Can't use inpaint brush

[Loliz]

Please bear with me:  I'm a newbie to Affinity AND to photo editing in general.  The main reason I got this Affinity was to be able to remove objects from pictures.  For some reason I can't get the inpainting brush feature to work.  When I select it, and then try to shade the object nothing happens.

I am on the Background (Pixel) layer and it still doesn't work.  In the drop-down edit menu it is shaded so can't be clicked.

What am I doing wrong? 

Thanks for any help.

Oh.  And if it matters I'm on a MacBookPro.

Please send a screen shot of your screen!

What is the opacity of your inpainting brush?

Hi Loliz,

As @sbp has asked, could you post a screenshot of your Affinity Window, when you've got the inpainting brush selected, that will help work out why it's not working

Thanks, stokerg.  I actually figured it out.  I was using the wrong brush!  Hey, I said I was new to this!  lol
