hansgrant Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) 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 hans Edited December 29, 2019 by hansgrant Quote
h_d Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 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...
