Jowday Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It seem the clone tool also picks up something from outside the document area. I discovered that when I accidentally move the mouse outside. A somewhat laggy demo screen recording: This however, could be pasted into post. I ALT-clicked outside to the left and painted towards and over the document area. "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

Staff MEB Posted November 20, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi Jowday, Is that blue coming from a Fill Layer and is the background of your document non-transparent (white)? Cloning from outside the canvas would paint with black in the built-in mask of the Fill Layer leaving the background color of the canvas visible (white). Can you confirm that's the layer construct you have please? Jowday 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't the area outside the canvas be ... empty and thus not play any role? "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
