Splay Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 The Marquee tool isn't working the way it used to. I used to select an area on a layer and cut/delete and it would delete that selection. Now it deletes the entire layer. I have tried everything, am I missing something? Windows 10, latest version Affinity 1.8.3 Jochum Berg 1 Quote
John Rostron Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Is your layer a (Pixel) layer or an (Image) layer. Check on the layer name. If it is an (Image) layer, then it is a single object and delete will delete the entire layer. Use Layer > Rasterise to convert an (Image) layer to a (Pixel) layer.

Jochum Berg Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 Sorry all nice folks at affinity but this is simply just amazingly stupid, why do you do this cumbersome thing??? Especially since the image was a pixel image it makes no sense to go all the way Layer - Rasterise before you erase something you have marqueed, and deletes the layer, stupid. Quote

To work directly with the pixels you need to do it differently than if it were a Pixel layer. loukash 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Jochum Berg Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 I must ponder on that little more, I'm used with Photoshop then that was straight forward Quote
