Eric80 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It seems like copying a selection of a layer isn't possible. When I: 1. create a selection 2. edit > copy 3. create new layer 4. edit > paste I paste the entire layer instead of only the piece of the selection. Would be great to have though!

Alfred Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Eric. The behaviour that you’ve described suggests that you’re working on an ‘Image’ layer, a special type of layer that treats a collection of pixels as a single object. To work at the pixel level (e.g. copying selected pixels) it needs to be a ‘Pixel’ layer: right-click on the layer in the Layers panel and choose ‘Rasterize’ to convert it.
