like the new names for each brush.
- Still a lot of bugs, especially the color picker defaulting to red when activated, instead of being the active color...
- Couldn't find the setting to show the brush circle outline when drawing.

Stumbled on this while working in the #iPad #Affinity app. The base iPad does not have pressure-sensitive capabilities. But, you can sort of mimic it if you’re drawing in vector, by reversing the pressure graph under the Stroke panel. You can then go to the line width tool to manipulate the widths of vector line sections.
