Furi0usBee Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The one thing I really loved in Photoshop was the ability to take my pen tool, draw a nice outline around an object in a picture, then turn that nice smooth line into a selection (marquee), then cut something out of a picture and get great results. Sadly, Pixelmator doesn't (easily) do that. In Affinity Photo is there an option to convert a line path into a selection? I would switch from Pixelmator in a heart beat if Affinity Photo can do this.

R C-R Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 This is very easy to do in AP. Any shape drawn with the Pen tool can be (destructively) converted to a selection. You just need to select the shape, select the Pen tool, & from the Context menu click the "Selection" button. See the AP help topic "Pixel selections from shapes" for the details.
