Smee Again Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I make a selection on the background layer and want to copy that selection to another layer and place it on another area on the canvas. Then I want to mirror it horizontally on that other layer. Not possible in Affinity, well not anymore that is. Now I get a new layer with the entire background image in place. Exactly the same as if I presset <CTRL> + J. Is this a bug, or deliberate? If deliberate, what purpose does it serve? If I make a selection on a background layer and go to <Edit> <Cut>, rather than removing the selected area, it removes the entire layer. Is this a bug, or deliberate? Again, if deliberate, what purpose does it serve? 2 different computers, same problem. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Check to see if the background layer is a Pixel Layer and not an Image layer. The right side of the Layer name defines what type of layer. For example To copy selections, it needs to be a pixel layer.
