Photo: Lasso vs Rectangle


Recommended Posts

When I make a rectangular selection on a pixel layer and hit delete, the layer is deleted within the rectangle. If I use the lasso tool from the same drop down, hitting delete deletes the selection, not the layer contents. I can't seem to delete a freehand selection. Why is this happening?

As a workaround for the bug, if you are using the Mac 1.6 version & have an Apple extended keyboard with a forward delete key, that will delete the contents.

I'm not sure if it works with other keyboards or the Windows version.
