Thanks so much, Bill for your comment, it means a lot and I appreciate it :)

You're very welcome! I was the same when I first opened this app too! lol :)

Thank you, glad it was helpful! :)

Much appreciated Sveeka! :)

Good question Vivek, I've found the smart select tool works amazing when people/subjects are on a white background but in other photos/pictures sometimes its just easier to use the pen tool... esp if it's for a 'professional/high end finish job' if you know what I mean :)

My biggest issue with brushing the mask is you’re more likely to potentially miss something being at like 98% opacity or 2% opacity. When I first started using a pen I also thought that might be a better way, but the pen tool is pretty easy to know exactly what’s going on. The pen tool is good because you can adjust things across the entire selection edge to dial in things, and allows for very precise clean results. At the end of the day, you’re going around the whole edge with a large amount of detail. One place the pen really helps is large sections that are simple enough that they can be covered by a single segment. It’s a lot quicker to dial in and precisely do those kinds of edges with the pen tool vs brushing. I also think that going back and adjusting things is much better in a lot of cases with the pen tool.

I think maybe you used the Pen tool on a new layer and not on the photo layer if you know what I mean. Make sure your on the photo/image layer before you select the pen tool and it should work well :)

40 seconds using the Photoshop pen tool or select subject do you mean? :)

Well for years I have used Photoshop so it is not fair for me to compare with Affinity. In Photoshop I would draw a path around the object, hit “Make Selection” Boom no background!@@CreativeGoodman

Make sure the width of the pen tool is set to 0% and that the fill colour in the colour studio is set to empty (white with a blue line through it) that should sort it for you Zane :)

@Andrew Goodman for some reason I have to un click the fill button and it works. I saw it on one of the post on reddit. I did try what you suggested and still gave me the white stuff that fill automatically fill the area. Thank you and I love your videos.

Appreciate the feedback, currently doing KZfaq shorts and my next series of videos should be shorter and more to the point :)
