martifingers Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 In Photoshop I often used the technique of selecting an area (eg of burnt out sky) and then moving that selection (simply by dragging) onto a different image. The selection could be moved and then a portion of the second image could be cut and pasted back into image number one that would precisely fit the original selection. (I hope this is clear - the actual process was simple and very fast.) This doesn't seem possible in Affinity Photo - I can "Save" a selection and "Load" it to a different image but it appears it cannot be re-positioned. Is what I want possible? Thanks in advance.

HVDB Photography Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hi martifingers Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid that's not possible (at the moment) in AF. Instead, with your selection active, add a mask. Deselect. Invert the mask. File > place your second image, and drag it behind the first image. Use the move tool to (re)position it.

You can at least cut&paste into a new file and use the Move-tool (V) on the pasted portion. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
