Affinity Photo Masking a selection on Bigger size layer then project dimensions.
Hi All,
I'm a photoshop user trying to learn Affinity Photo and there are so many little things I can't figure out on how to do in.
Can someone please explain to me how to make correct selection masking in Affinity Photo.
What happens is when ever I try to make the mask based on the selection on a layer which is bigger then the project dimensions, the mask is only based on actual project dimension of the project. not to whole layer size.
Example as seen on the attachment.

Affinity has two variants of raster mask:
Mask - this has a 'white' infinite surround and is initialised with size equivalent to the document size.
Empty Mask - this has a 'black' infinite surround and is initialised with no size (or possibly size 0 x 0 pixels).
To get a mask in Affinity as you had in Photoshop:
make selection
add Empty Mask
fill with 'white' while the selection is still active
