Polygonius Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 If i do a selection and activate quickmask the whole canvas gets red, not just the selection. BTW: where to find the quickmask in the shortcut-preference (i have set Q to another function, so it does not work for quickmask anymore).

Staff MEB Posted November 19, 2018 Staff Posted November 19, 2018 Hi Polygonius, If you create a selection and activate the quick mask, only the area around the selection should become red, not the selection itself. Can you attach a screenshot of the app with the layers panel visible so we can see what you are doing? To change the Quick Mask shortcut go to Affinity Photo Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts section, set the first dropdown to Photo and the second to Select - the shortcut item you are looking form is the last one on the list (Edit Selection As Layer). The order of the shortcuts in Keyboard Shortcuts section (in Preferences) is dictated by the order the commands appear on the menus, so it's relatively easy to find them. Just make sure the first dropdown is set to the correct Persona and the second point to the respective main menu name. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Polygonius Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 Hi MEB. Thanks found the shorty-entriy. I guess the name of it is not self-explaining as quick-mask;-) 2 screenies: selection and quickmask (direct before and after, no other steps). If i disappear the mask, the selection is still holding.

Staff MEB Posted November 19, 2018 Staff Posted November 19, 2018 Thank you. That's weird. Do you mind saving the document with the pixel selection active and uploading it here for us to check? I'm not sure it will help but i would like to see how it behaves on my system since i'm not able to replicate this from scratch. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Polygonius Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 Here, a fresh one, with history. When i reopen, the selection is still active!

Staff MEB Posted November 19, 2018 Staff Posted November 19, 2018 Thank you. Reproduced here now from scratch. Logging this to be looked at. Do you have Metal compute acceleration ticked in Affinity Preferences, Performance section? A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Polygonius Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 Thats my settings. Please, could you do a big favour and ask the team and answer here! Thank you! OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!
Staff MEB Posted November 19, 2018 Staff Posted November 19, 2018 Ok. Thanks for the screenshot/confirmation. It is indeed a Metal acceleration issue. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
