  2. Hi

     

    I looked at the FAQ list and this is a more hands-on subject, but it's still a real FAQ:

     

    Time and again new users ask in the questions forum * why they can't get the inpainting brush tool (and others) to work. The answer is: you have a wrong layer selected.

     

    I'm quite sure the question arises so often because some adjustments (like levels) create a correction layer without the user noticing. So it also affects people who aren't actively using layers yet.

     

    Feature request: could you add a warning when people try to use inpainting on a wrong layer?

     

     

     

    * and this are the ones bothering to register in the forum and start a thread

  3. > wanting this to be a different tool

     

    Me too.

     

    I'd like to do exactly what Leigh does in the video - my difficulty is that the colour replacement brush doesn't work on white / grey / black / other little saturated colours.

     

    I learned some workarounds with the help of other forum members, but still would like the colour replacement brush to live up to its name ;)

    Hang in there, it's worth it! See for example http://manuschwendener.ch/2015/12/23/affinity-photo-dodge-tool

     

    > I am having the same issue

    > Impainting brush, healing brush, blemish removal brush

     

    If you're new to Affinity Photo and - as I am! - new to working with layers, maybe try the inpainting brush etc. as the first step after opening a picture in AP. 

     

    Like this you'll get the hang of it and know what to look for when it's disabled.

    A very usual workflow for me is:

    - I open a picture

    - I crop it

    - In the right hand column I click Adj for Adjustments

    - I click on Levels

    - I drag the Gamma slider to left left to make the picture brighter

    - I close the popup from the Levels adjustment
     

    - Now I want to remove some of the branches using the Inpainting brush tool

    -> Inpainting brush has no effect whatsoever :(
     

    Solution (see screenshot): 

    - In the right hand column I have to switch from the Adjustment tab to the Lyr. tab

    - Here I see that the (Levels Adjustment) layer is active <- which AP created and made active without my knowing

    - All I have to do now is click on Background (Pixel) so this is blue and the (Levels Adjustment) isn't blue any longer

    -> Inpainting Brush Tool is working again
