VectorCat Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Screen Video shows what I did. Image is an apple surrounded by white. I selected all the white, and the selection appears to be selecting just the white, but when I hit delete, the entire image is evacuated, as though there was no selection made, and that Designer didn’t know what the selection means. Is there a way to select all the white (or whatever) and then, using one key, and not having to use the eraser, delete what’s selected, leaving what’s not selected behind? Thank you selection fail.MP4 Quote
NotMyFault Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Check the type of your layer. Any image layer must be rasterized to pixel layer before you can delete part of it. As Affinity loves the principle of non-destructive workflows, adding a mask and inverting the mask ist an alternative method to hide unwanted parts.
