Icircuit desktop selection tool6/15/2023 The purpose of the marquee tool is to select something. Luckily down the road I gave the app another chance. Once a user understands the pixel-layer concept then it gets easier, but it STILL to this day trips me up. Turns out, the "pixel layer" was the number one culprit. In my case, I bought the app and barely used it because it just seemed like some stuff wasn't working right, so I went back to Photoshop. You need to understand that many new users are going to be ex-Adobe users and like myself will get very frustrated with how some features appear to be change just for the sake of change. R C-R, I appreciate your involvement to many discussions in these forums but it's like there's a gang of several users on here who's goal is to convince everyone that the Affinity way is the only way. If there is no marquee selection, then the current layer is deleted. If there is a marquee selection on the current layer (highlighted in the Layers panel), then whatever is in that selection is deleted from the layer. How does Photoshop decide which layer to delete? Have you ever used Photoshop? There is always a layer selected in Photoshop. Then wonder how many times it's NOT being asked and people just give up. In fact, that's really how Affinity Photo works, UNLESS it's not a Pixel layer! As the original poster said, all you have to do is look at how many times this question keeps being asked. Anything other than that is counter-intuitive. If I press delete on a selection, I expect it to delete the selection. If I use the marquee tool I expect a selection. What purpose is there in defining a selection NOT attached to any content? Who would define a selection if there are no layers in the document? What is the purpose of an "enclosed area on the canvas" - just something to look at? No, I want to perform some function on it.
