What I normally do when faced with a situation like this is: clone/inpaint/heal as per normal, or whatever works best. Then, I would use a smudge brush to drag the missing hair parts so that they reconnect with each other. You would have to set the smudge brush strength quite high, 75% or more other wise they might not be visible. There are other ways I'm sure, but this method has always worked for me.

Masking the adjustment layer
AffinityJules replied to Lich555's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You need not use the erase brush. Each adjustment layer has a built in mask. To hide any adjustment use a black brush on the adjustment layer and paint it out. -
As I have already mentioned above, all adjustment layers come with their own built in masks so, once you have made an appropriate adjustment you need only paint out the undesired brightness on the rest of the picture. You need to make an adjustment first before you can mask parts out, otherwise there would be nothing to mask out! 1. Select adjustment layer from the layers tab. 2. Make adjustment. 3. With the adjustment layer selected in the layers panel - chooses a soft brush from the brush menu. Set the colour to black, then paint over the picture to hide the parts you don't want lit. eezy-pezee.

See picture below. You can also use a brightness and contrast adjustment, or a curves adjustment to brighten up the picture, then as with the levels adjustment use a soft black brush to paint out the areas you don't want brightened. Note: all adjustment layers come with their own mask - this makes it quick and simple to use a black brush without faffing about making new masks.

Indeed. Took me ages to finally put a name to him. I knew I knew him, and I knew I knew it.

I knew the Peter Gabriel image was Pete himself, but boy, has he changed over the years. I really had to look real hard before the recognition penny dropped. 😉

Nice....looks good to my eyes.

Ah...but you got the gist of it, that was my cryptic intent. 😀 Most, if not all, have at one time been referred to as Pete.
