  1. Photoshop has traditionally had the Select > Color Range command. There is also HSL keying inside the Hue/Saturation adjustment toolset, which, annoyingly cannot be used to create selections for use with other commands without clumsy workarounds (that I know much better than I would care to admit). What I am hoping to see is a non-destructive way to do masking based on luminance, HSL tools, as well as possibly more sophisticated keying algorithms that are found in video software (Primatte, Keylight, etc.). Most video-focussed color correction software (DaVinci Resolve, Speedgrade, Lustre, Baselight, FilmMaster, Assimilate Scratch) allows for non-destructive HSL keying already. The most elegant way I can imagine this working inside Photo is that similar to regular layer masks, a new procedural mask layer type for non-destructive HSL/Select Color Range masks with adjustable parameters would be available. Like an adjustment layer, except that the result would be a mask instead of an RGBA image, to be used just like regular layer masks. That way, it would be easy to adjust the selection parameters interactively after the fact, and, if need be, rasterize destructively to a regular raster mask layer. In additions to the keying in Luma, RGB, HSL, YUV and LAB, parameters for blurring the result, expanding/contracting the mask would be useful. The exact same functionality could then double as a vastly improved "Select Color Range" command as well.
  2. When I select an object to adjust with the selection brush, and then add an adjustment layer and choose an adjustment from the drop down menu, the following happens: a) no matter what adjustment I select (brightness, exposure, etc) nothing changes inside the selected object. b) when I deselect the selection using Command+D, a solid white line remains around the object I selected. How to make this work correctly? Thank you. Melanie
  3. I have been trying to make Selection on one photo to copy into another. However, my efforts have been frustrated by the Selection shooting off in all directions and not trying to stay on the main colour of the subject I'm trying to select. I have Added and Subtracted to the selection but it won't do what I want. It certainly isn't doing it as easy as in the tutorials. I have given up for now. Is there a pen tool (Photoshop)?
  4. Hi, I am using a MAS version of affinity photo 1.4.3 and every time I try to make a selection and have the output as New Layer then click apply, nothing happens. A new layer comes up but it's blank... Anyone else have this issue or know why it is happening? This just started in the last week. Jason
  5. Hello everyone.Could you please help me in creating a selection using pen tool in affinity designer
  6. Hi; I've noticed that I cannot make multiple selections. I mean, I use the marquee tool to select an area, then press Shift and use the marquee tool in a different area. The first selection area dissappears. This happens with any selection tool, including magic wand. Missing something? Thanks; Val
  7. I currently use Photoshop but I am hoping that the new Windows based version of Affinity photo will be a replacement for it. As an artist I frequently scan my drawings which I then have to clean up in PS to remove paper texture/discolouration. In order to do this I currently use the Select > Colour Range feature in PS and then select the paper colour i.e. white which I can then delete and using an additional layer filled with a white background I have a perfectly sharp and clear ink sketch. It is essential for me to be able to have this feature for my work because it is a massive time saver and without it I would not be able to produce a clean image from my scanned artwork. Will this feature be available in your new Affinity photo or am I going to be stuck with Photoshop? Because this work sequence is difficult to explain I have attached a sketch which I hope will clarify what I need to be able to do with my scanned artwork.
  8. Hi, So I have these two photos and I want to replace the tree in the long exposure shot with the tree that doesn't have the motion blur in it from the wind. I can't seem to figure out how to make a really good selection of the tree in either picture. It would take forever to do it with the quick selection brush and refine it. I'm sure there is a way to make this an easier process. Does any one have suggestions? Cheers, Jason
  9. Is there a way to add/combine pixel selections from different layers by combo-clicking the thumbnails?
  10. Bonjour, Comme je l’ai déjà dit Affinity Photo serait parfait, s’il y avait une amélioration des sélections, surtout du lasso (Outil de sélection à main levé) que l’on puisse fermer la sélection lorsqu’on le veut, actuellement ce n’est pas possible. Et tant que ces améliorations ne seront pas faites, je crains que les professionnels restent sur Photoshop, ce qui est vraiment dommage car Affinity est vraiment génial. Moi-même quand j’ai une sélection à faire, je repasse sur Photoshop, ce que je ne voudrais pas, donc s’il vous plaît, améliorez cette fonction. Merci et continuez, Michel Fourcade
  11. Please add some sort of functionality that allows adding, subtracting, intersecting objects marquees and masks in AD and AP through a right-click in the layers palette.
  12. Hello. I am using Affinity Photo. I have an image that has 2 objects in it. I want to cut these objects out of the image to remove the background. The Selection Brush Tool and Refine Selection option is not accurate enough to create and refine the selection boundary. I have created a closed curve around each of the objects in the image. Each curve is on a separate layer. Can I convert these curves to a selection so I can cut them out of the image? I have looked in the Help document and also viewed the videos on the Affinity website but cannot find any information regarding this type of task. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers
  13. Selections - Is there a key shortcut to switch between "Add" and "Subtract" when working with selections? Is there a cheat sheet for all of the key shortcuts for both Designer and Photo?
  14. I purchased AD few days ago, but still cannot figure how to release all clipping masks in imported PDF and select all objects with same fill, stroke, weight, opacity etc. like in Illustrator. And is there any tool similar to Live Paint Bucket? Thanks!
  15. Hi! Sorry about the question, but I only find a way in AD to select an element that is behind another: Go to layers. Then select in this panel the desired element. In FreeHand you can use Ctrl+Click to select an element that is behind another. In QuarkXPress you click with the mouse an with the keys Caps+Option+Command pressed. Then you go back and forth the pile of elements clicking the mouse. That way you can select the desired element. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work! I spend some money in October. And you are the guilty!!! ;) Saludos desde España.
