machadodesign Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I drew a selection on a photo and wanted to create a new layer with copy of what was selected. In 1.4.3 it was a simple command-J and it was done. In 1.5 beta 6 it doesn't work. It makes a copy of the entire layer. I even tried doing a command-C copy and then paste and it still copied the entire layer, completely disregarding the selection I made with the marquee tool. Went back to 1.4.3 and it works fine. Restarted the 1.5 beta 6 and it still doesn't work. Definitely a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 18, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi machadodesign, You're are probably copying a selection from a (Image) layer type (check the label after the layer's name between parenthesis). If so right-click the image layer and select Rasterise.... to convert it to a (Pixel) layer. You can then copy/paste selections from it as usual.
