Cannot remove alpha areas after crop resize


Recommended Posts

I am using the latest version of Affinity Photo for Mac Desktops (1.8.6). Seems that I can no longer "inpaint" alpha areas that result from cropping, straightening, etc. I am sure that I'm working on an unlocked Pixel layer (TIFF scans). I apply a crop (3x2 aspect ratio), adjust often leaving alpha areas around the borders of the image. 

I used to Rasterize and Trim(?). Then Select Partially Transparent (alpha range). I get the dancing ants. Great. Then I Grow that selected area by 1 to 2 px. Then I attempt to Inpaint (from the Edit Menu). Affinity acts as though it's doing something, but the alpha area(s) remain.

Again, it's been a while since I have had to do this and I'm assuming that I'm missing a simple step. 

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
