Inpainting Tool not working [Solved]

[Affinity iPad Student]

UPDATE 3: (Solved) Dear mod, please close thread :)

Solution:

Must be a bug. Here’s how it was fixed:

 

I had to unselect that pixel image, select another picture, deselect that picture, then go back to the initial rasterized image and boom, it worked.

 

 

UPDATE 2:

I chose Rasterize in picture persona, image has now become pixel, (says so on the layers label) but inpainting still won’t work.

 

 

 

UPDATE 1:

Found out the issue, just don’t know how to fix it.

 

I can’t inpaint because it’s stored as an image not a pixel. So how do I convert the image into pixel?

 

Or,

 

How do I import the image as a pixel? (It imported it as an image, when I chose it from place image under photo persona)

 

 

 

 

ORIGINAL POST:

Hello,

iPad Pro 10.5

 

I have no idea what’s going on here. I’ve read around, none of the proposed solutions I’ve come into contact with are working for me.

 

I’m trying to inpaint the door in the attached image.

Select your image layer, and from the Command Menu (top left, three dots in a circle) select Rasterise …  :)

In addition, here is a more detailed explanation of the rasterisation process and of layer types in the Affinity apps:

Hmm … now I am confused, since you updated your original post, instead of appending a new one … what was your question?  :unsure:

Thank you Alex!

 

Inpainting still doesn’t work after I rasterized and converted image to pixel

That’s weird. I am pretty sure you selected the correct layer before using the inpainting brush, right? Do the other retouch tools, such as the Clone tool, work? … hmm …  :(

Alex, you’re amazing, your guidance lead me there. This must be a bug.

Oh, I am glad you were able to sort this out … yes, that must be a bug …  :)
