Selection Tool Issue on Macbook Pro M1

Recommended Posts

I am currently facing the following issues on my Macbook Pro M1:

1. Unable to select, using the flood selection tool. Instead of selecting the desired selection using the trackpad, the tolerance toggle keeps moving and no selection is made

2. Background eraser tool doesn't work properly, sometimes it erases the items in the background, other times it just ignored the selection

I will try this on my new Macbook Pro M1 this evening - coming back later for info if this occur on my M1 also...

I can’t see any misbehavior from Affinity Photo (Apple Silicone compilation) concerning Magic Wand or Background Eraser tool?

In another thread someone have problem with crashes when using Transform tool and try to resize a layer with transparency below 100% - can’t even reproduce that on my new Macbook Pro M1...

Do you run Affinity Photo latest version, universal build?

Make sure you have the layer selected in the Layers panel or else you will see exactly what you have described - i.e. just the tolerance changing

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
