How to modify a Selection


Recommended Posts

I am new to Affinity Photo, and have watched the tutorials and read the program Help file in detail.  Must have missed something though . . .  

After making a selection in a photo, how do I modify just the selection?  Do I create a layer?  If so, how?  This seems so basic, but I can't find where the instructions are nohow to do it.  The video tutorial on Making Selections and Refining them, just don't explain what to do with them.  What have I missed?  Any assistance on how to proceed would be most appreciated.

Hi FlyingCapt,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Press Q to Enter in Quick Mask Mode (or press the Quick Mask icon/button on the main toolbar on top) then transform the selection using the Move tool. You can scale, rotate, skew etc using the bounding box control handles (mouse-over them coming from the exterior of the selection until the cursor changes its icon to perform the respective operations).
