Transform/scale and cut multiple pixel layers simultaneously (photo)

[florak]

Hello, sorry if this has been addressed but I'm not sure the correct terms for what I am trying to accomplish outside of "transform"/"scale". 

In the previous Affinity Photo I could select 2+ layers, make a marquee selection, and then scale that selection bigger. Now in V2, if I try do the same thing it insists on scaling the entire pixel layer. For example, I am currently trying to make the head of a figure smaller, with additional lineart and hair layers on top, but it keeps trying to scale the entire body and lineart layers instead of what I've selected

Just guessing but is the layer really a pixel layer or an Image layer?

No it's a pixel layer that I drew, annoyingly!

here's a video of the problem. Two pixel layers selected, it disregards the marquee'd shape and transforms both equally, but when I only have one layer selected then it will transform the marquee'd shape (which is what I wish it would do for all the layers!)

Hi @florak,

This is a actually a bug in V2.  We do have this logged with the Developers.

I've left a link on the report back to this thread so the Affinity Info Bot can update here when this has been resolved
