What I am blown away about is the optimisation. I'm out of words. I use a 5 yr old iPad Air. And as of lately, I'm pushing its limits. I used to do all my design work in Procreate. Lol. After some amount of layers, it gets quite laggy. I downloaded Affinity Design yesterday thinking its not even gonna run, (the app is 1.6 GB) It ran super smooth. I exported my project from Procreate as PSD and opened it in Aff. Design and it worked like magic. No lag. On an iPad Air 2. Close to 70 layers!!!! Im blown!!
Even this video being years old it is great. I didn’t know for example the dragging capabilities when doing the on the right side studio panel (didn’t even know that was the name of it)… color brightness, history scrolling, zoom scrolling… man these people know what they are doing.
An awesome video for an awesome app -- this pushed my hype level over the edge! Excellent demonstration of how Serif took the the imprecision of touch for pro apps and turned it into a strength.
i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Learnt a lot in such a short time!! I just bought the app few days back and have been going crazy to learn about it. All the other tutorials have been so long and boring. This is the best so far... Thanks a ton!!!
I recently got an iPad Pro to be my main art device. This is exactly what I was looking for! Immediately bought it halfway through watching this video!
Awesome program! Seems to be well worth the price! It reminds me of the old Claris Draw (many years ago!). I love object-orientated apps. Photoshop has its place.... but this app is certainly a lost art. I’m glad they’ve given so much attention to it! Thanks for the information! Lauri
Best video I’ve seen for affinity design beginners it made things so quick and easy to understand !!!👍🏽 You might as well go ahead and drop more of your expertise knowledge in a full beginners course for us LOL
I've only just purchased Affinity Designer and wanting to learn the basics of how to use it. This video is great - simply and clearly explained. Thanks
after watching your video, it gave me no hesitation to purchase it immediately. Its an evolution of what we’ve been expecting to do on the ipad for years !
You'd better check out official tutorials. You''ll find out that buying this app you're actually stealing it ! :))) It's amazingly powerful like no others.
thank you .... that was awesome !!!!! I have been struggling with this program .... coming from PHOTOSHOP ... this was very helpful .... you are AWESOME JEFF!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This has saved me a ton of time in trying to figure stuff out. I am so excited that Affinty Designer is now on iPad--i prefer vector work, so procreate isn't 100% for me. I've been using desktop version for a year and love it.I'm seeing an upgrade to iPad pro in my future. Thanks for sharing this,Jeff, any more tutorials for this in the works--like importing fonts or more advanced options?
A single thumbs up is just not enough für this video. You actually really showed stuff here that i wouldn’t have ever thought of. This app is even better than expected.
Dangggg I’ve been using affinity for 2 years now and some of these tricks literally BLEW my mind!!! Thank you for this amazing video, my life makes sense again, lol
Very intuitive, it looks even more enjoyable working on iPad version than the Desktop. Very well done Serif. So good, it looks so user-friendly, powerful, affordable. Most important, IT IS NOT SUBSCRIPTION BASE.
You already have significally better videos about the same features right on starting screen of this app inside your iPad. Official tutorials. Step-by-step, with great learning curve.
that's incredible what they were able to do with that app without have access to a mouse and buttons. Seems like a steep learning curve, but you will definitely be future proofing yourself if you start practicing now.
Nope. All this is already on official site. and accessible from starting screen, missed in this video 'cause it would make this video completely useless. Check out official page with deep and quality tutorials, revealing structural logic in their UI instead of this pointless redo's without any logical learning curve. affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/designer/ipad/#/
Sugar Touch that’s great, but sometimes you just need the quick and dirty to get up and running. I didn’t have to learn the internal combustion engine to drive a car or put gas in it.
It's already done by Apple and it's called "Notes" :) Out-of-the-box native app. :) You just have to check out its features by reading some guides or watching some videos.
Yup 😂 even with procreate being newer, apps like autodesk sketchbook are still behind and clunky to use. Procreate even out performs most desktop programs.
The software companies that take touch-based computing seriously are the ones that will be relevant in the future.......until Adobe rushes in and purchases them.
We always knew with the announcement of the Ipad version that Adobe would be concerned...Maybe they should have thought about that before screwing customers into subscription based purchases. It's hard to be loyal to a company who doesn't appreciate their fan base. Well done, Serif Affinity Designer. Way to think outside the box and show your passion for the industry, not your greed like Adobe. #lifetimeloyaltyearned
We’re probably going to get a 15 inch iPad Pro this fall, and Apple will finally give us final cut. Software is getting ready for the iPad to take over for most users.
I’m already using the iPad Pro for 99% of what I used my computer for..... I can’t even remember what the 1% is unless I run into the brick wall. Oh, storage is a Frankenstein conglomeration of things and has to be accessed outside of most apps. They need to solve that soon.
Serif is doing god's work, their apps alone justify the iPad Pro. Once my Creative Cloud runs out, I might switch over to their Desktop apps too. Since I prefer FCPX and Logic Pro to Adobe's counterparts, only Photoshop and Ai were keeping me around.
Maybe there is also After Effects and Indesign. Motion is more like a thing to have alongside After Effects too, and to the latter - I'm very excited for Affinity Publisher :D
Is there any tools similar to illustrator's: 1)scissor tool, 2)smooth tool, and options like 3) "select -> same -> fill color. I work in Adobe Illustrator and really like the new Affinity Designer for Ipad Pro, but I just miss these options.... :(
Bought this a couple of days ago - this and Affinity photo have been game changers for me. I think I’ll even buy both apps for my Desktop too next month as the iPad interface is fantastic but sometimes a bit clunky for other types of my work. My ‘go to’ apps now although Procreate is also fantastic and luma fusion for video editing also equally good in its own right. Bye Bye the Adobe monopoly.
1. When I draw a line, is there a scissors tool, or cut tool? How can I make the line cutted? 2. If I want to adjust the line, is there a smooting line tool? 3. If I select multiple shapes and divide them, can I merge them by the same color?

