SusB Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 In Affinity Photo, I am trying to clone onto a layer below the layer I want to copy from. In other words, layer 2 has the thing I want to copy to layer 1. When I Alt+Click on layer 2 with Source "Current Layer," then go to layer 1, the clone tool is a brush (not a round circle) and the copying does not occur. Nothing happens is laid onto the layer. How do I get rid of the brush, and how do I copy from a top layer to a lower layer? I swear I read the Help and watched 2 videos, but neither addressed these problems. Quote

Just choose a basic brush from the bushes panel. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
SusB Posted February 9, 2023 Author Posted February 9, 2023 That got me a round brush. Thanks! But the brush does not work on a layer other than the one I chose to copy from. Is this just the way the clone tool is suppposed to work? Quote
