  1. You keep saying these tools have only been around about 4 weeks and they are progressing rapidly but, they have been working on these for years. They have only been available for weeks. We have been working on AI since the 1950's and it's only in recent years it has even become usable. Think about how many times you have to repeat a question to Siri, or Alexa and just give up and look up information for yourself. AI works in very narrow fields and has a long way to go to replace artists and designers in broad areas. Especially if you want to create something new and unique and not just smash stuff together.
  2. That makes sense but I guess my next question is when and why would you want to create a pixel layer with a mask? I'm trying to understand how that would be useful. Sorry if it seems I'm being difficult. Layers are still new to me. I usually just adjust brightness and contrast and maybe shift white balance or colors a little.
  3. I recently bought the Affinity Photo Workbook after moving over from Adobe CC. I am an amateur photographer and could not see spending the money on something I only use occasionally. My question is about the Refining Selections exercise. After selecting the model and refining the selection around her hair, now what? As I understand selections, I should now be able to lighten or darken the background without affecting the model, or vice versa but whenever I try to make any adjustments, the entire image is changed. The exercise creates a pixel layer with a mask and the original image is not selected. In the other selection exercises, you can change the intensity of the sky without changing the landscape or add some contrast to a building but I don't see a use for this. What am I missing?
