Yes I have seen this - this is really nice, I really appreciate, thanks!

Thanks! No I did not try it myself yet... It would be nice if Serif offered a way to recover their corrupted files.. So the file is clearly corrupted now, but the layer I wanted to keep is intact, thanks!!

Thanks for your answer; I don't own Publisher, but I might download the trial just for that and try it.

Hello, I was about to buy Affinity Photo but just experienced a corrupted afphoto file... Yes, it was saved on a USB drive, but I have been using this drive for the past month with no problems with PTGui and Photoshop... I have very rarely experienced corrupted files in the last 20 years I think... so I am a bit disappointed here... Well, I would be curious to know how I could attempt to fix the file myself; in fact I don't care about the photo layers, the only one I want to keep is the text one Thanks for any guidance on how to solve this, and more importantly, how to avoid this in the future? I guess one answer will be to use a local disk, and only copy to USB when work is finished Still loving Affinity but.. template_cliquez_ici_pour_pano.afphoto

Hello, for the first time, with 2.1.1 as well now, I have the same issue. I was just about to buy Affinity Photo, but I did not have a single corrupted psd file for the last 20 years, and here it was very quick so I am a bit unsure. Yes I am saving to a USB drive; but I have been using this drive with no issues with many other programs... I am screwed as I did backup this file... but the backup is corrupted as well, ahah

yes, thanks, I edited my answer above; it is indeed working, now I have all the pieces of the puzzle, million thanks!!

Hi Carl, thanks for your answer; these steps are exactly what I did ... but I don't get the "when you move it over it" that seems to be exactly what I need. Once "pasted", what tool do you use to "move" the pasted image and make it snap? EDIT: no way, it worked!! In fact, as the initial selection disappears, and as it can snap at various places, I thought it was not working, but it is. Thanks, thanks!! So now the workflow is way faster!

Thanks David! So I was not too far with my idea of snapping, cool! Now I just have to try it; even if it is some extra operations, this is acceptable I guess. EDIT: well it works, but man, what a convoluted process, instead of just... "Ctrl-V" !!

Just thinking that maybe if you could use markers, and then move the "pasted" image so that it can be easily "snapped", that would be ok. But I did not find anything that really works...

Hello, I searched the forum and internet, but did not find any good answer to this question. I am used to old Photoshop from more than 10 years ago, and Affinity looks like a good replacement. But some basic operations seems really complex. So the scenario is: - I open a photo - I select a part of my image that I must export as a JPG so an external (AI) program can process it => for that, I use the recangle marquee tool and use "new from clipboard", then export, it works nicely - I process my "part of image" - now I want to paste it back exactly where I cut it from. My marquee tool selection is still visible. I just want to paste something here, right here. But I can't it seems. Tried different methods, none works. With PS, I just... paste and that's all. So I have to move the pasted layer, zoom in to the maximum to be sure it is pixel precise... so a big waste of time. This is too bad because I am doing this tons of times... the process could be ultra fast if only you could paste where your selection is... If not possible, this is a total show stopper for me, I use this "paste in place" so many times when using external AI to retouch parts of my image... I am really looking for solutions, thanks !
