Have you tried 'unclipping' the canvas?

How does one unclip the canvas? What exactly does that do?

hey so i have another quick question. creating a new layer with a mask...im trying to paint white outside of the bounds of the mask and i can only paint until the border of the original image that i tok the selection from. I want to go outside of this border. Ive tried pasting onto new documents and cropping the image bigger so i have more canvas but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello! First post! Excited to be a part of the community. Absolutely loving Affinity, just got a couple of questions that have been confusing me about making selections. 

 

The refine tool seemed awesome at first and I was cutting out complex subjects from messy backgrounds easily, but now I’m finding upon closer examination that it’s really not that neat of a selection. I’ve seen other people ask similar questions so my question is this...when I refine a selection to a new layer with mask, why when turning off the mask do I see an image like the second one I posted? With the nasty selection outlining the subject? Also, how do I get a cleaner selection without all that mess along the borders? I’m extracting the subject from a very plain background, I dont think it should be coming out like this (third photo)....thank you guys!
