Alvaro64 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi, I've tried creating a new layer from selection as explained in this video but it doesn't work for me. I have the latest version of Affinity (2.4) for Mac. Attached a photo of my interface prior to making a selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi @Alvaro64 and welcome to the forums. It's easy as you think. Make your selection. Switch to the move tool, than copy & paste. Which part of selecting and then pasting as a new layer does not work?

loukash Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 14 minutes ago, Alvaro64 said: it doesn't work for me Your image is an "Image" type layer which is kind of a "smart object". When you make a marquee selection and try to copy it, it can only copy the whole layer again. To copy an actual pixel selection, you must first rasterize the selected layer (or a copy thereof).

thomaso Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Your layer is an "Image" layer. To make a selection with the current tool "Selection Brush" work on this layer you need to convert it to a "Pixel" layer first (right-click > "Rasterize").

Alvaro64 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thanks Thomaso, after rasterising the images the copy paste works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
