Hi quick question i was sent a project on affinity photo created on desktop but when I open it on ipad it's missing few layers, can you help with this?

[@JackieWW]

I do a lot of photo editing and some illustration. My photo editing often requires lots of path clipping/masking. Currently I’m working on a 27” iMac with a 13” MacBook Pro as a mobile option. I just ordered a brand new 27” iMac since my current one is acting up. However, all my designer friends are saying iPad is the way to go. I’m hesitant because I do so much photo editing it seems I would be cramped in my body working at length on an iPad. I also prefer having that luxurious big screen while working on photos and design. What’s your thoughts? Can iPad Pro be a comfortable daily machine for photo editing or complex illustration?

[@MI-uq1fq]

Could I ask you somthing please , what about the tools , commands and panels side , is there a different between the iPad version and desctop version?

[@accentontheoff]

Hi, what about a beginner like me .. is it possible to learn on the iPad version (with an Apple Pencil) or would you recommend I get the desktop version and learn there.

[@RaggaMoDz]

I am currently just using my iPad Pro, though I do have a Razer Blade Pro 17, I have been just using my IPad Pro as my new of computing. The only reason I would find my self using the desktop is for more complex visual effect and 3D animation, but other than that the iPad Pro is capable of pretty much everything else. It’s just the learning curve, however since then I have added a mouse I still get that desktop experience 🙏🏾

[@jhon.vectorize]

Nice! I was planning to get a power note like this one for video editing

[@JackieWW]

Can you work on your iPad for hours and be comfortable? I’m interested in the concept of iPad for my primary photo editing and illustration work but i can’t imagine how you could work comfortably all day on an iPad

[@DiamondFlame45]

Hey Jhonatan! What is the tablet you use to work on Affinity Designer when using the desktop? I have an iPad Pro 12.9" with the affinity designer app installed but sometimes I want to work on the desktop since its bigger. Can you also provide a link? Thanks!

[@jhon.vectorize]

hi diamond! great to know :D recently I bought a Huion hs611, but still testing to see if is good enough to recommend it

[@Dimapbs]

Adaptation and Diversification. Can start something on iPad and carry on desktop, or vice versa. Both serve their purpose. Can not really bring my desktop to a beach and draw.

[@jhon.vectorize]

Yees!

[@rceleo]

How do you carry on to desktop?can you work on the SAME file like from a cloud storage?

[@Dimapbs]

@@rceleo exactly, cloud storage. for me its easy, icloud on both devices. Upload on one, open on another device and so on.

[@rceleo]

@@Dimapbs I did try exporting as template in an iCloud folder then opened it on desktop and then saved it in the same place. Will I have two copies if I open it on my iPad now ? I can only make a NEW doc FROM template not just OPEN a template like I did on my iMac. I’m i missing something?

[@Dimapbs]

@@rceleo I save it as a affinity project file (saved on ilocud folder), it syncs and than I take ipad and open that file from that icloud folder and continue. I do not have same files been created over and over. I use the same file.

[@rceleo]

can you make a short video on mving from ipad to desktop while working on the same project. Like the Creative Cloud of Adobe. I have AD for ipad and want to keep working in the same project on the desktop AffinityD , what is the best way to do this? I did find a way to do this, I have to export as TEMPLATE from the ipad and put the file on my iCloud then open it on my desktop, BUT now I have two copies and this can get very confusing with time. thanks for any advice you might have ! 2:56

[@shenilpragji1682]

Is there a video on Affinity Photo? iPad Pro vs Mac/Pc?

[@zsoltbaritz2208]

I use both, but mostly desktop version of AD. Sidecar review please 🤗

[@jhon.vectorize]

Great! I use more ipad haha. For big projects I switch to desktop 😂

[@kjbill]

Affinity Photo is great too!

[@ik8731]

Hello, could you please give me some advice? I have iPad which Apple Pencil is available, but it’s not iPad Pro. I will get a new MacBook air during this month. I’m thinking about whether I should get Affinity Designer for iPad or MacBook. I will make logo design with using Affinity Designer. Thank you and I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

[@jhon.vectorize]

for logo design I would use Desktop. it's better to control and have more precision, But it's always a personal preference. for things related to illustration more free hand, I'd get ipad but dude, both apps, are just 1 time purchase, if you have mac and ipad, why don't get both? :)

[@Pameliux23]

Do you have a video where you talk about sidecar? I’ve searched for your video on that but couldn’t find it. Thanks for your great job!

[@jhon.vectorize]

I usually use Astropad, but I can do a review about sidecar for sure, thanks for your suggestion

[@Pameliux23]

@@jhon.vectorize does your iPad work as a graphic table? Cause that is my question. I don’t know if I can use flawlessly the iPad with Affinity on pc and using iPad as a Wacom… thanks

[@AD-ud9oe]

Hello. Nice video. Where can i get this ipad stand?

[@jhon.vectorize]

hi there, I bought on aliexpress, it's for notebook, but it works well for my ipad

[@denniskie320]

Hi, i would be glad if you can help me, there’s something i would like to ask you. Right now, i have the budget to buy the new Ipad Pro M1 2021 and an Apple Pencil, and i have a PC with 1050 Ti, i7, 16 RAM, XP-Pen Display Tablet. Is it better if i just buy the ipad so i can work anywhere if im not productive at home, or should i just upgrade my PC and buy the newest xp-pen so it would work more smooth?

[@jhon.vectorize]

Hi Dennis, if you are feeling like unproductive, somehow is because you are working too much and need to have a space to restore your creative energy, if your desktop are giving you all the needs, there is no need to upgrade, you can get the Ipad pro, if you have money for that, at least you will be experimenting a new media and device, like using procreate, or others apps available to it, currently I'm working more on desktop, since my ipad it's getting too much storage, this is a big problem for people that works professioanly, my ipad has only 64 gb, which is not very good for me.

[@denniskie320]

@@jhon.vectorize Aaahh, Im glad i just bought the iPad !! I’m replying through my iPad now hahaha thanks for the advice 😆😆

[@usmanmughalart2834]

I would work on ipad for my own, but for office I have to get desktop version, hope they have 50% discount in future again for desktop

[@jhon.vectorize]

same as here :), are you new about affinity? I think they have promoted discount some months ago

[@shan0374]

They have 50% off now

[@bayanbefari7072]

Should I buy the both version to open in 2 different devices or not

[@jhon.vectorize]

Hi, Yes! they are different platform, like apps that works on iphone and mac need to be bought separately

[@zee9er]

desktop is so much easier. I wish you could change the set up to be like the Macbook.

[@johnbee3187]

great insight

[@jhon.vectorize]

thanks John!

[@eltonsilva3169]

Eai meu brother, tudo bom? Coloca legenda PT-BR para a gente ;) seus vídeos são muito bons, mas não entendo muito o inglês. Sei que vai dar um trabalho, mas vou ficar muito grato! Valeu abração!

[@jhon.vectorize]

Opa, vou da uma olhadinha de como que coloca. Ja tentou usar a opção de tradução que o youtube da?

[@oes2546]

Surface Laptop Studio though...
