25+ Affinity Photo for iPad beginner’s tips!

[@kathleennekomoto6490]

Thank you. I learned so much in 15 minutes. I like it that you give just the facts and no personal comments. It was worth my time and concentration.

[@CynthiaFink2510]

I've owned this desktop app almost from the moment it was released. I'd open it, see the lady with the hair, go into the app with my own photo and run away screaming in frustration. Thank you, Jeff. You've shown me the light! I had no idea that this app could do so many cool things.

[@gamingreuke]

I’m quite confident getting this app after watching this. It just covers as much as you need when it comes to editing either your big or small projects. Thank you so much for this video and all the tips you shared here.

[@msee383]

I have treated myself to the new iPad 12.9 and love it, BUT now with Affinity photo and designer I’m soooooo happy. Great intro video.

[@sarahslittlechats2493]

Martin Mckenna wow that’s crazy how it’s pretty much 13 inches like a MacBook Pro and pretty much replaces it!!

[@MrBlaq]

I love the Affinity Products, and can't wait for Affinity Publisher later this year. But dare I say the iPad app looks and seems to perform better than their desktop app?

[@TracyMurray0]

Thank you. I have almost no editing knowledge especially on an iPad and was really struggling with even the basics of Affinity Photo. Very helpful.

[@roberttobin4484]

Thanks Jeff, I started using Affinity because none of the other programs I use were prepared to make a mobile version. I now use Lightroom mobile in conjunction with Affinity .I only use it for photo editing at this stage ,so have only scratched the surface ,of what this app is capable of.Their tutorials are the most understandable of any I have come across .

[@georgekiselica9153]

I’m just starting to use Affinity for my iPad Air 4. Jeff covers a lot of features, alot of them I didn’t know of. Great introduction to Affinity! T

[@rollsaroundindirt]

This has firmed my decision to get an Ipad. excellent video. thank you

[@danworthington3042]

I was waiting for Photoshop for the iPad. Having used it for a day, I realised how incredibly basic it was so committed to Affinity photo. Amazing bit of kit, and I would struggle to see how Adobe will even catch up with PS. And not to mention the amazing, non subscription price. Great introduction video btw.

[@JimmyGeniusEllis]

Thanks for the video. I had lost a major friend when photoshop touch got discontinued and I was really in need of something as powerful so I could continue my graphic designer work on the iPad. Your video showed me that affinity photo is exactly what I need right now and I’m going to buy it immediately because you showed me it was what I needed. I watched all 15 minutes.

[@moneytimedancecat]

Good grief. Your very first tip I had never heard. Huge thank you!

[@frankbelt633]

Excellent beginner tutorial. I am a beginner and it really helped. Thank you.

[@vancamerawoman7399]

I think you are a great presenter. Interesting and clear.

[@B1G_SW0LT]

Thanks for this video, very helpful! I’m loving Affinity Photo!

[@gamikachannel8903]

This is very useful for a beginner like me!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks you so muchhhhhhhh ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gailcheyenne]

I’ve had this app for a few months but haven’t used it-till now. Thank you for a very good quick start.

[@barryvenditti614]

Excellent video!! Truly informative.

[@stevendeary502]

Currently using this on the 2018 iPad Pro to edit a7rii shots, works great so far

[@SnackAttack6]

Wow you have convinced me, fab tutorial, I shall be watching your others, thanks 👌

[@DeutscherOfficial]

I watched your video and I decided to buy Affinity Photo! Thanks for your help! 👍🏻

[@vaim787]

I start using Affinity Photo today 😊

[@peterpayne2219]

Super video! I am floored at how clear you make everything, thank you!

[@haveshbhr]

i want to know two things about affinity photo app. 1. does it has limitations of layers? 2. could i work on high resolution images like 6000x4000 pixel

[@barryvenditti614]

Your video is one of the best I have seen regarding beginning tips. Thanks

[@Knivesrme]

Great job Jeff.

[@rapmastac1362]

This is a fantastic video. I've been waiting for the Photoshop CC app to come to the iPad and an article mentioned this app and I'm definitely picking it up! Being able to use the PSD files from my Mac make this perfect for me, and no subscription either!

