Magic wand doesn't work on image pasting from clipboard

[FitDynamite]

This is Affinity Photo, Windows version

I'm new to Affinity Photo. Been using it for the past 3-4 days. Note that I'm just a novice user, and I haven't even scratch the surface of what the app has to offer yet. Anyway, found some issues and figured I should post here just to see if anyone has similar issue.

- If you crop the image, work on it and then print. The output from printer will sometimes be in the wrong orientation even though the preview looked right. The app appear to ignore adjustment layers when rendering image to the printer too.

- If you create a new document from clipboard. Flood select tool (Magic wand) will never work.  Select color range won't work either. However, if you export the image to, say TIFF format, then open it, then somehow magic wand will work. If you are reading this I encourage you to try it and see for yourself. Just hit print screen button to capture your display screen. Fire up Affinity Photo and create new doc from clipboard. See if you can select anything using magic wand.

Does the Layer say something like Background (Image) or does it say Background (Pixel)?

If it says Background (Image), right-click on the layer and select Rasterise, then try the magic wand.

You can always flatten the image prior to printing to (Bake in) the adjustments, after printing you can just undo the flatten. This can demonstrate whether the adjustments are actually having an affect.

I encourage you to take a screen shot or two to show the layers panel and the image with and without adjustments applied and also the print dialogue.

You sir, are the man. It does say Background (image). Rasterize the layer and magic wand starts working!

OK. I admit.... Should have consulted manual before embarrass myself here.

Thanks for your answer!
