Layer selected for Move Tool but not Scale Tool? - Doofer - 11-25-2022

Hi there.

I can use the R-click 'Scale Layer' dialogue fine.


However, if I want to use the mouse to scale it, it seems I have selected the layer as I can use the Move Tool, but when I try to use the Scale Tool, it just puts something 1x3 pixels in the image, suggesting I haven't selected the layer.

You are in the wrong mode, selection mode. Change to layer mode, the left side icon.

Many thanks. That was what I was missing. I thought I was going mad.
