Hi dear Community members :)

 

I have a problem with the Pen Tools. The selection Button is missing. I don´t know if it was there before, as I did not use it until now.

But I realized, it is not there ! I did a little research and found out, that the Button should be there where the question mark is on the screenshot ( it is in German, but the UI is the same).

I already closed the path, leave it open, looked in the studio settings. Couldn´t find anything that helps me. It does not work neither in Publisher nor in Designer.

thx in advance.

Thank you for your answer. But that was not the question. h_d already seems to be right, it looks like it is a only Photo tool

What @Pšenda means is in the Settings section in the Designer help topic there is no mention of Mask or Selection but there is in the Photo help topic.

I think you can still get a selection from a (filled) shape in Designer by switching to the Pixel Persona and CTRL+Click on the layer's thumbnail in the Layers panel

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.

Ctrl-click on Windows, Cmd-click on macOS.
