Pixel Layer and a Watermark brush

[KevinJL]

Hi Everyone,

I have been combing through the forum and I can't find an answer. I have created a watermark as a brush, I have been using it since I created it. What I end up doing at the very end of the editing process, is to add a pixel layer so it is top stack. Then select the paint brush and go to the brushes tab and choose the watermark.

When I go to place the watermark the history changes but the watermark is not added to the pixel layer. I was working with a live filter (Blur) on a previous photo, when I lost the ability to add a watermark. The pixel layer is not locked, and I can't add a watermark even after setting down and restarting Affinity.

The last screen shot is what it looks like before it stopped working. Any suggestions anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.

Could be that the Protect Alpha is checked in the context toolbar, could be you have a tiny selection somewhere.

OMG ! Thank you that was it, I will need to research the relationship on that. Thank you so so much.
