Thank you very much for your feedback and the sub!

You're welcome!

First thank you.. Can you maybe share what problems you encounter (maybe i can make a short video about it)? From my experience most of the desktop features are available.. what i miss mostly is the procedural textures and macros.

@@Graphicalfinity Top of the list is the clunky handling of Layers, where changing a layer’s name takes a list of actions and actually changing the window - for each one! - just what an artist needs when doing a little file-keeping (sarc). Many dozens of features are so much better done with key commands so, gee, maybe Affinity should show a subtle reminder every time the user forgets what some deeply buried touch icon responds to. Instead, the user must keep using the deeply buried touch icon OR completely break the flow of creativity by changing the screen to a different application entirely, where we can do a search and read some. C’MON! The temporary help button which names the icons around the edge of the screen isn’t doing most users any good at all. Make it contextual to drill down to the function the user appears to be working on. That is not the least bit common in software. On an iPad, if I have to change the entire display to look for some narrowly focused help, Affinity has failed me. This is way more than just a UI problem; it is very poor coding. I honestly believe the iOS coding people are new hires working their way into the business by learning the software at the user’s expense. That impression comes to mind every time I use a control that needs to be set to 2.3 or maybe even 2.8, but just breathing on it gives me 2,391 or 0 - take my pick. I’ve lost count of the instances where this is typical behavior. Every software needs to be learned before it ceases being a complete PITA. Affinity’s iPad versions don’t have a learning curve, they have a mystery game of chutes and ladders featuring brick walls and tarpits wherein the designer decides helping is not their job. Just FYI, I am an instructor-level ProTools user, a capable Vectorworks CAD user, and a FileMaker programmer. I mention those so you won’t think I’m just lost. 🤗 Thank you very much for asking.

That would be cool indeed! You can however use regular layer tools to make changes (the quick mask preview is actually Edit as Layer function)

Thank you very much!

You are welcome!

​@@GraphicalfinityVery true, this channel is my go to for affinity photo, very clear to follow and the technique is like for expert user but you explained nicely, no time wasted, very recomended to all affinity photo user new or current user, thank you for sharing your skill with us

You are welcome!

I understand exactly what you mean... and that is indeed very frustrating (not only when you move it but also when you apply effects etc). Check out an older video from me (method 3) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJ6apt2G1dO3fWQ.html I'll try to upload an updated video on the subject.

@@Graphicalfinity Thank you so much for answering and I've watched the video regarding mask you provided with the link, it's awesome! I'm really excited to see how to fix this problem with your tutorial soon. I'll share with everyone when the video comes out.

Very true! But even AI is not perfect, always good to have masking skills :)

AI will never be as good as manual work.

@@hdframez Yes I totally agree - but as a hobbyist I don't want to spend hours editing all my shots, so a quick AI subject or background mask that say gets you 95% of the way in a few seconds helps if that makes sense?

Good point! But it always good to have some masking skills in your toolbox :)

If you were in a hurry, stick with your subscription. Problem solved.

It’s a lot of info in a short vid.,but these are advanced masking techniques that are vital to perfection. Take one procedure at a time, break it down.
