Photo: Why do I have to rasterized pasted content?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I often grab some screenshots and start a new canvas based on the clipboard content.

But everytime I have to rasterize the image before I can work on.
Why do I have to rasterize it? Isn't it clear that the image has to be processed anyway?
This should be default.

Processed, yes, but not necessarily at the pixel level.

Make the assistant do that for you.

I don't think that works for all actions. It certainly doesn't work if you have an Image layer want to make a pixel selection from it to copy or cut or delete.

I'm just moving over to Photo from Adobe Photoshop, and I am prepared for things to work a little differently. But if I do "New From Clipboard", it is an annoying (and unintuitive) extra step to have to "Rasterize" the already-raster data that just came in from the clipboard. There should be a "Paste as pixels" option in the Preferences - and it should be the default - to avoid alienating every user coming from any other package. This issue wasted me hours and almost had me uninstalling my trial version.

There is the Help, F1 key, and an online help, where you'll find a lot of information in there like what the New from Clipboard does

Please, PLEASE, PlEaSe consider making this an optional setting. Going through somewhat 200 icons and non-stop have to do 'manual' labour seems so ... silly.

 

Please reconsider updating Affinity Photo 2 with this option.

 

All the best,

 

Jake
