Hi,

I watched some tutorials about the topic "how to release a object from a image". And it says to use magic stick. I can select something from the image. But if I press "delete" or "cut" the whole image is gone and not only the selection. If I use copy, nothing from the image will be copied. 

I have only one level of the image (in affinity photo)

What is wrong?

Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome!

Can't be sure without a screen shot, but it sounds as though you're working on a placed image layer, not a pixel layer.

You'll need to rasterise the layer:

This will convert it to a Pixel layer.

And the 'magic wand' or Flood Select Tool should now work as expected:

Hope this helps...
