Could you potentially do a jersey swap tutorial? I’m in sports media graphic design and use affinity photo 2 and would love some pointers on how to do a good swap! 🙏🏻 your videos have been so helpful for me as a beginner!

This has been one of the best explications of mask layers on how and when to use them. Your tutorials are simple yet super informative. Thank you so much.

Happy days Sue! Masking does take a bit of practice but once you master it and get your head around it really is so so powerful! :)

Hi Andrew, thanks for an excellent tutorial. I’m a amateur photographer based in Ipswich. Are you planned a short on Cropping Photo and Border, as I seem to have issues with creating a border on a heavily cropped image. I tend to use resize canvas not sure if this is the best method. Keep up the good work😀

edit: solved: at 3:53, I was suddenlly, spookily unable to manually paint the mask in and out with shades of black and white. I tried everything, including starting from scratch... Once I turned off "Protect Alpha" in the contextual menu of the brush tool, (which was preventing painting over blank areas, only allowing painting within already established areas of the mask - no good!) I suddenly regained the power to manually control my masks and fix some of the mistakes the "Refine Selection Tool" had made back before I output that selection as "New Layer With Mask". As far as I know, once you output a very complex selection as a mask, you can't recreate the original selection to adjust it using the "Selections Persona" ever again - except in a very sloppy backwards way: don't bother! You also have to have the mask correctly associated with the target pixel layer. Some of this is explained in the help topics under the question mark on the start page under "clipping", and "targeting". Those secret words should yield some insight. At 1:25, another problem I've had working with the was that you have to check "Snap To Edges" in the contextual menu, or it won't figure out that you're trying to separate different areas. Obvious maybe, but nobody ever tells you.

It can be frustrating when it/things aren't working, but we'll get there :) Make sure the opacity of the brush is set to 100% and also make sure you have selected the mask layer... failing that, I'd try making a new project and following the steps again, lmk how you get on :)

Can you save a selection?

For the love of God man, please please please make a bare bones basic tutorial on how to cut something out in Affinity 2 iPad app and place it over another image then (important bit) somehow save it to your iPad camera roll. I’m ready to chuck this thing out the window. I’ve watched 20 or more tutorials on masking and layers and I just can’t get my head around it even though I’m reasonably technically minded. Nobody seems to be able to explain it clearly. I’ve spent half an hour cutting out a car and I can’t isolate the image or export what I’ve selected. I’m hoping you’re the man! Cheers.

Good video to start. But how to add to a selection or take away from a selection when creating a mask? In PS I would hold Shift or ctrl to preform + or -? I would like to learn more about the Pen too in Affinity Photo on the iPad, I maybe switching from PS to Affinity as my primary pixel editing tool. Thanks.

@cconstb21 2 жыл бұрын

Well NVM on the pen tool video. I found one you already made. 🤪 Thanks. How about keyboard shortcuts?

Hi Mike and thanks for your comment, in my video 'How to Remove Backgrounds in Affinity Photo (Beginners Tutorial)' I talk & show about adding to a selection or taking away from a selection if you want to check that out and hoping that will help :)

@CreativeGoodman 2 жыл бұрын

No probs and I'll look into keyboard shortcuts, I just use the hand shortcuts when using AP iPad :)

I cannot figure out the second way of maskin every time it completely deletes my whole picture once I press cut any tips?

@CreativeGoodman Жыл бұрын

It's hard to know to be honest Charloo without seeing it... try doing it in a new project on a different photo/picture to see if it still isn't working :)

@@CreativeGoodman well there are quite a few really, hence the pano, I want to create a panorama with lots of different photos, some have different backgrounds , so I was just wondering if masking might be a way rather than cutting them all out first and making them transparent , so I can put them all on a white background, not necessarily in a linear way if that makes sense?
