joshua1187 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello! I've been using affinity photo for about 2 years at least now. Recently I've been trying to cut only part of my project using the wand or any other selection/masking tool. i think last week it worked fine. now instead of cutting the selected portion it cuts the entire picture. I've repaired and reinstalled photo and still the same problem. Tested this on GIMP and it worked fine. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I guess you try to cut from an image layer instead of a pxiel layer. Rasterise the layer and you can cut the selection.
