I have just released the first beta 3.1!!!
Please leave your remarks in this thread.
If anybody wants to join beta tests - please send your email to [email protected]
Version 3.1 should be available on the App Store in about 2 weeks.

Nice update man! I used elastify on the top toolbar and renamed it using an EMOJI. It worked! I wanted to have a logo for it and not text haha.
Not related to the painting functions, I wanted to see the interface of the gallery change. My ideas are from adobe apps, especially fresco. Where there will be a panel on the left side having:
HOME - where the preset sizes are displayed + custom size, and a big cover where it says "Welcome to ASP!" and a button where you can see the latest updates installed
Gallery - Your works are displayed, bigger thumbnails for recent or favorite works
Forum - shortcut to this forum etc
-
Emoji - good idea :)
Gallery - we will probably soon switch to system Document Browser Controller...

The new beta is awesome! TestFlight on M1 does not work. Do you know any tricks to get the beta on to the M1?
-
I think it is not possible, sorry...

ASP still works a lot better on the iPad anyway. :)
BTW, Undo gesture doesn't work for me. A bug?
-
Maybe you are trying to use it in Pencil Only mode?
Or you disabled it in Preferences > Gestures?
I need all you Preferences options, and app screenshot to tell why it doesn’t work.

Pencil only mode. Damn! Thanks! I was almost through the iPad display, poking like hell. ;D
-
Awesome beta so far, thanks!!
Regarding Undo, in the latest Public version: the finger (in Pencil-only mode) doesn’t draw but still does gestures. Which is the expected behaviour.
In this beta: in pencil-only mode the finger stops drawing AND stops undo gestures.
Something needs to be adjusted ::)
I use latest iOS and iPad Pro 2018
-
I have just tested that, and everything is ok in both App Store version and Beta version.
If you want to use Undo/Redo gestures in Pencil Only mode, you have to just set it in Preferences > Apple Pencil > 'PENCIL ONLY' MODE > Allow Finger Undo Gesture

Oh yes -Sorry I missed that setting! Was looking inside the “gestures” preferences.
Works perfectly now. Thanks!!

Painted in beta several hours on pretty big file (400 mb). Critical mistakes and instability are not found.
Thanks for adding disabling erase blending on color pick. The only thing is it's works only with holding pencil on screen, color picking with double tap on apple pencil 2nd gen doesn't turn erase blending off.
Also, check panels if it is not on purpose. They are use different logic. Reference panel can be under top bar menu. I mean top bar menu doesn't move reference panel down on opening. And that's very cool.
Layers and color panels are moved down by opening top bar menu. Ideally, top bar menu shouldn't waste any screen space by moving panels down on its opening.
Warp tool works great. Thanks for work time statistics. The only thing I need is quick shapes and Artstudio would fit all my needs. And you still need to work a bit on design, there is place to improve. A bit later I'll write about it.
Thanks for awesome job!

Here are my suggestion about design. I paint in Artstudio on daily basis half a year, so its not theoretical but practical vision.
Here on screenshot my ideal sidebar. At the moment, layer panel and color panels are too big and it is not possible to place in a row reference/navigator panel. All unnecessary buttons can me moved under submenu to make panels smaller.
It should be pin lockers on every panel. You can move them accidentally, you can close them accidentally by pressing color icon instead of brush icon. I’d like to have this sidebar all the time without changing.
I think changes above is necessary for cleaner design and usability.
And menu in one line on top bar isn’t necessary, but would be good to have an option to place it like on screenshot. It should be faster and convenient to operate with commands, then placing these TRA, ELA, CLE, INV, etc in top bar. These abbreviations are hard too remember, after several hours of painting I found that it is easier for me to use these actions from quick menu. But still ability to put transform icon on a top bar is cool thing.
Thanks.

Will the macos 3.1 version be released with the same tools like warp when the ipad version is released?

