Simultaneously patching overlapping images

[Pascal.Sch]

Hello,

I'm trying Affinity Photo and would like to know if it is possible to edit several (three in this case) images at the same time.
These images hold texture information for a 3D model, and are therefore all easily aligned.

There are some issues caused by holes in the texture that I'm trying to resolve using the Patch Tool, and was wondering if it was possible to apply this change on all three Images simultaneously. Each image using itself as the source and targeting the same spot on itself?

(Attached Image 1-3: Color, Normal, Ambient Occlusion --- Image 4: Desired Patch for all images)

The Answer is so simple that I didn't try it until now.
All you need to do is select every layer you want affected by the Patch Tool, then you only need to use the tool and it will do the same operation on all the images.

Interesting. I didn't realize it would clone from each layer into itself. Thanks for mentioning it.

Wow, i failed to recognize  that functionality, too.

seems to work universally for all brush tools and (destructive) filters.

I didn’t find a way to combine this with adjustment (always non-destructive, adding one layer atop / nested.
