R C-R Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Apologies if this has already been discussed but I could not find anything about it by searching the forums, in the help, or in the video tutorials. My question is if is possible to invert a pixel selection made with any of the Pixel Persona selection tools (so whatever was not selected is selected & whatever was is not) like with the desktop apps?

I think I tried everything imaginable except pressing long enough on the selection for that context menu to pop up. Thank you very, very much for the help.

MÅNEMANN Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Really nice to know it's actually possible. That is if I hadn't expanded the canvas. I do that by making it an artboard, selecting it and resize with move tool (only way I can figure that doesn't alter the content, so it's like "resize canvas" in Photoshop). Problem is that it seems to not want to completely let go of the original (smaller) canvas/artboard size, and in this situation it means that when reversing a selection it only selects the pixels that are within what was the original size. So it selects a small square in the corner of the canvas. I hope that's understandable and that someone can help. I also hope that it's not a problem that I revive this old thread.

DM1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If you use Resize and change Document to Canvas in the Context menu then change the dimensions, you will resize the canvas without resizing your document. Eg reducing size of canvas, object may be too big to fit. 9CB20FC3-944A-45DC-A278-10FCC2804DE0.MP4 v_kyr and MÅNEMANN 1 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

MÅNEMANN Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of doing it that way. So that sort of solved it for me, but I still like doing it visually instead of mathematically. Inspired by you DM1 I made a video demonstrating the problem. As you can see, some strange glitches occur too. The steps are: Turn the canvas into an artboard, select the artboard and resize visually, select a previously created layer, draw something that's larger than the old size, observe the ugly glithces. Same goes for selections larger than the old size. Sorry that this is going so off-topic. FE760E6A-9814-4175-8D00-860DC0BDC70B.MP4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yes, the brush glitch is a bug. I have seen it reported on the bugs thread.

MÅNEMANN Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hm can't find it, but good to know it's been brought up. Hopefully it gets fixed so the layer size expands instead of the other way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
