  1. Selection is something crucial in design software and should be intuitive and easy but at the moment it is very difficult to perform certain tasks when a project becomes complex. Example: I have an object which contains multiple objects inside of it, maybe houndreds, thousands and I have no way to find where they are located in the layers panel. On the canvas I can clearly see where they are and the simplest way to select them would be via a rectangle or lazzo selection, but "Hey, they're located inside of an object, so I can't, unless clicking on them one by one, but again, they're houndreds, thousands... so my only way to go at the moment is loosing that couple hours just to select multiple objects located inside of other objects. In complex projects, often imported from some other software, it's so frequent to get multiple objects stack inside others and in such an unorganized wayt that it's impossible to manage everything by hand. A very convenient way of selecting is offered in 3D modeling software such as Rhinoceros and the same system is also adopted in AutoCAD: When you draw a selection rectangle from left to right you select every object which is completely enclosed in the rectangle, but when you draw the selection rectangle from right to left you select every object that intersects the rectangle. Having something similar in AD and the others would be highly recommended! The image attatched doesn't represent a complex situation, but illustrates a very simple case. Imagine having thousands of separate lines here and there among the layers and you only need to select some of those and maybe some of the circles inside of the box. The most intuitive way would be to draw a selection rect all around the pieces of interest, and eventually adding more of such selections by pressing shift as always, but this is not possible at the moment, so please, work on this feature. It'd be a game changer. Thank you in advance for the attention and good work!
  2. Affinity Photo Beta: I wanted to remove a sign post and man walking. I placed a rectangle around the sign post, no problem. I located the Inpainting brush and painted over the selection. The Inpainting began working but left a ghost of the sign. I repeated the Inpainting but first checked that Opacity was at 100%. The Inpainting began working but left a ghost again. I tried a third time but now the Inpainting copied an area adjacent to the sign and placed it in the rectangle. I tried again with a different photo and got the same result. I changed the technique by using the Selection Brush tool and then the Inpainting brush. Identical result right down to ghosts and on the third attempt I got a copy of an adjacent area. Please advise.
