Thanks Patrick.

Thanks MEB. I will do that. I know how much Affinity developers are busy and I woudn't like to push them but if this is not too complicated let they take such feature into consideration. This tool is great anyway

Are you in "Outline" view mode (CTRL+SHIFT+Y) ?

Hi John, I gueess I wasn't specific enough, sorry. What I meant was leaving bitmap untouched while going to outline view mode. Here is how it should look like : Setting a level of transparency for the pixel layer would be handy too as often bitmap is dark and then black lines would be hardly visible

Yes, that's what I can see now. It seems to be good candidate to feature requests, doesn't it ?

Hi guys, Is it possible in Affinity Designer to display layers with bitmap (or selected (Pixel) layer) being in outline mode ? It would be very handy while manual tracing in heavy files or to preview overlaping raw curves onto reference image.

I'm sorry guys. I meant Affinity Designer and my OS is Windows. @walt.farrell : Thanks for remaining about that option, I switched the option for a day of tests to check what's more comfortable @v_kyr : The answered most of my questions I was going to ask. Thanks, I must watch all these tutorial videos carefully again. @toltec : This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million :) This is my first post here and I can see going with Affinity series was a right choice. I didn't expect such a quick and substantive reaction. Thanks again.

Let's say I have a background layer with some big elements. On top of that I've got number of smaller elements that I want to select. When I start dragging a rectangle in order to cover desired elements it selects a background element and moves it accidentally. Doesn't matter if CTRL is held or not. I'm in Move Tool mode. I know I can lock layers which I want to exclude from selecting process but this is annoying especially when a background consists of many elements. Did I missed some obvious way of using selection ?
