duplicate with active pixel selection iPad vs Desktop


Recommended Posts

is there any reason why duplicate with active pixel selection

  • on iPad: duplicates the pixel layer, ignoring selection
  • on Desktop: duplicates selected area into new pixel layer

None that I can think of!

I have a feeling that I’ve seen both the behaviour that you describe and the behaviour that we both expect, but I’m not sure what would account for the difference.

Ah my confirmation bias. If you know Desktop, and see the same functionality on iPad, you expect it to work the same way. Thanks.

Then, Duplicate on iPad should be renamed “Duplicate Layer” to avoid this misunderstanding

Are you saying that the selection is never ignored if you do it that way? :/
