Sidsel Galatius Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Hi I'm new to Affinity, and have followed some tutorials. In one I had the luck to use the Inpaint tool - but now I can't make it work. I choose it, mark the spots, and everything is like in the tutorials, and like the first time - all thought now, nothing disappears. Whats am I doing wrong?? All the best, Sidsel Quote
toltec Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Is the layer an image layer ? It wont work on an image layer. You will have to Rasterize it first so it becomes a Pixel layer. Right click on the layer to convert. Bri-Toon 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
Sidsel Galatius Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Thank you for answering - though it didn't make it. The picture started out as a pixel layer, but still doesn't work... Quote

Some operations such as rotation require that you rasterize the layer again afterwards in order for things like inpainting to work.

Sidsel Galatius Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Nothing, really. Actually the first I do now. The one time it did work, I had been playing with, light, colours, vignette, blur .... don't remember. Now I'm just fixated - it's the first thing I try. And then try other tools to see if they work. And they do.... Quote
Polygonius Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Is there any "hidden" selection "in the background"????. (a very common trap) Quote OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!
Sidsel Galatius Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 I think the answer is no. Though I might misunderstand you. If its the first thing I do, and the layer is active/marked, how can I work "in the background"? Quote
R34V3r Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 workaround maybe, what if you create a layer above the one you try to inpaint, and set you inpainting to current layer & Below: Quote
Sidsel Galatius Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 No.... - sorry, but still doesn't work.... Quote
HVDB Photography Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Did you check if the Opacity of de brush is set to 100% in the content toolbar ?

Sidsel Galatius Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Yes, I have really studied the settings in the tutorials watched on Youtube. And I have restarted Affinity and later on the computer Quote
R34V3r Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 are all your channels editable? the pencil icon in the Channels panel below right should be active on all channels: try ctrl+D or cmd+D to make sure you dont have a selection active. try rasterizing the layer again, i've had some problems in the past where the layer was shown as a pixel layer but acted as an image layer Quote
Sidsel Galatius Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Hmmm..... Bigger picture, please. Can't figure where you are i the UI here. Quote
Polygonius Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Sounds obvious;-) 1. can you impaint in other documents? 2. Can you impaint when you jump in the history very far back, if necessary to the start???? If so, go to the last point where it worked and than check what you have done after this!

Sidsel Galatius Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 Well, yes they are all editable.... About the one time it worked, I didn't save the document, but I tried to open the same picture, and others - still without the luck... Is it the format? I try edit a jpg....?! Quote

IanSG Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I've just had a similar problem - the selection brush, which I've used countless times before, stopped working! The Photo Beta was fine! Starting the app with the <ctrl> key depressed sorted it out. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10

Well, you have to rasterize this layer before the inpaint works. But didnt you say, you have already done???? Quote OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!
Sidsel Galatius Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 Yes.... Really weird it doesn't work, because I do all you say I should, and the tool works up to the point I've marked the wished-away item. The tool marks the item with this pink shadow and all... But, nothing disappears. I'm about to give up and love everything in the picture Quote
firstdefence Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Thinking outside the box a bit here but check the brush and brush settings. What type of image is this jpg, png, raw, tiff.