[@MindofHeyyoayedee]

Great work. Thank for the tutorial.

[@soltesznagytamas]

You are right! This APP is f.cking good! 👍

[@RonaldBrown59]

It looks like a nice app, I will have to research it a bit more.

[@NormallyAnimated]

This vid helped a lot I’m thinking of getting this app

[@OkayBeckyyy]

Great tips, thank you!

[@BeeMichael]

I’m very familiar with many different editors. What I need most, is the getting files in and out of the app for editing. I would like to use this app on the road, on an iPad Pro with photos on an external HD. All these tutorials gloss through this first step and I would like a more detailed look at it. Thanx

[@kerrymartin707]

Thanks! These tips saved me quite a bit of time learning how to use this great photo tool!

[@universemediallc]

13 minutes in....I purchased it. LOVE it!

[@MichaelColeman]

A superb video. I learned several things that would have taken me much longer to discover on my own. Well done. Thank you.

[@thomasipad7719]

Many thanks!!!

[@alphatumeric]

This video convince me to get this over Photoshop very well. Neat!

[@sarahslittlechats2493]

AQPlayer92 oh nice ! I moved away from photoshop too! Have affinity on every computer but not sure if i need it on the iPad 🙈

[@anwarboi6601]

It's awesome I'm gonna download this app now..!!👍

[@ricdonato4328]

Thank you, I was not familiar with Affinity Photo. On my iPad the photo editor I am using is Pixelmator and Darkroom, definitely will more look at Affinity Photo. Sorry I missed the memo that must have stated, “rather than utilize use we will now utilize utilize”. Really, using utilize comes across as pompous, and self ingratiating.

[@_mattclassic]

thank’s for helping me get a great start on this new program!

[@emil-9432]

Excellent video! You know exactly what you’re talking about and describe it efficiently. Thanks!

[@lattiure]

Jeff, please upload more videos like this. Thanks!!

[@opalskycanvas]

Can you import brushes/create brushes? Can you do layer masks? Can you use alpha channels? Are there layer filters? Are there any features that this app has that photoshop doesn’t have and vice versa?

[@barpoe1]

Looks great! I’ve never used photoshop before, and I’m just starting as an illustrator, seems like a no brainer 👍

[@wyattcarson9793]

Thank you, excellent tutorial.

[@spookyjinx1843]

Wow amazing tutorial. Thanks mate. I did buy the Affinity Photo for my iPad pro and even the Apple pencil, but didn't really make an effort to try it out as I'm more at home with my Photoshop CC and there are not many good tutorials here on KZbin. But your video has once again challenged me to have a go at it. Thanks. For instance even a simple thing like how do I change the color and opacity for an individual layer which I have placed on another. Or in other words how does one 'match color' when blending someone's face on another body. I hope you've made some videos on that. But I have subscribed and will watch all your tutorials. God bless.

[@jalladin]

Hey, @Jeff I'm very late getting around to this video but I recently got my iPad Pro 12.9. I use it for school film & tv production is my major, so I wanted to look into doing more with the iPad. I've heard that Affinity photo was good for some pro users and I was hoping you might make an updated video on how it is with ipadOS now using the pro iPad as well. Thanks for your work in all your videos I always look forward to them.

[@railerswim]

And this is where an iPad Pro begins to replace a laptop for me. Other things need to happen but I hope this is a trend

[@afrojack1359]

railerswim I think it's inevitable it's also rumored that iOS 12 will support some Mac OS apps

