reselect the selelection from a mask

[jan.schadewitz]

How can I reselect the selelection from a mask in the iPad version of affinity.

in the PC version I can press „Alt“ and click on the  mask, how can I make this on the IPad

Hi jan.schadewitz

Without Saving the Selection this isn't possible on the iPad currently, my apologies. If you save your selection before creating your mask however you can reselect this selection at a later time. I hope this helps!

You can in some instances long press on screen when in Selection Persona and tap Reselect from the on screen  menu options.

Not sure if this is what you are trying to do but try the SelectionFromLayer macro in this Macro Library I collated for the iPad, it simply replaces the desktop command as a macro.

Mud’s Macros

SelectionFromLayer - convert a layer into a pixel selection (the missing desktop command)
SelectAllLayers - select all layers quickly (the missing desktop command)
DeSelectAllLayers - de select all layers quickly (the missing desktop command)
PencilPortrait - Convert Photo to pencil sketch (Credit: Alpha Sierra, YouTube)
InpaintCrop2 - fix edges after a straighten crop (Credit: Jim Welsh)
Inpaint - the inpaint command (the missing desktop command)

Thanks for  the replys.

I had also a answer  from another source.

1. Channels
2.  create spare channel
3. load to pixel selection

That solves  my problem

Thank you very much Paul.

How can I load the macro into Designer for iPad.

Unfortunately Designer does not support macros, it appears to be restricted to Affinity Photo on all platforms Angelos.
