Aarontocreate Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I've used Affinity Photo for several attempted projects, and the one issue I'm having is the ability to move a selection. I am logging this as a bug because if I make a selection with the rectangle tool I can press the SHIFT key and it will lock into being a 1:1 square, so the action of the shift+drag+select=1:1 square tool works as it does in Ps. Now if I need to move that selection around on the screen, I would normally just hold the SPACE bar and it would enable me to move the selection. Can you point me to adjusting the quick-keys to work in this way, or if this is a bug that can be fixed? Quote
Staff DWright Posted January 6, 2020 Staff Posted January 6, 2020 To move your selection area move your mouse cursor into the selection area so that the cursor changes to the move icon then press and hold the mouse button then drag the selection to the required position and then release the mouse button Quote

One of several different marquee selection tool icons should appear when you move the cursor inside the selection area: indicates either the New or Intersect mode (at least on Macs) is selected indicates the Add mode is selected indicates the Subtract mode is selected Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.7 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
