Neek Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Hi, Running Affinity Photo here...I'm sure it's something very simple but I can find no way to paste content from one open doc to another. In one tab, I have a new Social Media Portrait Post created via File>New In another tab, I have a jpeg that opened and removed the background from. It is a single layer which has been rasterised. I can select the image using marquee. The selection can be cut and repasted into the same doc. But when I switch tabs to the Social Post, I can't paste. Nothing appears. If I copy and paste the layer from the jpeg, the layer is pasted (I see the name appear in the layers stack) but nothing is visible in that layer. Kinda losing my mind. Please help. Quote

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

The Navigator panel might help you find it if you pan around in that panel. Or, with the layer selected in the Layers panel, make sure you have the Move tool selected and check the X/Y position in the Transform panel.

Neek Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks for all the suggestions! I did think it might be outside my screen area at the time but zooming way out didn't reveal anything. However, I repeated my steps from last night to make a screen recording...and now it works. Good news! Must have been a gremlin in the system. Quote