[@GaryR55]

railerswim Yep! For me, I've wanted to replace my laptop with an iPad since about 2013! As it is right now, the only task I need my old Windows 7 laptop for is photo editing, using Silver Efex Pro 2 in Lightroom 4.0. However, the Asus is on its last legs, at 6 years old, and Silver Efex, as great as it is, is feeling a bit limited. The Asus is so out of date I can't use any more "modern" software, like Luminar, and I'm not going to upgrade to a new laptop just to run it. Meanwhile, on the iPad 2 I still use, I do everything else but photo editing, although I have, on occasion, done some photo editing in Snapseed, which I had on the Asus (lost the disk and now that DxO has bought the Nik Collection, I can't install from the disk anymore). Since I'm planning to buy a 2018 iPad 9.7 soon, anyway, I've thought about doing my photo editing entirely on the iPad and, thus, completing the transition to laptop killer. The only thing that has held me back, so far, is the smaller image size, but you know what? That's not a problem, as most of what I shoot is only posted online, anyway, and when I want to do a large print, the magic of bicubic interpolation makes losslessly enlarging an image to whatever size I need a breeze. I took one of my Sony a5100 photos (24.3MP, 4000x6000) and enlarged it to print an exhibition poster 20x30 inches.

[@blackcloud5157]

I think about buying a iPad for editing, since my 600€ laptops screen is soooooo bad when it comes to colour accuracy, and a iPad has just a good modern screen (or? I think so :D maybe I just got no Plan what a good screen actually looks like because I ve never used a good one :D)

[@unmeitobaku4741]

I just bought it today!! I rly love how you went through so many good and useful features for the ipad! So i am coming from Pixelmator and was wondering if someone could tell me a how these two apps are different and which one is better?

[@MartinHarvey]

Excellent prez of the basics. I've had Affinity for a while and am awed by it although I must admit I've used it sparingly.

[@itsMido2]

Omg it's nice to finally see your face!!👍🏾

[@adityapambayun8199]

I never edit my picture in photoshop because its too complicated for me, but somehow afinity photo change my perspective. Its simple yet powerful

[@michaeljames87]

Just bought it! Can’t wait to learn how to use it! Thanks.

[@dudediva69]

thank you .... that was awesome !!!!! I have been struggling with this program .... coming from PHOTOSHOP ... this was very helpful .... you are AWESOME JEFF!!

[@magspurvis7479]

You answered my question in the first 20 seconds 😊

[@unknownman9429]

Very helpful! Thanks a lot !!!

[@Claudiopchaves]

Nice Job Jeff

[@santoshp.s.s.2708]

Just purchased....awesome!👏👏👏

[@piiYT]

Great video: very nice and clear presentation and explanation! Like& subscribed:)

[@SiimKuusik]

Affinity Photo would be a nice addition 🔝

[@Oceangirl15]

Good tutorial. I’m now leaning more towards buying the app

[@erickdavid4257]

Great video! I'm looking forward to a video like this about Affinity Designer.

[@badgerbicycle]

Great intro to Affinity Photo.

[@markymaarty]

Thank you! You sold me out on this app.

[@irishfan9355]

In your opinion is Affinity Photo a good editor for an iMac?

[@aplusprintshop]

hek yeah! and Affinity Designer!

[@Buzzed4LightYears]

Love the video man, thanks for the tips.

[@osomax]

Is there any option to know the luminosity of the image at the point where we place the cursor? something like the info tool in Photoshop. I take pictures with a white background and I can't find a way to know if a sector of my image has the value 255-255-255. I use Affinity Photo on an Ipad. Thank you.

[@simotylerr534]

I love your voice so much And i love your videos

[@keiou]

Thank you. Learned something new. 😊

[@stuartmills7481]

Another very useful and informative video Jeff, thank you ! - Always like how in depth & detailed you present your video and the subject your covering - Awesome .

[@pricklypickles]

Hi, love your video tutorials. I was wondering is it possible to edit the "stroke" of a shape in Affinity Photo on the iPad. I have an iPad mini 5, so not sure if there is any difference between iPad and iPad mini 5? I have by the way checked and I know it is possible in Affinity Designer but struggling to edit the stroke of a shape in affinity Photo on the iPad mini 5 Can you help? Thanks

[@wammo12345]

I've found the tool icons too small (2020 version), but can't find a way to make them bigger. Would they look larger on a 12.9" iPad Pro or would they be the same? I'm guessing pixel density is the same across the iPads, just a bigger screen but same size tool icons?

