Hello. 

Hopefully somebody can help me, I work in Designer. I made an selection in one image, for collage a selected the head of a person. I cut/copy the selection. When I past it in another file open at the same moment, I past the whole image and not the selection of the head only. I saw in a previous post, the information below, but because it is Photo and not Designer, I can not Rasterise. So can somebody help me please how to rasterise, or make a selection in a pixel layer? Thank you in advance. 

You can't have two images open simultaneously but you can copy from one and paste on another. To do it create your selection as usual - make sure you are working with a pixel layer type - look at the label above the layers name (in small letters, all caps) in the Layers studio. If it says Image instead of Pixel you have to convert it to a Pixel layer first. To do this tap the ellipsis icon on the top of the interface in Photo Persona and select Rasterise ▸ Rasterise. Not that you have a pixel layer and the selection created, tap the ellipsis icon (Photo Persona) and select Pasteboard ▸ Copy. Tap the <- icon to go to Affinity Photo Welcome Screen and select the image where you want to paste the copied selection to open it. Tap the ellipsis menu (Photo Persona) and select Pasteboard ▸ Paste. Your (copied) selection should be pasted on the second document as a new layer.

Hello @Luuk and welcome to the forums.

I don't know the user interface of the Ipad, but there should be an icon similar to the one in my screenshot. If you select the PhotoPersona you should also be able to rasterise.

The following recording shows how to do this in Designer. Obviously taking more care results in a better outcome🙂
