How do I delete the selected area in Affinity Photo for iPad - like pressing the del key (since two-Finger-tap is undo)? Unfortunately I cant find any Option to manage this. many thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted September 22, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hi @Retropixel, Welcome to the forums. With the selection active, Switch back to the Photo persona, long-tap on the screen and choose delete. Thanks, Gabe.

AngryZookeeper Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 When I do this, it deletes the entire layer, not the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an Image layer (placed) as opposed to a Pixel layer? Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryZookeeper Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Actually now that I think of it, yes it was placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryZookeeper Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yep. When I imported instead of placing it worked fine. So here's my question. When I want to take a piece out of a placed layer, how do I convert the layer to the right type so it will work. Things are starting to make sense. Thank you for your time.

toltec Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just now, AngryZookeeper said: Actually now that I think of it, yes it was placed. Then you will need to Rasterise it. Select the layer in the Layers studio, tap on the Layers studio icon that looks like a stack of layers (2nd from left) and choose Rasterise, then you can delete a selection. Quote Windows PCs.

AngryZookeeper Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I had no idea. I'm sorry for freaking out but I've wasted an entire afternoon trying to figure this out. Feel free to delete the thread sir. All is well. And thank you for your time, toltec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seantjm Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Is there no shortcut to delete from a selection? switching from persona to persona is tedious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
