Thats good using the pen tool with the selection tool. thanks.

Very clearly and well explained. Thank you.

I'm doing some photo editing for a couple of years with affinity, and I never knew I could do a mask or a selection with the pen tool.... 🤦‍♂I'm always using the selection brush and having to nit pick all the corners of stuff............................................. Your videos are stepping up my game ;) Thanks for doing them :)

Outstanding - I was struggling with various aspects of the pen tool. You've cleared them up!

this absolutely blew my mind. I had no idea you could remove backgrounds with the pen tool! subbed and looking forward to more videos

Loving these Affinity tutorials! Thanks!

Couple of top tips in there. I didn't know you could make a selection then erase it.... Anyone learning Affinity Photo needs to subscribe to this channel

Thank you for these videos. Very helpful. I'm used to Affinity Designer, but Affinity Photo is still a bit of a mystery. You are helping clear things up a lot!

Thank you, thank you! that is super great " beautiful👍

Amazing, love your videos thank you.

This was really helpful, thank you so much. I am learning designer more than photo however I can really see the way the two apps can work together to create a project

DM You have done it again sir! You used the Pen tool to create a selection and then brought it on home with the Erase tool @ 9:50 - I haven't seen anyone else go that route before. That was niiice!! I'm lovin it man, I'm lovin it!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to share.

You make EXCELLENT videos! Thank you!

8:12 thank God, now we have compound masks in v2

Awesome!

I'll leave a like because this is a very informative video and very helpful. I came from using photoshop and a lot of things I've learned there translate into Affinity, but some things do not, so I like to watch videos to see what else I can learn. My only issue is that it seems like A LOT of people that do tutorial videos seem to have this habit of smacking when they talk. It drives me up the wall, and for that I usually avoid those KZfaqrs. I'm not trying to be a Karen, I just absolutely despise unnecessary mouth noises.

I'll sub, great video,, look forward to seeing more 👍

Precise

Dude, You're an Affinity Photo Jedi Master.

I’m coming from a Photoshop/Illustrator background and recently switched to Affinity. Why use eraser tool and not just cut via CTRL+X?

Great stuff, I like your approach. I would make one suggestion if I may, and that is instead of erasing the pixels from the image layer, paint black on the matte layer. It will keep your work completely non-destructive.

Coming from years with Photoshop here... I don't understand the difference or benefit of the rubber band mode selected. Doesn't the default pen tool allow for creating bezier curves already? It's even in the icon for the tool, the bezier curves. What is the rubber band part adding or doing differently?

I realise this video is from a year back so this may not be noticed, but I've just got Affinity, so... I'm a little confused about why you erased within a selection rather than adding that area to the mask. Are you just demonstrating different techniques, or is there a reason you can't add it to the mask?

HEY, could you give me the key strokes to export a file of the selection once I've cut it out? Everyone shows how to use a pencil, but they don't show how to export what you've cut out for future use. That would be very helpful. I wanna PNG with the transparent background that I can plop that bunch of bananas onto anything but people just show up cutting it out. Well, that's not enough. I'm frustrated. I would appreciate somebody telling me what I do after I cut it out then hit the mask thing. What do I have to do to export that selection pencil cut out selection?

How do you get back your pen curves once you’ve used for a mask?

Dear I want to know after select the object through pen, you should not click seleection directly you click mask ....what if i select first selection then mask ..and what is the best way to export as png file ..mask layer or new layer and what if i skip refine wil it be ok to export as png ...please advice ..

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr6mYLWlrM-nemw.html Can we do this in Affinity thhe Mesh Fill ?

You are funny!
