SourBeerFan Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi I’m new to Affinity Photo having recently got a IPad Pro 12.9 2020. When I try to refine selection I just keep getting a red layer and can’t do anything? Is it something I’m doing wrong? On some tutorials I’ve been following it doesn’t happen. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLC Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi @SourBeerFan, welcome to the forums. Since it's Refine Selection feature, You have to create a magic wand or lasso or other kind of selection first, then you can refine it 😉 I am sorry, the first image showing marching ants selection loaded after I posted my answer, weird. Must be connection issue at my end etcg. This is weird, a moderator should look at it trying to reproduce. My 1.8.3 works as expected, I haven't updated to 1.8.4 because since 1.8 I always wait watching the forums until I'm 100 per cent sure it's safe to update.

Staff Dan C Posted August 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi @SourBeerFan/Steve Can you please provide a screenshot showing the Layers Studio open? I suspect either a) the correct layer is not selected or b) the layer needs rasterising before you can refine the selection. Many thanks in advance!

SourBeerFan Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I’ll screenshot the layers tonight as currently at work. I’m new to Affinity so how would I check if the layer has been rasterised? Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the layer has been rasterised is label will state 'Pixel' layer, else it will say 'Image'. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Paul Mudditt Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 @sourbeerfan That is odd behaviour. Whenever you get odd behaviour with an iPad, one of the first things to try is firstly close all apps, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up app switcher and swipe up each app to close it. Then perform a forced restart. On your iPad version press volume up then volume down in quick succession then press and hold the power button continuously until you see the Apple logo.https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/ipad/ipad63d30b5a/ios Let us know if that fixes it.

SourBeerFan Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just tried that and still nope. First time it did it I deleted the app and downloaded it again and it worked for the first picture I did and then stopped working again.
