RosomakPL Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I have a problem with the "invert pixel selection" function. Actually there are two problems visible in the video I am uploading. 1. after filling the selection on the layer the view does not update and the filled shape remains invisible 2. after using "invert pixel selection" the selection is ruined and takes a strange shape I'm sending two AP files - start.afphoto - before test - after.afphoto - after test System: windows10, AP v1.9.2.1035 2021-07-05 11-13-57.mp4 after.afphoto start.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted July 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi @RosomakPL, Your selection is on Artboard 1, but you have Artboard 2 selected in the layer panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosomakPL Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 @Gabe Im sorry, my bad. But that only fixes problem #1. Sorry - obviously my mistake. Problem with "Invert pixel selection" remains.

Your video and "start2" file don't start early enough. How did you get artboards into the document in the first place? How did you create the pixel layer in Artboard1? Here, for example, is a complete selection of that pixel layer after the start2 file is Opened, and before doing anything other than making a complete pixel selection from it: It seems to be roughly the size of Artboard1, but not aligned with it, so we need to know everything from the File > New up until that point to understand your document. By the way, working with artboards in Photo can be tricky, in part due to bugs (some already reported) and in part because it will test (and improve) one's understanding of how pixel layers really work.

RosomakPL Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Ok, my story is: - I was working in Affinity Designer. - I created a new web/800x600 pixel document - I created 3 Artboards using the "Artboard Tool" - I placed them next to each other - I used the File / Edit option in Photo... - I created a pixel layer using "Add pixel Layer" icon in Layers palette- video starts from here I noticed that "Invert Pixel Selection" is not working properly in Affinity Photo After your comment actually, I noticed that when I : (working with file: after2.afphoto) - Delete the last layer, so that there are only 3 empty Artboards left - Select "Artboard2" or "Artboard1" in the Layers palette, - Press ctrl+a (to select all) it shows the selection of a virtual element, which does not exist. (attached image) I think that the problem is that Affinity Photo operates on bad coordinates which it receives from Affinity Designer. Perhaps the Information is not updated after moving Artboards and it's being passed incorrectly to Affinity Photo. So selections don't work properly.

Did you have an Artboard selected before you added the pixel layer? Or did you create it, and then drag it into the Artboard layer? Also, it seems from your description that you started out with a document that had a canvas and converted it to one that had artboards. Have you tried creating an artboard as part of the File > New process, rather than starting with a canvas?

RosomakPL Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 I've upgraded to version 1.10.0. Unfortunately, the problem persists and makes working with artboards difficult. Is it known when we can count on fixes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted August 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 25, 2021 I'm afraid we can't give ETAs for bug fixes. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
