When I click on the Selection Brush Tool I get 3 concentric circles, which do nothing. I must have inadvertently modified the tool. How do I get the tool back to selecting? I have tried resetting in Preferences.

Thank you f or your prompt reply. Please try again. The pixel Selection tools is checked. Overlay is default. I press Q and paint with the Paint Selection Tool. I click Q, and no selection (ants) appears. Instead I get brush marks.

Help! When I have clicked on the Quick Mask as Overlay and then apply the Paint Brush Tool and then press Q, I do not get a selection (no marching ants). How do I get my selection to show?

Thank you so much. Your last sentence solved my problem.

I am not able to perform what is prescribed by the Moderator below because the (Pixel) suffix is not there. Also the line of titles - Adjustment Layers Effects Style and Stock are not showing. There are no Layers unless I click on History. The clone and other tools do not respond. Hi bwerne33, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Assuming you have the correct layer selected, check if it's a Pixel layer type (look at the label in parenthesis after the layer's name in the Layers panel). If it's identified as an Image* layer, right-click on the layer and select Rasterise... to convert it to a Pixel layer. Then you should be able to select and clone as you intended. I assume my problem lies in not having a complete Laters Panel. Note screenshot. Thank you.

I do not have an (image) or (pixel) layer type in the Layers Panel to right click and then to Rasterize. How can I restore this option? A green shot attached

There is no (pixel) suffix in the layers panel. How do I get it back?

How can I restore a pixel background layer to a jpeg photo. Affinity worked great for a while and then I did something to screw it up. I have spent countless hours trying to restore it to no avail
