Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

It sounds like you're working with an Image layer rather than a Pixel layer. You can check that in the Layers panel. In that case, before doing the Copy, you could Rasterize the layer (Layer > Rasterize, or right-click it in the Layers panel) so you can access individual pixels.

Or, instead of Cmd+C, try Edit > Copy Merged (probably Cmd+Shift+C).

thanks for replying, it's the original layer of the photo so I thought it would already be a pixel layer

[create new layer from selection]

hello,   I'm trying to a create new layer from selection.  I make make my selection with the selection brush and then hit  Command C and Command V.

The new layer is just an exact copy . It's suppose to be just the selection.

I'm new to Affinity Photo and thinking maybe I have something wrong in my settings.

Any help would be really appreciated,  thanks