But I’d rather be a ventilator🥺
i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
This is the perfect video for long time users of Designer on the desktop that want to get up to speed on the iPad version. Nicely done!
Learnt a lot in such a short time!!
I just bought the app few days back and have been going crazy to learn about it. All the other tutorials have been so long and boring. This is the best so far... Thanks a ton!!!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I’m a beginner with this app and so your tips are very helpful to me. 😘

I recently got an iPad Pro to be my main art device. This is exactly what I was looking for! Immediately bought it halfway through watching this video!
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm currently learning how to use the app so it will definitely be useful!
This app suddenly made me grateful live in this century. I really appreciate your tutorial, how helpful!
Thanks! This is my go to reminder video when it’s been a while.

Thanks so much, a very helpful tutorial for anyone new to Affinity.
This video has been super helpful! I bought the app when it came it, but haven't even opened it. Now I'm motivated to finally try it out. :)

Dangggg I’ve been using affinity for 2 years now and some of these tricks literally BLEW my mind!!! Thank you for this amazing video, my life makes sense again, lol
I own and friggin' love this app.
Wow ! 😳 The last one ! Is a big surprise for me ! Saving my export process 👌🏽 > suscribed
Thank you so much ♥️♥️ شكرًا جزيلًا
Very intuitive, it looks even more enjoyable working on iPad version than the Desktop. Very well done Serif. So good, it looks so user-friendly, powerful, affordable. Most important, IT IS NOT SUBSCRIPTION BASE.
I have to say, it is a joy to use.
For $20 this is a steal, i was paying a lot to keep photoshop and i don't even use it that often
Thanks for this, now I’m going to actually buy this app!
Amazing 😍
I just bought the app and this video helped so much. Thank you :) Still getting use to it.
You already have significally better videos about the same features right on starting screen of this app inside your iPad. Official tutorials. Step-by-step, with great learning curve.
life changing!
that's incredible what they were able to do with that app without have access to a mouse and buttons. Seems like a steep learning curve, but you will definitely be future proofing yourself if you start practicing now.
I'm going to migrate all my work from the macbook pro to the iPad Pro lol.
What Affinity has done is great!
Nice!!!!!!
That was an epic video
10:53 you see what happens there? it actually creates a new sheep!
😂🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
very helpful :]
This app set’s the bar for intuitive design guidelines.
Great tips Jeff!
Nope.

