buddingphotographer Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have a feeling this is a simple/obvious answer, but I'm brand new to Affinity Photo, so please bear with me. :) I'm creating a collage with several layers of photos resized and cropped with masks. The layers show (Image) after the filename. One of the photos has a distracting element that needs cloned out. When I try to clone it, the "Assistant" rasterizes the layer, and I lose my cropping mask. Is there any way to preserve the "smart" (Image) layer while still cloning out a small distraction? Thanks!
