Selection Brush Tool Frustration!!!


Recommended Posts

This is driving me nuts and I'm sure its an easy solution but I'm new to affinity designer and I cannot find the answer anywhere. 

When you select an area using the selection brush tool, do your thing and then want to select a new area separately or just get those annoying dotted lines to go away, how the heck do you do it? I can't get the selection area to go away unless I CMND Z out of everything I've done. This is so dumb and I'm frustrated!

I find the "Selection Brush" in Affinity Photo ineffective. I am used to Photoshop's "magic wand." There is no comparison… yet.

In the same spirit, I haven't found anything in Affinity anything that functions like Adobe's eyedropper.

These two tools are a BIG help.

For my purpose Quark express is a good substitute for Indesign. I am looking for Affinity to replace Illustrator and Photoshop (CS6) before they eventually stop working with some upcoming Apple OS upgrade.

I wish there was a list of things Affinity Design & Photo CAN'T do (yet,) so I don't waste so much time looking for them.

The Affinity Photo equivalent of the PS "magic wand" tool is the "Flood Select Tool." It has an icon similar to the PS one in the AP tool palette.
