JuanNaym Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I started with Affinity Photo around 3 days ago. I am currently trying to take a picture and put one third on one layer, the next on another, and the final on a third. Is there any easy way to do this?

R C-R Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 One way is to duplicate the layer twice & erase from each of the three the two thirds you do not want on that layer.

Alfred Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Another way is to make a pixel selection of the first third, use the ‘Duplicate’ command (which will only duplicate the selected pixels, as long as the original layer is a ‘Pixel’ layer rather than an ‘Image’ layer) and then go back to the original layer and repeat the exercise for the other two thirds. Finally, delete (or simply hide) the original layer. firstdefence and JuanNaym 2 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
