Ah. Now you see I finally got somewhere! All these tutorials and written tutorials online and that simple description seems to evade them. The right click is a little fiddly to achieve on my tablet (I got rid of the mouse a while ago now as there were too many issues between the mouse, the tablet and my iPad. I have also found just using the tablet makes it harder for other household members to get at my computer as I am always carrying the stylus) Thank you very much for the help.

I've been following the vimeo tutorials, but I am having a little trouble with the cutting of a piece of an image to put into another. As I understand it, it should be a reasonably simple procedure of simply selecting the area that I want to paste in the other picture, copying it, then pasting it in the new picture. I have been trying to do this, using the selection brush, but so far it's just been pasting the entire picture that I am trying to cut or copy from. It's getting kinda frustrating, because I have been trying to do this simple thing for the past year, with no success. I need to be able to do this for a business I run (I need to be able to show the product, not whatever the heck is in the background). Time is running out, and I am on the verge of saying 'stuff it', deleting Affinity and getting Photoshop instead, as I simply have no more time to waste on the matter. This should be a very very very simple procedure, but as yet I have got nowhere. I have viewed every single tutorial out there on the matter, read every article, tried what they have said, and gotten absolutely nowhere. I am a little annoyed because I have spent good money on this product, and I cannot get it to do what I want. I am no stranger to computers, or graphics design. I have used them extensively, focusing on programming and graphics design since primary school and I am 40 years of age. I repeat, this should be a simple case of cut and paste, but has not been the case at all. Some tutorials mention Background Layers, that appear upon importing an image to a newly opened file. I have been simply dragging, dropping and arranging images onto the canvas, so whether that does something different I don't know At a bit of a last ditch effort here, don't want to waste any further time on the matter and would hate to think that this application had ended up being a total waste of my money.
