PaintNut Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 When I make a selection from a shape and then invert the selection, the selection just disappears. Here is a video I made showing what I am talking about. Affinity Photo - Invert Pixel Selection Issue.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, how did you "invert the selection" at that point?

Staff Chris B Posted December 15, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 15, 2022 Can you reproduce this on a new document? If not, it might be worth attaching this one with its history saved so we can poke it. I cannot reproduce this on my Windows builds.

SrPx Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Windows 10 pro, v 22H2, using Photo beta 2.0.3 1670 . I can't either reproduce the issue. In the past, in Photoshop (maybe now fixed), this could happen when the selection was taking partial transparency already in the surroundings, and the inverted result, was so minimal in % of transparency that was below PS's threshold, would result in nothing selected once inverted. But this has not been the workflow here, it seems. Unless he unknowingly was "adding" to an existing selection? Quote AD, AP and APub V2.5.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.

NotMyFault Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just a hint: please activate the channels panel, at keep the thumbnails visible all the time when recording. The thumbnail „Pixel Selection“ shows the current selection, and more reliable than marching ants. Similar, keep the following panels active and visible: Channels navigator history info layer stack, histogram more depending on what is relevant. You can de-touch the panels and place them freely, it is possible to include all. These panels really help to understand, analyze and reproduce any potential issues or bugs.

NotMyFault Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I can see you still have the pen tool active. This might cause the issue, as delete has a different function in that tool. Please try move tool or hand tool when working with selections.

SrPx Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Or even click on any selection tool before doing the removal/deletion. Edit: For me it works either way, dunno what's going on.

SrPx Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I don't understand... even with the vector pen selected, not grabbing again a selecting tool, I can invert the selection correctly, and if I hit del, it deletes the pixel content of the inverted selection, as expected... Why is it different for other people ? Richard, I don't understand your video... you don't make the shape with the pen tool (maybe was made before?), neither convert the pen vectors to selection, neither go to selection menu/invert pixels selection. Maybe the video was uploaded with a cut, incomplete ? Probably you meant sth else, but am not getting it... Quote AD, AP and APub V2.5.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.

BBYY Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Bump, this bug drives me crazy. If you have >1 artboard — don't even try to make invert selection, it will select random area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 For me pixel selections work as expected when pixel layers are present. If you have no pixel layers active, inverting becomes erratic.

BBYY Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Attached video preview, just created new file with 2 artboards, inserted photo (not rasterized; later tried to rasterize it — no difference). Invert selection effect in Affinity is random, this time inverted selection didn't appear at all. I'm on Mac, but I see it's broken in both versions.

Anaru Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I have the same problem in Designer, but it is random. Sometimes, it works as expected, and then other times, a selection I want to invert vanishes. This is so frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
