Peter Saurbier Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Hello Affinity Community, I am quite new here and trying to make my way through the workbook. Refining selections is my current topic. When I create a new layer mask, I noticed that the contents in the new layer are messed up. This is not directly visible, hidden by the mask. But when I deactivate that, a lot of garbage in the picture appears - which means, I could NOT fetch content back, if my mask was too small / rigid, when I try that, a halo of garbage around my model appears. See screenshot, and for more detailed insight, screen recording. (in german, I intendet to mail that to a support team, which does not seem to exist in the form I expected it.. ) Is that normal, after all? Seems quite useless to create that layer / mask thing then, because it´s not alterable, anyway... Heeelp! Peter Affinity_Photo_Selection_Problem.mp4 Quote

carl123 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I think @Andy Somerfield has recently said that is "By Design" and gives a reason for it and an alternative method in this post https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/86607-affinity-photo-customer-beta-170135-gold-master-seed/&do=findComment&comment=459155 Dan C 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
