Selectiond

[WaldoUSA]

I struggle to make selections. 

I've been using AF Photo for over a year. I  have watched the tutorials and other help videos about selecting and I continue to struggle. I have fine detail on photos of flowers and grasses and I want to make selections for copying, masking, and adjustments.

Hi WaldoUSA, 

If possible could you provide the image you are trying to select could you also provide a screen recording of what happens when you try to make the selection?

Thanks

Hi WaldoUSA

Make sure your working on a Pixel Layer and not an Image Layer, you'll need to right click on the image and Rasterise it to get some of the tools to work.

(Maybe there should be a pop up notification similar to the one you get when going into the Develop Persona, to let you know you can't use that tool on an image layer)

I've tried attaching a JPEG export several times and get an error 200.

When I open a DNG file type, it opens in Develop. After Develop the layer panel says "Background (Pixel)".

The recording of the steps was saved in a zip file and the file would not attach to this message.

Interesting. I did rasterize like you suggested. It made a difference. Thanks. I'm still not getting the ends of slender leaves and flower filaments.
