AspiringMCC Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi, I am very new to Affinity, and have been trying out some tutorials. I find that I don't seem to have an Inpatient Tool. When I check on the menu, the inpaint tool is greyed out. Can someone please explain how I get access to this tool Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi AspiringMCCWelcome to the forums! :)Make sure you have the correct layer selected in the Layers panel, then try the Inpainting Brush Tool again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi AspiringMCC, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) The Inpainting Tool is only available in the Photo Persona (first icon on the top left of the interface right below the traffic lights). To access it, click on the small triangle near the Healing Brush Tool (the 6th icon counting from bottom) then select it from the popup menu (it's the second icon counting from bottom). As JFisher said you must have a Pixel layer selected for it to work (not an adjustment or live filter layer or some other layer type). To identify which type of layer you are working with check the label inside parenthesis after the layer's name. If the layer you want to work with is identified as an (Image) layer, right click on it in the layers panel and select Rasterise. You can then use the Inpainting Brush on that layer.
