Staff MEB Posted November 28, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi YURII, If the layers as identified as an Image layer type (look at the label between parenthesis after the layer's name in the Layers panel) then yes, you have to rasterise them first.

Ok, so I am supposed to convert it into "Pixel" layer instead right? One more question, how do I copy layer mask to different layer, in PS it was simple control drag.

Staff MEB Posted November 28, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yes, correct. Right-click the image layer in the Layers panel and select Rasterise. You should then be able to use the Flood Select Tool on that layer. Regarding duplicating a layer: I believe you meant alt + drag in Photoshop? There's no way to duplicate it using a shortcut in Affinity Photo so one way is right-clicking the layer mask in the Layers panel and then selecting Duplicate. Drag the duplicate to wherever you need it.
