Lexis Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hello, everyone, I've been looking for a function I know from other programs for a long time but can't find it at Affinity Photo, maybe you can help me. If I use the circle selection tool (M) I can change the shape of the ellipse with pressed mouse button, but not the position. When I release the mouse I can change the position but not the shape! I am looking for the command with which I can change with pressed mouse button between form and position before I release the mouse button to adjust the selection so position and form are correct. With other programs you press the Control or Option key, how does this work with Affinity Photo ?

Staff Callum Posted September 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hi Lexis, As far as I'm aware there is no way to do this in Affinity I'm afraid. I recommend making a post regarding this in our Feature Requests section if you would like to see it added to the app Thanks C Lexis 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Lexis Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. It seems to me to be quite an essential tool, how can you adapt an ellipse exactly to an image template? Is there a possibility to change the shape of the selection afterwards?

Staff Callum Posted September 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2019 You can add to the selection afterwards using the add section of the context tool bar. The below post from MEB might help you with this further. If the object you are trying to select isn't circular I would recommend using the free hand selection tool.
