Staff Callum Posted March 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi Steve, Welcome to the forums If you select the layer you want to make a selection out of in the Layers tab then make your selection when you paint you will notice it still paints directly onto that layer within the boundaries of the selection. To get this onto a separate layer you will need to create your selection then add a new layer and paint onto that I've created a short tutorial video for you below! Thanks C Paint into selection.mov Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelh Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Painting in a selection is cool but how about paste an image in the selection and try to resize it inside the selection area. Photoshop as a paste special paste into option. This allow the paste image to move, resize inside the selection. Is there a way to do this in Affinity Photo?

If you make a selection, then make a duplicate layer (Ctrl + J) when you copy something and go Edit > Paste Inside you can then resize the pasted image inside the selection area. You can easily merge the layers later if you want. This is a copy of the main background image, copied and Pasted Inside a selection area (new layer), then moved, resized and rotated. The selection area "clips" it. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
