Staff Lee D Posted July 14, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi macca1980, Do you have any or filters or adjustments applied to the image, like a blur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 15, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi macca1980, Without the .afphoto file is hard to guess what's going on. Apparently seems you've used a large matte brush around the boundaries, but that blur looks strange.

macca1980 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 hi there, not used any other filters , just a photo imported into affinity, made a quick selection using the brush then used the matte brushes around the edges like it said in the tutorial on site. never changed any settings. it looks great on the preview then when i select apply it goes all blurry like the attached image Unfortunately i had to go back into photoshop to complete this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca1980 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 tried again on another image.... i even reduced the matte brush to 10px. apply as a new layer with mask still the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca1980 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 please help. there are no edits at all to the image , no plugins nothing. fresh copy of affinity installed really blurry edges when using matte brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca1980 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 it doesnt look anything like the blurred mess when you are actually using the tool. it appears to select amazingly well, its only when you click apply that it goes all blurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca1980 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Got a refund . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Strawberry Monkey Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi Macca, glad you got your refund. TBH in my experience I've achieved great results. Like MEB mentioned without seeing the file its hard to say whats going on, I would of uploaded for the guys to take a look rather than just a screenshot as that wont necessary identify the issue. These two shots show you can get awesome results. Allan Quote About me: Trainer at Apple, Freelance Video Editor, Motion Graphics Artist, Website Designer, Photographer. Yes I like creating things!!!

Matt01 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Hi, Has this problem been solved? I have the same problem. I make a selection with Selection Brush tool. Refine edge - standard settings (although I have tried different setting), use brush to select hair etc. Everything looks fine, just like Photoshop. Output to new layer with mask. The area I used the refine edge brush are blurry, and if I use a white bush to paint away the mask the image i pixelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