No thanks.

Thank you
Affinity Designer Mastery in a nutshell. Thank You for sharing
So handy touch gestures. Would Love to See an App like OneNote from the Affinity Team
It's already done by Apple and it's called "Notes" :) Out-of-the-box native app. :) You just have to check out its features by reading some guides or watching some videos.
thanks ^^
Thanks
*mind blown on the redo and undo* I was opening history studio.... ERMAGHAD
So procreate and affinity are basically saying "all other iPad art programs we'll take it from here".
Yup 😂 even with procreate being newer, apps like autodesk sketchbook are still behind and clunky to use. Procreate even out performs most desktop programs.
They snapped. I'm floored, adobe's wig was found in Corel's headquarters.
They‘re also showing Adobe how it‘s done.
The software companies that take touch-based computing seriously are the ones that will be relevant in the future.......until Adobe rushes in and purchases them.
Pretty much. I used to use sketchbook for a few of their tools, but now I can just delete it..
Thanks for sharing, good video. May I ask how to relink image in this Affinity Design app?
太棒了！！！
This looks better than the desktop version.
Serif = The Takeover
Can you please let me know what Ipad cover combo that is and where I can get it? Ty

Hey, Jeff, how do I use soft-proofing in Affinity Designer? (To be able to see a preview of how my digital art will look when printed)
We’re probably going to get a 15 inch iPad Pro this fall, and Apple will finally give us final cut. Software is getting ready for the iPad to take over for most users.
Yes. I like to see a 15 inch iPad Pro.
I’m already using the iPad Pro for 99% of what I used my computer for..... I can’t even remember what the 1% is unless I run into the brick wall. Oh, storage is a Frankenstein conglomeration of things and has to be accessed outside of most apps. They need to solve that soon.
The iPad with, affinity designer is all that designers need.
Serif is doing god's work, their apps alone justify the iPad Pro. Once my Creative Cloud runs out, I might switch over to their Desktop apps too. Since I prefer FCPX and Logic Pro to Adobe's counterparts, only Photoshop and Ai were keeping me around.
Maybe there is also After Effects and Indesign. Motion is more like a thing to have alongside After Effects too, and to the latter - I'm very excited for Affinity Publisher :D
Beware Affinity Photo IOS - it crashes a lot.
Neil Macleay use it all the time since 6 months never crashed for me.
Plz Affinity, make a video, 3D
, animation, and AE
I am currently learning design on Affinity on Mac and now iPad, not stuck in aí and switching to serif.
Looks like magic 0_0
Hi, is there a gesture in Affinity Designer for deleting selection? Like in Procreate there is 3 finger swipe. Typing on an icon is not that handy.
I am shook
Is there any tools similar to illustrator's: 1)scissor tool, 2)smooth tool, and options like 3) "select -> same -> fill color.
I work in Adobe Illustrator and really like the new Affinity Designer for Ipad Pro, but I just miss these options.... :(
I need help on making a grid guide for my canvas on affinity photo
Bought this a couple of days ago - this and Affinity photo have been game changers for me. I think I’ll even buy both apps for my Desktop too next month as the iPad interface is fantastic but sometimes a bit clunky for other types of my work. My ‘go to’ apps now although Procreate is also fantastic and luma fusion for video editing also equally good in its own right. Bye Bye the Adobe monopoly.
wow, wow, wow!
1. When I draw a line, is there a scissors tool, or cut tool? How can I make the line cutted?
2. If I want to adjust the line, is there a smooting line tool?
3. If I select multiple shapes and divide them, can I merge them by the same color?
Hello! I am thinking about purchasing affinity. Is there any grids, guides or rules which can help me to layout?
