I'm stupid. I used paint. Now i'm using Affinity Designer. Why is it so hard to cut out a f**king region? Why is it greyed out? Just cut that! Can someone please help me?

Welcome to the forums.
Designer is a ‘mixed materials’ application that can handle vectors and rasters so it might not work the way you expect it to depending on exactly what you are doing and what you want to do.
Can you give a specific visual example of what you have and what you want to do with it?

Thanks for your reply. I've marked the word "tragedies". Now i just want to cut it out, to either place it somewhere else, or to simply remove it from the picture.

Look at the Layers Panel, normally on the right hand side, Layers have names like (Image), (Pixel), Mask) if the layer has (Image) to the right of the layer name you need to Right click and select rasterise. you should now be able to select the layer and select > copy & paste.

It would also be appreciated if you please not swear on the forum, asterisked or not. :)

DC9V was trying to do this in AD and AD has no Healing tool AFAIK. In the end it is the choice of the right tool: AD, AP, APu.

Whilst there may not be a Clone Tool in Designer it can be done easily enough via Copy/Paste of different areas from the document, which is more or less what the Clone Tool affectively dose.
I would use the Freehand Selection Tool to avoid dead strait lines and so help the “cloned” areas blend in better.
As mentioned before by firstdefence, make sure make sure you are working on a Pixel layer and not an Image layer first.
Example attached.

Turns out, I was trying to edit a PDF. :7_sweat_smile:  (I wasn't actually working on that screenshot of Shakespeare.)

I should have turned it into an image file.
