LMR Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi all, I'm having trouble with the inpainting tool. I select the tool, but when I go to use it, well it simply doesn't work. The red outline wont show, but it does process with no change to the layer. thank in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 22, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi LMR Welcome to the forums please could you make sure you have your image layer selected then right click the layer and choose rasterise? This should make the tool work for you Thanks Callum LMR 1 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...

I don’t think the user is helped by Affinity Photo’s inconsistent handling of this requirement. Sometimes the selected layer is rasterized automatically, sometimes a pixel layer is added on top, sometimes the user is informed that a raster layer is required for the chosen operation, and other times (as in the case of the Inpainting Brush Tool) nothing happens at all. lepr and LMR 2 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.3.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
