DC9V Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) 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? Edited December 17, 2019 by DC9V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9V Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 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.

Joachim_L Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 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.

markw Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 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.

DC9V Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 supplementing Turns out, I was trying to edit a PDF. (I wasn't actually working on that screenshot of Shakespeare.) I should have turned it into an image file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
