Jawbones Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have used photoshop for a long time and do a lot of photo mods but I cannot work out how to capture a part of a photo and place in the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 affinity uses a totally different way, focussing on non-destructiveness. While it is possible to use selection and drag that area within a pixel layer (after activating move tool), the Affinity way would be make selection copy if you want the selected area deleted, delete it (or create a mask, invert it) paste (creates a new layer) choose move tool Move layer to target position. if you want the layers combined, use merge down. This requires the source layer to be of type pixel. If it’s of type I age, rasterize it. this might look like many more steps, but has its advantages of not deleting anything and allowing to re-adjust anytime later. It is a major design principle where Affinity differs from other Apps who don’t offer this level of non-destructiveness.
