No Visible "Selection" or "Mask" Buttons after using pen tool on Affinity Photo (using Affinity Publisher Suite)
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Posted
Hi there,
I'm using Affinity Publisher Suite, with all three Affinity programs working together (Publisher, Designer and Photo)
I've used the Pen tool to make a selection and have gone to the Affinity Photo component, but I am unable to turn it into a Selection. All the internet advice shows there are two little buttons in the Context Toolbar saying "Mask" and "Selection", but I do not have these buttons. I am also unable to activate them by customising the Context Toolbar - they are not given as options.
Are there tools missing from Affinity Photo when you use it via the Suite? If so, how would I get my pen tool selection to convert to a Selection? (I have tried command-clicking on the relevant layer, but this just transforms the pen nodes into a thin line, but does not allow me to "select" it either.)
Thanks for any help.
