    In this tutorial, I'll show you how to change backgrounds in Affinity Photo. We will do this in 3 steps:
    1. Make a selection & apply a mask to remove the background of the original photo.
    2. Add another photo to use as the new background.
    3. Use adjustment layers to match the two images.
    I hope you enjoy the tutorial! :)

    Tips : When you are in the Refine section, use the option "New layer with mask" for a better result. When you use this option, affinity photo apply a color decontamination at the same time, that i noticed.

    Masking things, especially hair, grass, twigs etc in AP (both v1 and v2), is pretty hard if the image is complex and one want it to look extra good. The Refine Selection tool is really messy, I've even had difficulties making things with a solid background. I wish the devs could improve this since one often has to separate objects in images.
    I tried Luminar AI and it does a great job with separating objects so hopefully we can see this on AP as well.

      Yes, you can use the Move Tool (the tool that looks like a black arrow) to resize things. Just remember to unlock your layer first, by pressing on the lock icon next to its layer in the Layers Panel.

    hi,
    i see your video "How to Blend Two Images | Affinity Photo Fantasy Composite" and the technique for blending the 2 elements is different from this one.
    Are the techniques you use to composite several elements (filter ect ...) specific to the project, or as this video is more recent you suggest using this technique rather than the one used on the video mentioned above.
    It's complicated to find an overall technique to mix several elements for compositing.
    thanks

    • @AffinityRevolution
      @AffinityRevolution  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It really depends on the photos you're using. Depending on your photos, you will need to use different techniques. This video kept it nice & simple, while the "How to Blend Two Images | Affinity Photo Fantasy Composite" is a little more advanced.
      If you'd like to learn more, I have whole compositing course, where I go into much greater depth on compositing. courses.affinityrevolution.com/p/compositing-for-beginners

    The description says: "5 days ago". Were you using V1 or V2 of Affinity for this?
    Also, if that was a Bride's dress, the blue was wrong. How would you get the dress true-to-white if it was a Bridal Dress?
    Otherwise, good Tutorial.
    How would you expect V2 to be able to improve this tutorial?

    • @AffinityRevolution

      @@AffinityRevolution I'm surprised that you did this in V2! I thought selections were 'amazingly enhanced' in V2. The selections for hair didn't seem to be much improved.
      What's your take?
      I've tried desaturating Bride's Dresses -- it looks fake. It gets complicated because, when doing 'candids' every surface and light source sheds its own shade and color on the Bride's White dress -- but some times, I get frustrated, and I'll desat -- to some degree --anyway.

    when I follow your directions and use the select tool to draw around the image that I want to replace the background, when I click the Mask icon there is no drop down list. Just mask. Then I do not get the transparent background after I hit refine and then apply.
    Your instructions are very clear but they do not work for me.
    I do not know what I am doing wrong.

The only thing I don't like is how pressing on the mask button opens that mask pop out menu, instead of just applying a mask. V1 was simpler in that way, but it's not a big deal. And happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well! :)

      I know there's a setting you can change in the Preferences to turn the crosshair on/off. Go to Preferences, User Interface, and then turn off the box that says "always show crosshair". If that doesn't work, you could try getting out a different brush from the Brush's Panel.
