Freehand selection tool has gone on strike


Recommended Posts

I have a selection made with the Selection Brush Tool.  Went to add a bit to the selection using the Freehand Selection Tool and it refuses to do anything.  Tried multiple times in different ways, even tried subtracting (whereas I really want to add).  The Tool refuses to do anything!  I have the background layer in blue in the Layers Panel.

Things I have tried

1.  In Customise Tools, I have done a re-set.

2.  I have closed down Affinity Photo and restarted.

3.  Shut down the desktop and left for a while then rebooted Windows.

4.  Have deleted all adjustment and other layers, so only left with the Background Layer.

5. I have saved the (incomplete) selection as a Spare Channel and done "Load to Pixel Selection".  That works but the Freehand Tool is still on strike.

It is hard to see what else I could try.

Not to worry, these things happen Jaffa! Thanks for letting us know :) 

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
