enginestar Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have an image. I want to select a part of it and paste it onto the image. Imple. Except not. I select the rectangular marquee and make my selection. CTRL C. And then paste. The WHOLE image gets pasted. What am I doing wrong? I saw a youtube video. The guy does the same - except it works differently. Out of despration, I open a new version of the image. I crop to the part I need. Select all, Copy. Go tot he other image and paste. DAMN. Similar results. EDIT: I am having to use Windows Paint and copy and paste the parts I need. Crazy. HELP! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted December 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hi enginestar It sounds as though you are editing an (Image) layer and not a (Pixel) layer. To convert an (Image) to a (Pixel) layer, simply right-click it in the Layers Panel and select Rasterise. After this, you should be able to copy and paste sections of the image. I hope this helps! enginestar 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

v_kyr Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 BTW it's always best to say for which App and OS you try to use this then, had to look into your former posts to identify APhoto here. - However, see here for an opened JPG image as a pixel layer ... screencast.mp4 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginestar Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hmmm Thanks Dan I'll give that a go. @v_kyr I think Dan sussed it out. I had an image and not pixels. See the screen shot below. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Obviously you had a placed/ embedded image, which is then treated as a whole image object instead. enginestar 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
