I am talking about selecting all pixels on a Layer by clicking on the icon. And I'm using a Mac.

So I'm suggesting it as a new feature! Ability to subtract from a selection by clicking on a layer icon using a modifier key.

There doesn't seem to be a way to delete from the selection on the Mac. Normally it would be Command-Alt click on the layer but that doesn't do anything.

Thank you Walt, I see that you can add and subtract from a selection using one of the selection tools. And I'm really pleased to see you can add each layer to a selection by shift clicking on the layer icon, so that is great. But you can't remove from a selection by Alt-clicking on a layer icon can you? Is there any way to do that?

I cannot find any way to do this in Affinity Photo 2 but it seems a very basic requirement. I used it all the time in Photoshop. If it isn't a feature then it would be great if it could be added!
