Inpaint Problems

[Sulaco.one]

Hi. I have problems with inpaint transparent areas and inpaint brush tool after develope persona for raw photos.

When I want to inpaint transparent areas (resterise - select - alpha range - select partially transparent or opaque than invert - edit - inpaint) I get what you see on image 1.  Original image with selection 1_1. 

When I use inpaint brush tool (pixel layer selected) i get what you see on image 2. It draws in black. Brush tool doesn't work only with .cr2.

This problems starts only on this week. Maybe i changed some develope persona settings that affect on selection?

Hi @Sulaco.one,

Welcome to the forums. 

You can try to reset it.

You can do this by holding down the CTRL key while launching the app. When the Clear User Data window appears, click Select All and then Clear. The app will now open.

 

Be aware that resetting your app back to its default settings will lose any custom settings such as keyboard shortcuts and brushes etc. To backup such settings before resetting the app, please watch our Affinity - Exporting User Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts video.

 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Is this a 32bit HDR colour format you're working on ? Does it occurs when switching to 16bit ?

Try rasterizing the layer first, then apply your inpaint to selection.

Thanks. I decided to go the short way first and it worked. But I will remember the advice just in case.

 Of course, I did everything in that order. Thanks!
