George-Gele Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hi I am new to Affinity photo, I have a user problem or a bug of some description. I am using version 1.6.5.123 on windows 10.My hardware is a AMD Ryzen 5 with 32 GB ram and a NAVIDA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB graphics card. I have been trying to use the selection free hand tool, I have tried Freehand, Polygon and magnetic lasso, I have set it to new, add but the problem is the same. That is everything works as expected until I try to close the selection. I have selected the end point of the selection to close and I have tried to double click. Each time the selection disappears, I even tried to copy , thinking maybe the selection outline was not displaying, the selection had cancelled. I have watched tutorials on the use of the tool, I think I am doing it right. Am I missing something or is there a problem with the software? Thanks for any help or ideas.

firstdefence Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Check the selection isn't set to subtract or intersect on the context bar. Its an easy mistake to make.
