Old Bruce Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hi and welcome to the forums @Kian Kim, You may be trying this on an {image) layer instead of a(Pixel) layer. Or you may not have a pixel layer selected, check your layers panel.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolwis111 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hi there, I am having the exact same problem. The 'Inpaiting tool' tool just stopped working from one day to another. I have not changed anything at all, i tried restarting the software multiple times, clicking all the reset buttons in the preferences panel. I checked that the layer is selected and i also check that it is an pixel layer (i even clicked on 'Rasterise...', just to make sure), but it still does not work. I am running version 1.8.3 on macOS Catalina 10.15.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure in the context toolbar that neither the brush Opacity nor Flow somehow got set to zero & that the brush Width & Hardness are large enough that you can easily see the results.

Lolwis111 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I also verified that, i have a opacity/hardness/flow of 100% and tried widths ranging from 25 to 250px. But no visible effect appears on the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolwis111 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I tried multiple images including tifs, pngs and jpgs. Also different sizes of images, but none of them work. I probably just changed some tiny stetting by accident, because a few days ago it was working just fine, but i can't find which one it would be. I checked all the things people recommend when this tool doesn't work (select the layer, make sure its a pixel layer, flow greater 0 and so on).

carl123 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Ok, can you upload a full size screenshot showing the layers panel and the Inpainting tool selected Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

AffinityJules Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 A screen capture of the tools/layers panel and the image may help.

Lolwis111 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 So i just made a quick screen recording of my Affinity Photo when trying to use the Inpainting Tool. Maybe someone can spot my mistake!

That’s what happens if you’ve customized the tools so that you have a separate Inpainting Brush Tool icon in addition to the original one which is grouped with other brush tools.

That's a new one on me! The thing to know now is whether or not they BOTH work? Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe.

smadell Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Very strange! Two things: 1) I can get Affinity Photo to act like this if I open an image, un-check all the editing abilities (the "pencil" icons) in the Channels panel, and then try to use the Inpainting tool. I don't know why the photo would open without the ability to edit the red, green, and blue channels. But, can we see a screenshot of your Channels panel? 2) If all else fails, quit AP and then re-open it with the Control key held down. This will reset the app, and might help. A last ditch method, and without much nuance, but sometimes it's the only thing that corrects a really weirdo problem like this. It will also get rid of custom brushes, swatches, and so forth so make sure you back them up.

JimmyJack Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 @Lolwis111 Set your accumulation in the More panel to 100% (... or at least a bunch higher). (The reset button only resets changes made in that particular panel session) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one solved it! Not sure why i changed it in the first place, can this happen accidentally? Is there a shortcut or something? Anyway, i put it on 100% now and it works again! Also the red-brush-mask thing has a much stronger red now. Thanks everyone for your help! Appreciate it!
