- In this video we use Affinity Photo to cut out the bodywork of a car to allow us to change the colour of the paint.
We learn how to easily cut out intricate shapes from an image and how to edit them.

That is right where I was stuck learning Affinity Photo. I created the cut out area and then....lost. Now I know. BTW, I am using this process to create a pattern later to blend the vehicle into the street surface with Street View videos. Thank you for excellent tutorial. I subscribed and gave a thumbs up.
Great to hear!
Your tutorials are always well-paced, with clear and concise explanations. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Ran into this old lesson. Incredible tutorial, I really appreciate it. As a beginner, our default tool to use is the selection tool, now I know better. Thank you. Looking forward to more of your lessons.
You're very welcome!
Really useful video tutorial Scott. Thanks very much.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the lesson! The pen tool is something I rarely use. Now I'm going to start. I usually use the selection tools. But with precise cutouts like that I can see the benefit! Thanks again for this great tutorial!
You are welcome. Thanks for the comment. I love the pen tool for selections as it allows me to be precise and also edit the curve afterwards.
Really nice tutorial. Huge step up from the normal selection brush / refine videos. Lots to be learned here from duplicating your cutout layers (safety first) to merging down different selections. Big fan of yours. Well done!
Thank you Fred. My first FAN! You have made my day!
As usual, another well done and informative Affinity Photo tutorial, great job Scott!
Cheers David. We are getting there slowly. Your latest videos are great too. Especially the latest one. I've learned quite a bit from your channel.
Thanks for this. Been struggling for weeks with a project and you helped me do the tricky part in no time at all. I’m new to editing but you made this easy.
Cheers Robert. I'm glad it helped.
Beautiful in green and a great video, thanks.
Thank you David.
Excellent!!! Thank you for posting this!
You are very welcome 😁
I’d just like to say, THANKYOU so much for this. I’ve watched dozens of others videos on this, but they kept suggesting the selection brush. I needed something more manual and accurate like this, so thanks 👍🏻
You’ve got a new subscriber! ❤️
You are welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for your guidelines Scott!
My pleasure!
Excellent easy to follow tutorial. This is the second really good one I have seen from you so just subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for that, very clear and easy to understand.
You are very welcome.
Thanks so very much for this one Scott! Always wanted to know how to properly use the pen tool....now I do!
Thank you Ann. The pen tool is really powerful and very easy to use. I may to a more detailed tutorial on it soon.
Scott Williams Photography I think there would be a ton of grateful people if you did!
wonderful lesson, thank you
You are welcome!
Great video Scott! Thanks! My new friend, the pen tool!
Thank you very much Jim. Have fun 😀
very good show old bean, very helpful, thanks
Thank you Stephen.
Very useful, thanks!
Thank you Steve.
Very nice video. Very helpful
Cheers Stephen 👍
*Brilliant Tutorial*
Thank you very much.
You're making me more dangerous every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you sir!!!
👍
Nice tutorial hope you keep uploading content
Thank you Pablo. I will keep uploading. I have a couple of new videos lined up.
Thank you, another great video. Could you show how you would deal with colour reflection on tarmac? So it matches your green. Cheers
Thank you Sebastien. To turn the reflection green. Create a HSL adjustment. With the HSL Adjustment select red. Change the hue to the left until the reflection matches the car. Invert the HSL layer(crtrl+i). Use the paint brush set to white to paint the colour back into the reflection. Hope that helps 😀
Bless you. You’ve saved my life. 😜
Glad to help 😃
Excellent.
Many thanks!
Thank you, good sir!!!
You are very welcome Marvin.
You are genius really..
Haha. I've just been creating graphics for video games for years. I've had to do this sort of thing hundreds of times.
Wondering if you have tried DxO PhotoLab yet. I rate it for the incorporation of control points from NIK and it's RAW processing.Great vids and techniques - thanks
Hi William. I have tried Photolab and I think it is very good. I have not used it extensively yet but I plan to in the future. It does seem to be very responsive and gives excellent results with very little effort. I will create some content for it when I get around to evaluating and testing it properly.
Really good tutorial! Maybe you can make a tutorial on how to cut out even more complex things like hair on a person? And I mean cutting out from a complex background.
Thank you Felix. I definitely will make more tutorials on cutting out and then using the images as parts of new images etc. Especially intricate things like leaves and hair. It is such a huge subject that it is impossible to get it into one small video.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography
Yes! :) Cutting out and placing in new images would be really nice. This is the fun part with AP, otherwise you only need softwares like Lightroom...
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography Fantastic...new to affinity so good to see there are some pretty good tutoirals and this was great
Hello Scott,
Thank you- excellent tutorial. I am new to Affinity Photo and need as much help as I can get! How would you make the red reflections on the ground match the now green car?
Thank you Paul. You could use the HSL tool to alter the hue of the reds.
Scott...great tutorial....if original colour of vehicle was all white, how can you change colour ?
Cheers John. I would try a combination of levels and recolour adjustments. I will have to make a video on this.
Scott Williams Photography ok thanks for that...look forward to the video
great video thank you, but HELP!! lol when I make the selection I have the marching ants and my image layer is selected when I copy and paste the new layer is empty.
HI Stephen. The layer you are copying from may not be a pixel layer. Try right clicking on the image layer and selecting "rasterise" to make the layer into a pixel layer before making the selection.
Scott Williams Photography thank you. Huge help game changer. Have a great day.
You are very welcome 😃
How do you convert a curve to a selection on the iPad version?
Got it! Sorry, I'm new to Affinity and iPads in general so I'm completely lost. This method of selection is way better than the selection tools; I can't seem to get a hang of them, thank you for this tutorial!
I'm sorry I only use the PC version at the moment.
Near the end, why was white not affected? New to this , don’t have Photoshop background either.
Good question Edward. It is because the HSL adjustment effects only the hue. The image information is represented by the HSL model. Which is Hue, Saturation and luminance. The Hue control adjusts the hue channel which changes the colour. As Black, greys and white all have no colour. They are completely desaturated and so don't change. Only Saturated colours change. The Black and white adjuster will only change the colours you specify. The less saturated the colour, the less of a change you will see.
Hi Scott ! I have a question for you . Using afginity Photo to remove background is a big, bos use case for me. I want to master it anyhow..so far the way I have veen doing is using the Smart Selection tool but it does not work that lerfectly if the background is not a comtrast colour and when I use it chips off/ eats up the subject lioe for e.g. if I am trying to make a seldctio around the person's ear. It just does not work immaculately. There is always some error. And refine selection makes matter even more worst for me. Do you think I should use.pen tool ? But in my case I am trying to remove the background from a portrait photo of a person. What would be your suggestion in this ?
If the background is complex and the transition between the subject is not well defined then you may be better off using a mask and brushing away the background edged bit by bit.
I really wish Affinity used a magic wand like Photoshop has. I used that a lot on simple cut outs. It made it super easy. This just makes a simple task a lot harder. Also, their selection brush really sucks. It really struggles to find edges. I am kiinda disappointed with this program actually.
The selection brush in affinity is similar to the magic wand. After using photoshop for years I find using affinity different but still great.
