Rubyjim Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'm a newbie with Affinity Photo having moved over from Photoplus. Yesterday. The selection brush tool it was working fine and I loved today it will not select. :( The freehand selection tool, selects while holding the left mouse button, take finger off the button selection gone. Running on Win 10 HP pavilion laptop. Thanks Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Under the View menu Make sure you have Show Pixel Selection ticked Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine.

Rubyjim Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 In layers I have "Show pixel lair ticked. Rectangle and other selection shapes work as expected. Selection brush and freehand tool not working. These were working 2 days a go? Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms.fuentecilla Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Sorry to be adding to this but the selection brush tool seems totally anarchic in refine mode. It will not subtract nor add edges as required by my manipulations, not just once stroke but many, and reverts to what it seems to think right (yes, I know they can't think - can they?!). This is very frustrating for a very useful facility. And yes, I do have the correct selections. In its initial selection mode it works reasonably well if a little enthusiastic. Are there any suggestions please? Michael Rubyjim and Roger C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
