WaldoUSA Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted July 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2019 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 C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoUSA Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've tried attaching a JPEG export several times and get an error 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoUSA Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 When I open a DNG file type, it opens in Develop. After Develop the layer panel says "Background (Pixel)". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoUSA Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 The recording of the steps was saved in a zip file and the file would not attach to this message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoUSA Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
