Seemoore77 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hi, Just purchased this app and have been exploring the tools for a couple of days now. I've been working on editing a photo for practice and have made many alterations. For some reason none of the healing tools will work on this particular photo. I can choose the tool and take the steps all the way to where it should make the edit and nothing happens. Things I have tried to fix it:Restarting Restarting with "Control" key and choosing clear Choosing other photos (this works) This a bit discouraging as this is the one photo I was looking forward to editing when I purchased the app. It is most likely operator error but can you guide me on what I am doing wrong please?Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 30, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hi Craig, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Make sure the layer type you are working with is a Pixel layer. You can identify the type of layer looking at the label between parenthesis after layer's name in the Layers panel. If it's an (Image) layer, right-click on it and select Rasterise.... You should now be able to edit it with the healing tools. An Image layer is an object layer type - you can transform it "globally" (scale, rotate, skew etc) but you can't edit it at a pixel level. A Pixel layer is a "container" for performing pixel based operations. fred reichardt 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
