He also touches on the new Export Persona, changes to Brushes and how we’ve redefined gestures-but more on that next! Watch James’ overview video for a full run down of the changes to the UI in Affinity Photo for iPad 1.6.9. Zoom levels are now solely controlled in the Navigator Studio.

Due to the introduction of two-finger tap Undo, this gesture is no longer possible. Of course, before the 1.6.9 update, a double two-finger tap gesture was reserved for switching between Zoom to Fit and your current zoom level. We think that this will speed up workflows for many users, though we understand an existing user of Affinity Photo for iPad may miss the Undo and Redo buttons, so you can switch these back on in the app in Preferences if you wish. This does, however, have an impact on the UI.Ī big change that existing users of Affinity Photo for iPad will definitely notice is the introduction of two-finger tap to Undo, and three-finger tap to Redo.

So, the 1.6.9 update introduces and redefines some gestures that make the Affinity workflow consistent.

Whilst developing Affinity Designer for iPad we came across a number of things that were important to creatives when working on iPad, which we wanted to incorporate into Affinity Photo. Here’s a run-down of what you can expect from our latest released development work, the 1.6.9 update for Affinity Photo for iPad. We are constantly refining and updating our apps in our quest to accelerate workflows. To conquer this new frontier, we have had to forge innovative new ways of working, and we are learning all the time. In June 2017 we achieved what no-one has before… bringing the first fully-fledged professional creative app to iPad. To coincide with the milestone of a quarter of a million users adopting Affinity Photo for iPad, we’ve released an update that refines our revolutionary app even further.
