Jaffa Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Have never had a problem with this before. I have a single base layer, took a selection, then duplicated the selection, Chose "Arrange" - Flip layer horizontally, however all four options to do vertical, etc, are greyed out. At one point I thought the problem was that I had not deselected, but not to be, still did not work. As an experiment, I duplicated the base layer, because the one I was using had transparency in it, however using a full duplicate layer did not work. Have shut down Affinity Photo and tried again with the same results.

Jaffa Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 I have also tried shutting down the whole desktop and after booting up Windows 10, had another try, but still the same result.

HVDB Photography Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hi @Jaffa Could you provide a full screenshot with the layers panel expanded and visible or if possible attach the .afphoto file Jaffa 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks Hubert, but I have sorted out this particular problem, but not the other two. I had not rasterized the background layer, which was a 'new' file with a paste. Appreciate your responding.

If you mean the Arrange menu options in AP, you must have a layer object selected for Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical or the rotate items to operate on. Do you?

Eric Mercer Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 This is a screenshot of the problem. In the Arrange Menu the Flip etc are greyed out even though the Layer is selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 You're using the View Tool, which doesn't allow you to make changes to the document. Try switching to the Move Tool.

Eric Mercer Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Thanks for the info, it now works. When I checked the Help in Affinity Photo it doesn't mention that it needs to be in Move View. Maybe they need to amend the intructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulEC Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The Arrange menu seems to work in a very odd way! I'm not sure why it matters what tool you have selected (as long as the correct layer is selected) when you choose a command from a menu, but it seems quite random which tools it works with and which it doesn't.
