Melanie Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi there V V V new to editing so sorry if this is an obvious answer. I have found the inpaint tool (which was tough) and I am using this to select what I need to remove from my picture - when I release the mouse once all highlighted in red - it doesn't remove anything - image stays the same! I am editing the pixel layer! What am I doing wrong please? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtrem Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 When you say the pixel layer, I am assuming you mean a separate pixel layer to do the non-destructive inpainting. If so, look at the right of your context menu for the inpainting brush, and change this layer only, to this layer & below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu schwendener Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Maybe try using the inpainting brush as the first step after opening the picture - just to see if you can get it to work at all. Quote manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumz Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Also make sure the layer is not locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi, I have selected my layer (background pixels) and it unlock. When I select the area I want to inpatient an let go off the mouse it doesn't change anything. What do you mean by "layer and below" at right? I can't see where to go to that one. I am a brand new user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, CJ18. :) What do you mean by "layer and below" at right? I can't see where to go to that one. I am a brand new user. If you're referring to the advice offered by 'crabtrem', I think he meant the Context toolbar rather than the context (or right-click) menu. If you're working directly on a pixel layer you can use the Inpainting Brush Tool with the default setting, but if you've added a blank layer above the layer containing the source pixels you need to choose the option 'Current layer and below' from the Context toolbar.
