not painting any more - af Photo


Recommended Posts

After Affinity Photo update to 1.7.2 (on Mac os x 10.14.6 mojave) I can not paint anymore. I dont see any setting that would prevent this. No selection. Pixel layer active. No protected transparency. Brush and color set well. Nothing happens when painting.

That page in the screenshot had nothing on it, so, all transparent. On another image, I made a part transparent. Here it does paint over the image part, but not over the transparent part. Which should only happen if "protect transparency" was on. But it is not on.

Hi Thomahawk :)

Your screenshot shows a selection, seemingly created by the Selection Brush Tool. If you use Select>Deselect then make sure you're using the Paint Brush and not the Selection Brush - does painting work as expected for you?

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

Gosh. PixelPest, you are right.

All this time, I checked that "Schützen" (protect) ist not active. Hidden on the right side >>  I would never have thought that, I would not look for something I think I already see. There is another "protect" that is for transparency.

I have used protect transparency before.

Honestly - the interface in general ist not very user friendly. I have stumbled over such problems with affinity software countless times now. Things that are not logical not intuitive, not even to me who has been software testing for Macworld for 20 years.