Pin icon - i have never liked Pin in any app, sorry...
Hiding some panel options - yes, i like it, maybe in 3.2
Swipe gestures in Layers - we are going to implement it asap, maybe even in ver 3.1
Top menu abbreviations - you can also use emoticons

Yes, we implemented Warp in both Mac and iOS versions. Version 3.1 for Mac will be released together with iOS, probably in March 29th

Pin icon - i have never liked Pin in any app, sorry...
At least, do not close panels on tap on top bar right side icons if they are docked. There are special crosses on each panel for closing them. Duplicating activities can be useful sometimes, but not in this case, I can’t count how many times I accidentally closed panels by tapping these top bar right side icons.
-
Just drag panel a bit to prevent closing it.
-
When you drag a bit it stays on screen. But it closes when you tap on top bar icons on right side. I press them accidentally quite often. When panel is already pinned to screen by dragging it a bit, it should be closing only on [ x] button tapping, not on top bar icons.
And I can explain these accidental touches. On a sketch phase I have all panels closed or only reference panel opened. On a painting phase I have reference and color panel opened. Layers panel is opened if i have enough screen space for this illustration. In this situation accidental mistouches happens too often and that leads to panel closing. So, you spend time to open it and drag a bit to pin. I suppose its bad User Experience. Interface should help people to avoid mistakes.
-
It would be nice to have the alternative to save the position of the panels so that when we open a recent project, our layout return to as it was when closing or be able to set a general layout for all projects.
-

Layer locations are saved, so you only have to reopen them... i don’t thino we need another mechanism for that.

Yeah. I'm damaged from using Photoshop. :D I'm used to have my tool panels and stuff visible in the position I left them. Can be a bit overkill on iPad though, where you want as much canvas visible as possible. But to have the choice in settings would be a nice feature in the future. On the M1 macs running the iPad version it would be really usefull with big displays and everything. As for now the big system arrow is destroying all the fun on the M1. I wished it could be disabled and only visible when you're not on the canvas. Well, can't have it all. :)
Living in Artstudio Pro all day long, loving it.

Macos version don´t show the scrollbar in the brush-selection panel. When working with a tablet it´s impossible to scroll down and I have to use the mouse scrollbutton to get down the list of brushes.
-
It was quite some time I used ASP, but decided to get the new beta to try: I really like what you have done to the app! I like the fact that I can have multiple panels open (layers, colors) but I must say I would like them to be a bit more compact, especially the color editor. They are a bit too clunky now for my taste. Also I would like to be able to dock them in some way, and be able to open/close the whole sidebar at once... Having read your previous comments its not what you want to do with ASP, but it make my workflow more efficient.
I also like the fact that any action can be added to the top bar. I have set deselect, clear and erase blending mode in it, and this is very helpful for me. One little thing I would like to see is a kind of visual indicator when using the erase blend mode. Right now I can not see which mode is selected, and this might lead me to believe the brush or the program is not working properly, as it does not make marks. It would be solved if the button at the top bar showed some visual change when selected. It only has to be subtle, but it would help.

Ok, we will fix it asap

Quick menu is one of the best thing to speed up interaction with app tools, but it needs some tweaks:
1. I’d make possible to add button of Quick Menu to top bar.
2. I’d make an ability in settings to show quick menu always centered to screen.
3. I’d make buttons in Quick Menu a bit bigger. Perfect way is user can choose appropriate size for his fingers from set of different size or set his own in pixel or slider.
Also, Quick menu can show up only after second touch sometimes. I have it on 4 fingers tap. First 4 fingers tap nothing happens. Second 4 fingers tap and quick menu shows up. I can’t say that is too frustrating, but it is still abnormal behavior.
-
I will wait with these changes a bit...

Perspective grid works incorrectly. You can change it but result can’t be saved.
-
Tool Options icon added to top bar doesn’t work in last beta.
-
It shouldn't be allowed there, we will fix it.

didn't you skip it? Perspective tool is unusable at the moment.

Ok, I wrote about it because it worked in previous beta.

Hi nice updates in the beta
I was wondering - are there any chances for UI update - I remember after previous release lots of people were having suggestions about how to reduce space taken by the Brush panels, Color wheel or layers . Right now they are huge, and take lot of drawing space.
-
More compact panels options is planned for the future, now i'm not sure how to do it keeping all features.

