LeonardLevy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm a new user to Affinity Photo and am having trouble doing something incredibly simple. I just want to remove a portion of my image , then select another portion and move it over to fill up the area that the removed space occupied. Basically just making something a little shorter . I don't have any trouble removing the first part but can't seem to move the replacement section. First I'm using the rectangular marquee to grab a selection then have tried going to both the pointer and alternatively to the hand icons and in both cases nothing happens at all - no movement. What am I doing wrong? I'm on an iMac BTW Mojave plenty of memory and power. Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted December 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2020 After making your selection use Edit > Copy, then hit Backspace to delete the selection. Now CMD+D to deselect. Now use Edit > Paste, this will create a new layer, now you can use the Move Tool on that layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
