mdruziak Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 How do I fill in a corner like this: With Photoshop this is pretty easy using the content aware fill. But with Affinity, I can't get any tools to work in the clipped area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimGoshorn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Content aware tools just analyze the image and fill the area by cloning. It may be automatic but it isn't magic. Use the clone tool and do it manually. Remember to duplicate the layer or set the clone tool to current layer and below so if you don't like how it came out, you can still have an original to go back to.

mdruziak Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Jim thanks for the response. While that wasn't exactly the answer it helped me find the answer. Apparently if you are filling in an area that didn't exist in the original image using any of the tools, you need to do your editing on an empty layer above the layer and set the tool to current layer and below. For some crazy reason, if you duplicate the layer and set the tools to current and below, the tools still don't work. But if you edit on an empty layer above the image layer (or even the duplicated layer) the tools will work in the area of the image that is empty (checkerboard). Thanks again!

JimGoshorn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Interesting to know. That's why I gave you both choices :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
