NotAnnoyingKaren Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I have an Artboard I placed an image (Png with a transparent background) I creates a pixel layer When I go to Pixel Persona, no tools are working. I was trying to erase some pixel from the .png The app crashes or freezes From there, I open the app back on: Add a new pixel layer, Pixel Personal > Erase/brush not working Changing brush color not working also I go to the Vector menu, I can’t add a form/curve (square, triangle, etc...) Also, it will be nice to limit the grid in the Artboard only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. It looks like you created a pixel layer on top of the PNG's Image layer. But if you're wanting to erase from that layer, you want to working on the PNG, not on a layer above it. So: Don't create the pixel layer. But, to work on the pixels of the PNG it can't be an Image layer. It needs to be a Pixel layer. So you will need to Rasterize that PNG layer.

NotAnnoyingKaren Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi! So I tried to rasterize my image, it takes forever, and the app crashes... I selected my image layer, Rasterize in the menu on top, then the progression bar appears, After it loads, the screen turns black and the app closes (see screenshot below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest a hard reset to clear ram and don’t have any other apps open as iOS will allocate ram to those background apps. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Staff Sean P Posted June 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hi NotAnnoyingKaren, Without seeing the original document I cannot be sure, but it looks like you're current document size in pixels is huge. It is likely this reason that it is struggling to rasterise. The same would also be true if you try to use the eraser or any other pixel tool - it will attempt to rasterise the layer, but the size required is likely to large to fit in the iPad's memory.
