Daddywx Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I need some help. I do aerial photos of businesses. In many cases the roofs are awful looking. In the past I have been able to mark out the perrimeter of the roof and make it a layer so that when I use the clone stamp the perrimeter stops the stamp making for a very quick repair (no fine cutting). For some reason I can no longer do that. Did the app change something or am I just getting stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 7, 2023 Staff Share Posted August 7, 2023 It sounds like you just need to make a selection of the roof in question. What happens when you try this? If possible could you provide a screen recording demonstrating your workflow? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Daddywx Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Callum, Thanks for your reply. I can select the roof using the pen tool very quickly but can't make it do anything. If I go into the selections persona there's no tool that's equivalent to the pen tool to use for the cutout. There's got to be something stupid that I'm missing because I used to do this all the time. I appreciate your help.

walt.farrell Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Try this: don't use the Pen Tool. Instead, switch to the Selections Persona and choose the Freehand Selection Tool (lasso), then in the Context Bar, for Type, choose Polygonal or Magnetic. Also, could you show us the Layers studio, please.
