Ally is the #1 Affinity teacher! 👍

Tips : When you are in the Refine section, use the option "New layer with mask" for a better result. When you use this option, affinity photo apply a color decontamination at the same time, that i noticed. Great video

I am so impressed with Ally as an effective teacher. Thank you, Ally.

So easy to follow you in this as you went at a good pace and spoke clearly. I just paused, wrote the step down then did it on my own images. Thank you so much

Wow, blending photos and make them match...it's an amazing art! Fantastic tutorial as always 📷

Ally and Ezra - thank you so much for all your work on these free lessons. You both are great!

This is perfect. Thank you for the video.

I agree with Luke West. Ally and Ezra are easily the BEST Affinity teachers. Ally does an amazing presentation job. Really impressed!!!!

Excellence as usual: straight into the tutorial without a long rambling and interminable intro' very many thanks.

Thanks Ally! Another great tutorial. I would agree with many commenters below - you are a great teacher!

So easy to follow. Thank you❤❤

Very clear video, thanks for the info.

Another great tutorial! You always make it so easy to get to some awesome results. BTW All your courses are just fantastic. I highly recommend them! :D

A well paced and straightforward tutorial. Thank you.

Your presentation was paced so well and explained in such a real world way that It made total sense to me, I have only ever used Davinci Resolve for this type of thing. Affinity has sat up to date on my computer and not been used. And because of your amazing video I feel renewed excitement to try more things like this. Thank you for making this tutorial. !

Awesome tutorial! You always make everything so clear and simple. Thank you for making these Ally!

Thank you Ally ! Another super video - I learnt a number of new functions...

Another great video, Ally. Your timing was perfect for me- I have been looking around at some apps and programs that "automatically" remove backgrounds. They're not perfect, but can be quick and easy. You've just provided a great alternative in Photo. Thanks for the early Christmas present!

Nice quick lesson. Thank you. I am working through the new course.

Thanks Ally. Fun video with some great hacks. How are you liking V2? A lot of complaints all over the place. Just wondering your take? Hope you and Erza had a wonderful Thanksgiving with tons to be thankful for. You are one of many things I am thankful for! Go purchase her courses'...well worth it!

Very helpful. I'll be signing up for your course for sure.

It is an excellent instruction, thank you!

That was great tips! My biggest takeaway was matching the dark shadows. That was an aha moment for me. I appreciate you sharing.

Absolutely brilliant, and so clearly demonstrated!

Excellent video. I was also wondering how I might give the model depth of field, to make it look like a proper portrait?

Splendid work!

Great explanation! Understood it instrantly. Thank you!

Thank you

Thanks 😁

👍Thanks!

That was a great video tutorial!

this is incredible thank you

Great video Ally! Thanks for sharing.

Another excellent tutorial: thanks Ally 👍🏼😀

And you replied to everyone too! I'll definitely be watching more of your tutorials so I can become an AFFINITY GOD 🙇‍♂️🙏😈

Thanks! It's so inspiring to listen to you!

Thank you, this is such a useful tutorial!

Ally is the BEST!

Excellent job. Thank you

i like this tutorial

¡¡Great job!!

Nice tutorial, thank you.

Masking things, especially hair, grass, twigs etc in AP (both v1 and v2), is pretty hard if the image is complex and one want it to look extra good. The Refine Selection tool is really messy, I've even had difficulties making things with a solid background. I wish the devs could improve this since one often has to separate objects in images. I tried Luminar AI and it does a great job with separating objects so hopefully we can see this on AP as well.

Thanks fort the great tutorial :)

An excellent tutorial as usual. However, I could not transfer the new background. I entered place and my desktop appeared. I selected the image but nothing happened. where did I go wrong please?

super nice

You could make a video about the embedded file and its editing through image processing (mask, deletion, color correction, effects, etc...) I personally tried it and it's ridiculous how slow it is compared to photoshop. Maybe you can help.

Thank you for your video. I used your process to replace a blown-out sky on a landscape photo. After "placing" the new sky I noticed that there is a thin bright line where the landscape photo and sky meet. How can I get rid of this line? Thank you very much

thanks great tutorial... Is possible to resize the immage on the new background? lets say that the waman is way to big to be put in the background than we need to resize the immage in a smaller one... (once she is in the new background)

hi, i see your video "How to Blend Two Images | Affinity Photo Fantasy Composite" and the technique for blending the 2 elements is different from this one. Are the techniques you use to composite several elements (filter ect ...) specific to the project, or as this video is more recent you suggest using this technique rather than the one used on the video mentioned above. It's complicated to find an overall technique to mix several elements for compositing. thanks

Love your videos. I noticed that this is V2. When I use a brush on V2, I seem to have lost the circle brush 'guide' on the cursor - only seeing a crosshair. I've tried messing with the settings in user interface but can't seem to get the circle back. Just wondering if you know if there is an easy fix? Thanks in advance.

"Let's get starded!" 😉 Yes, she's great! 👍

Cảm ơn bạn!

Congratulations to you, your husband and family 👶

Thank you, I was able to follow along, ESCEPT my screen doesn’t have all the settings (brush flow) etc. not sure what they are called to fix them. Thanks

Ally, I'm trying to extract a photo of a boat on the water in action. Then I'd like to cartoonist it for a tshirt graphic. Is there a video for the process?

super!

thanks madam...

The description says: "5 days ago". Were you using V1 or V2 of Affinity for this? Also, if that was a Bride's dress, the blue was wrong. How would you get the dress true-to-white if it was a Bridal Dress? Otherwise, good Tutorial. How would you expect V2 to be able to improve this tutorial?

Would a vibrance adjustment have worked better than a HSL saturation as i think the colours popped a bit too much? Otherwise great stuff

when I follow your directions and use the select tool to draw around the image that I want to replace the background, when I click the Mask icon there is no drop down list. Just mask. Then I do not get the transparent background after I hit refine and then apply. Your instructions are very clear but they do not work for me. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

awsome

Is the same technique as to create a 'window pull' for real estate photography?

Good job, but I suggest not forgetting to work with the depth of field filter, on the background image. Cheers!

Need help, my page looks different then yours

Hello - I can't seem to get the new background to "place". When I select the new background and "open" it seems nothing is loaded after thinking for a moment. Any ideas?

Isn't that a wee bit antiquated compared to Photoshop? Way too many steps. That deserves improvements. Great tut, though, given the limitations.

Hello, if I join will you help with specific issues I am having. I shoot real estate and need a little help editing. Thanks

Thanks for the video. Do you know how to go about removing the background of transparent or half transparent objects. For example imagine the subject is the same as the one in this video but with mesh clothes. I'm including this link which is the exact tutorial I'm looking for, but in Photoshop. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7mphtGCm8Wvm5c.htmlsi=0x8Ys2G_9jBZsqe7

I've been worried for so long to make the transition to affinity products as my subscription in adobe suit has come to an end and i can't afford a new one, but been really worried if it's worth the transition to affinity products, all has changed when i found your channel 🤍 Ally truly thank you for the incredible amount of work you put in your videos, you don't rush, you explain everything + laughing and making it comfy to follow along, if i make the decision to purchase affinity, i'll also buy your course as an appreciation letter to you once i get enough money. I know i talked too much, but truly thank you soo much ❤️❤️❤️🙏
