kernowbhoy Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm trying out a trial of Affinity Photo at the moment and getting along quite well with the tutorial videos. But I cannot get the selection brush to to select anything ! I can op[en a photo and without doing anything, select the selection brush and try to select the sky or anything and it doesn't do anything ! Any clues ? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Do you have a pixel layer selected in the Layers panel when you try this?

BobsDaubs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Is the layer locked on the layers panel? Quote iMac (24 inch, M1, 8 cores, 16 GB Memory, 2021) iPad Pro 12.9", 3rd Generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Also, make sure Add is selected on the Context toolbar and check Show Pixel Selection (for the marching ants) is ticked in the View menu. Otherwise it is possible to make a selection and not realise it (that one has caught me out a few times ). Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