[@therookiefisherman5234]

Can I tether to my iPad using Affinity Photo?

[@kilianneumann6508]

I have an iPad 2017 (5th Generation) which doesn`t work with an Apple Pencil. Should I also consider buying the App?

[@alilafthli]

thank you for this video

[@hivecontractinggroup2698]

Is the displacement feature available on the iPad?

[@fredpeters722]

As already been pointed out - at least for professionals with larger files it's a problem to share files only via cloud. I'd have one question. You've mentioned exporting using Airdrop. Is it possible to share the affinity photo file in the same way? To your Mac? That would be awesome. I'd like to use the iPad for retouching and sketching in my large files for posters et cetera, which can be easily >1GB in file size. Thx - als for your quick tips!

[@rogershetman604]

yes you can use airdrop with macs

[@AlexPetrov108]

Can you use Google drive instead of iCloud for the cloud sharing of the documents?

[@chinito77]

Impressive app, I see a lot of thought went into designing the UI. Would this be a good app for desktop publishing or web design? Apple Pencil support?

[@rogershetman604]

affinty is working on bring thier affinity design app which if you check it out you'll find that it's great for those things you've mentioned above

[@sravaniillindra962]

ya

[@papipopopp6532]

That is so cool

[@HadieVision]

Dope jeff..

[@ricardorgomez]

Looks like a great app. I especially like the different export options and number of functions. But it's not a desktop-class app unless it supports custom image/color presets. Does it?

[@sravaniillindra962]

ya

[@dallasGirlCowboys]

What’s the difference between using Affinity iPad vs. Affinity desktop? does it matter?

[@studiorose11]

This is an amazing asmr video.

[@mrdamnhefly]

Affinity for iPad has replaced my MacBook Pro. I haven’t edit a picture on my Mac in 7 months. This app is beyond insane!

[@sarahslittlechats2493]

Ke Tan wow that’s awesome! My MacBook Pro too has become obsolete (was breaking down)and literally I can do everything on my iPad my MacBook could do without the fan and overheating issues! Interestingly I looked on the geek bench performance tests and this iPad Air 3 is x3 times faster than my MacBook Pro 2012 🤣

[@sudhirpagare3223]

Thanks for the info...🙂

[@TejDhr]

Please do a 2020 review

[@raymondhuddleston3879]

How do you export your photos back to your iPad gallery.

[@PhillyAnchor]

Jeff when I import my photos from Photos, they are 90 degrees out of phase. I have to constantly rotate them. What am I doing wrong?

[@themenon]

I wish this was done as a screen recording

[@allsam3407]

Hello I have the canon eos m50 (also called canon eos kiss m) it produces the new raw format .cr3. I think that photo affinity does not support .cr3. On the other hand, if I convert .cr3 to .dng, does affinity photo iPad support the .dng?

[@Believe592]

Awesome

[@linda1541]

Wonderful presentation!

[@tiptoe2323]

Other Affinity Photo users are having this issues in their forums. The question is how to stop (or disable) the document (canvas) from moving around. 🙂

[@randomroses1494]

I don’t have the undo buttons. It’s my most important tool!

[@buxz777]

Random Roses use the time stamp on the bottom right of the frame

[@hittman1412]

The biggest drawback is simply the screen size which the UI, while fairly minimal, further diminishes your effective working area. Biggest size screen is the 12.9 inch which is half the size most professional artists use for screen display tablets. Also, no 4K on ipads.

[@ИванИванович-м8ф]

Спасибо 😊👍 теперь будет проще изучать эту программу . 🤓

[@TheJav10]

The only issue with affinity is that iOS doesn’t support the transfer of raw photos via iCloud they all turn into .jpg (unless they have fixed this which I doubt). If you are going to be using raw photos you’ll have to go through a couple extra steps to use them on affinity. It pretty much easier to just use Lightroom unless you want to be limited to the .jpg

[@jdrotleff]

Javier Covarrubias apple photos handles RAW very nicely nowadays fyi

[@saarbrook]

Tell ‘em Jeff! :)