I noticed that hotkeys assigned to show/hide panels seem to not be working in the 3.1 beta. I tested colors, layers, brushes, and tool options, with customized hotkeys assigned to them. Pressing the hotkey, nothing happens. I'm on an iPad Pro 2018.
-
It is fixed in the latest beta.

Minor issue. I seem to no longer be able to tap either the brush, color, or layer panel icons to make the their panels disappear anymore.

Cool! I noticed that the hotkeys work as expected for the color/brushes/tool options- pressing the hotkey toggles the panel now. However, It seems that the layers panel will only appear with the hotkey, it wont disappear when you press the hotkey again, like the other panels.
-
Yea, we changed that to only show panels after user request...

And that’s great. Thanks. Very cool it doesn’t close anymore on accidental touches.
But I suggested a bit different logic of it.
1. If you tap on panel icon to open it and didn’t drag it yet to pin to screen, then you can close it by top bar icon.
2. If you opened panel and dragged it to pin to screen, it can’t be closed by top bar icon, only by cross on panel.
This will suit to all users. It keeps old behaviour and has new one with closing protection.
Thanks again for implementing closing protection.
-
I absolutely agree, we will fix it on Monday.

I think that for users like me who are using keyboard shortcuts to open and close the panels, its unintuitive if they dont/hide show on the button press, regardless of whether the panel has been "pinned" or not. I would ask that you maintain that functionality in your new iteration, please! I use it constantly.
For what its worth, I liked the old behavior where tapping the icon on the bar would always toggle the panel, regardless of its pinned state.
It could be more visually clear that the panel is pinned, perhaps a thin outline around it or something to show that its in that state would be a simpler way to clarify how it will act.

Shortucts behavious will not change

Oh ok! Maybe I misunderstood a bit. I thought those changes might have been a cause of the issue I reported where the hotkey would not hide the layers panel (other panels close just fine with hotkeys). Thanks for clarifying!

(iPad) When I use a filter like Gaussian Blur and exit without applying the filter, the interface will stay invisible and I have to restart to get it back.

New beta will all known bugs fixed is available in Testflight!
-
No more hickups in my workflow. :)

Panel toggling works with hotkeys as expected! Thanks for taking care of that one. 3.1 is feeling solid. Thank you!

Beta 3.1.637 now crash when trying to view layers.

You´re the best!!!

When saving a file to jpg, all the colors are changed. Happens in 3.0.24 and in beta. Way to reproduce:
- Paint anything
- Use different colors
- Save as jpg, any compression
- Create a new file from photo, use the image you just saved
- The color change should be noticeable right away, if not, use color picker, the HEX values changed (example, #252b31 becomes #262b31).
After doing this test many times also have a suggestion, seeing you added a "save and duplicate" option... could you add a "close and delete" one? i'd have less clutter in the app folder if this option existed.
And a "scaling" option for when exporting would be amazing, since canvas resizing, exporting, crossing fingers nothing goes wrong and i can undo the canvas resizing, doesn't seem like an optimal way of exporting anything
-
It is probably something wrong with Color Profile. We will try to fix it asap.
Workaround - assigne color profile manually after opening a photo (Image > Color Profile > Assign Profile...)
Close and Delete - rather not, sorry. I don't know any other app that has such option.
Scaling in Export dialog - we will consider that in the future.
-
We have just fixed loading color profile from photos. It will be released in 3.1.1

I found a small bug. When you go to set an aux color in the brush editior, the color panel pops up but when you close it and try to change the aux color again the color panel won't open again.
-
I cannot reproduce this, can you give more details?

It seems to happen when the brush panel is on the far right of the ipad screen. I think its appearing its just not showing up on the screen.

In Macos version of 3.1 I experience slower performance when using WARP on my Mac Mini M1. iPad version is a lot fluid and that makes the the process of warping more precise on both my iPad and M1. Software Macos and Metal Accelerated iPad?
-
Indeed. I will try to fix that.
Update: IT's fixed, it will be released in version 3.1.1
