2:47 > Try stretching to the left by pulling the RIGHT handle (aka the one INWARD to the original photo). The pixels at the boundaries are the same, so they match perfectly. As you have to then do less stretching overall, it becomes much less noticeable. Sometimes you need to push the stretched piece by one pixel towards the original to join the gap. Hope that was not too complicated explained. Thank you very much for your tutorials, I was quite good at Photoshop and had enough of their subscription model. You help me very much with the transition.

Affinity has content aware fill. You can use the Inpainting Brush, or make a selection and then fill it in by going to Edit --> Fill --> Inpainting. What Affinity DOESN'T have is Content Aware Scale, which would certainly be a welcome addition!

@markorafferty8763 жыл бұрын
Affinity Photo does have content aware fill, it's called the Inpainting Brush tool. This is part of the "Healing, Patch, Blemish, Inpainting and Red Eye removal tools" tools. Having said that I used another approach on the Level 2 example, and I just extended above the trees. After extending and adding Gaussian Blur I didn't crop. I then merged the visible layers into a new layer and used the menu commands "Select | Alpha Range | Select Partially Transparent" and then press the keys ALT+Backspace to fill in the marching ants area. I then extended the bottom and again used "Select | Alpha Range | Select Partially Transparent" and then press the keys ALT+Backspace to fill in the marching ants area. This does duplicate the trees well as a starter for 10, and then you can clone out the repeating patterns. I hope that helps

My guess is that you have an "Image" layer, instead of a "pixel layer". Right click on your photo's layer in the layers panel, and then rasterize it. Then you should be able to follow along with this video. This video covers "Image" layers" vs "pixel layers" in depth : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLWlgKWgrN7Fnmg.html

On the level 3 example when using the clone tool, how did you get the sample point to stay at the starting point and not move to the left with the tool (but then move with the tool as you paint in).

Just worked it out. For some reason the "Scale" was set to 256% so set it to 100%, and also needed to turn off Stabilization. Reading the on-line help didn't really help so I had to play around with the context options until it worked for me.
