Without being offensive, it is not a UI issue, since I have opened a new layer and selected the brush as intended. Thi issue is that the brush did not work. Closing and restarting Affinity a couple of times appeared to have rectified the problem in this instance. It is not ideal but I can continue to edit. Thank you.

I tried "Add a Pixel Layer" that didn't work. I then thought it would work if I duplicated the layer. Layers are created but there is nothing I can do on them. The brush settings do not matter, I have tried changing them. Do I open a layer, then select the brush tool. I tried this, but it did not work either. I started by duplicating the background layer then proceeding to clean up the image which worked fine. I then opened a pixel layer and tried to use the paint brush on some areas, but from this point, I can do no more adjustments on the image, whether I open a new pixel layer or duplicate the layer. I really cannot understand why! I did the same in GIMP and it worked just fine. Maybe in Affinity the procedure is different.

Followed all the steps. Opened a new pixel layer, painted over nothing happens. I have tried some recommended fixes, nothing doing. Very frustrating!

I have the same problem, and I am running the latest version, 2022. The hand tool came up when opening a new pixel layer and tried to use the inpainting tool. The hand won't go away and there is nothing I can do!
