koryrussell Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I was working on rectors and noticed a layer was stuck on the canvas... Not staying in the layers studio. When I export it does not show up on the final image, but shows up on any new document. I've attached a screenshot. Also, now the pixel brush won't work at all on any project. I was working with the vector pencil tool when the problem occurred. Outside of this I don't know what I did to create the issue. The assistant is turned on, and I am drawing with the pixel brush on a pixel layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted December 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi koryrussell, Your screenshot shows a Layer 'ghost' that can appear if you're moving a layer and change studio whilst dragging the layer, or if you try and drag and drop between documents. If you fully close the app down and reopen it does it go away? Regarding not being able to draw on a Pixel layer are you able to capture a video recording of this behaviour please. Screen recordings make it much easier for us to understand what is going on. Unfortunately your screenshot doesn't give any hint as to why you can't draw on a pixel layer.

koryrussell Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 FullSizeRender.mov Thanks Sean, it did go away when I closed the app and reopened it. I added a screen recording. Maybe that will help with the pixel brush deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted December 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi koryrussell, You have 'Protect Alpha' enabled. This will stop you from drawing on any area of a pixel layer that doesn't have data - so with a blank layer it means you won't be able to draw anything. If you disable this you should be ok. It is intended to help stop you accidentally from drawing into the area of a pixel layer that doesn't contain any pixel information - for example on an image that is already cut out - it prevents you from ruining your clean edges. Unfortunately it does catch a lot of people out! Apologies I didn't spot it in your first image! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koryrussell Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thanks again Sean. I didn't realize I had that enabled. I’ve got a lot to learn about this still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
