Selection brush tool not working......


Recommended Posts

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

Do you have a pixel layer selected in the Layers panel when you try this?

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 :$).
