Trouble with third image this afternoon - a selection cannot be duplicated


Recommended Posts

For whatever reason, this afternoon, my Affinity Photo misbehaves in all kinds of ways.  I have rebooted my desktop with Windows 10.  Keep having all kinds of problems.  Two have been posted slightly earlier.  On this occasion I have an image, made a selection then went Ctrl + j, but instead of just the selection appearing in the layer above, the whole image appeared.  Additionally, whilst making my selection an area that was too unclear did not work with the selection brush, so I thought, aha, just use the freehand selection tool, which I made sure was on add.  Nothing happened!  I tried all kinds of ways and checks, but still the same. I rebooted my desktop, but again the same problems. Disastrous afternoon!  :(  >:(

That sounds like what happens if you have an "(Image)" layer selected.
