wizox Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I have had several beta versions and the Selection Brush tool always worked fine in those versions. I just bought Photo 1.5.0.45 and the Selection Brush will subtract from selections made with other tools, but it will not add or start a new selection when dragged. I have re-started Photo many times and watched the tutorials again and I cannot get it to work in this version. Has anyone else reported this or am I doing something silly?

carl123 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I think the selection brush remembers the last setting you used so make sure it is not set to subtract as its "default" See pic Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubyjim Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Freehand tool is working but ADD, subtract, intersect are all greyed out? Can not copy or cut? Selection brush tool not working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizox Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 All selection tools work EXCEPT the selection brush. Once I make a selection I can cut/copy/paste or otherwise alter the selection. I just downloaded 1.5.1 and had high hopes for a fix to these problems. I can't install it because it rejects my email and the product key even though I have both typed them correctly and used the clipboard.

wizox Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Selection Brush is now working properly. I un-installed and re-installed the older version then re-booted the machine and now everything works -- everything except the new version still rejects my email and product key whether I type it or copy it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizox Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I am back to square one again! The selection brush tool which came back to life yesterday has reverted to its previous state. It does not create a new selection or add to an existing selection made by other tools. I have again uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted to no avail. I have followed all previous suggestions offered on this forum to no avail. Version 1.5.1 still rejects my email address and product key EVEN THOUGH the same info works on my previous version 1.5.0. I have run out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Version 1.5.1 still rejects my email address and product key EVEN THOUGH the same info works on my previous version 1.5.0. When installing version 1.5.1 beta, you shouldn't need to supply your product key unless you've uninstalled version 1.5.0.

wizox Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have Affinity Photo 1.5.0 installed. When I try to install 1.5.1 I am asked for my email address and product key. I have tried typing it carefully and carefully checking my accuracy. I have tried using Affinity's copy button in the product key and download section and pasting. I have tried clicking the "next" button to skip answering the request. I always get the message that the email or product key in incorrect.
