loukash Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 24 minutes ago, Alfred said: extra steps may not be acceptable Speaking of "extra steps"… What I have always found annoying is that if you open an image in Photoshop (CS5.1 being the last version I'm still using), it's a locked background layer. So to cut & move a marquee selection to create a transparent alpha "hole", you must: select the command to convert a background layer to a regular layer with alpha capability (using a keyboard shortcut, hence I'm giving it just one step) confirm the modal dialog window that appears make a marquee cmd-drag In APh: make a marquee cmd-drag But perhaps it's just me.

Firstly, it's not just me, but the OP and others on this thread. I've tried to illustrate what they're asking for (and I'm still not sure I've done them any favours by trying to do so). I chose to illustrate with a really simple version of the 'exercise' as an example, in order the demonstrate the 'problem' of umpteen actions instead of just a few. The exercise I chose to illustrate it could possibly be automatically in-filled. I appreciate your suggestion @GarryP Mostly, though, these exercises involve something a bit more.... a lot of selecting and drag copying different parts, to different positions.

Doesn't double-clicking on the layer turn it to an editable one?

ashf Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 This should have the same behavior as Photoshop. I don't like to leave empty space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnilo Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I don't think I should be here, but I am. Ditched Adobe completely, but I'm having some bumps on the road trying to adapt to AP. I'm having the same problem, I'm trying to simply duplicate a selection, with a simple Cmb+Option. That's all I want to do. I don't want to duplicate a layer then move then merge it down, and the suggestion of that process is as ridiculous as printing my layers, cutting them with my scissors, rearrange them and take a photo to return to Affinity Photo. PLEASE, it's a simple request that won't affect any kind of functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
