Frank Leeming Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 In PagePlus X9, cutting out an object in a photo was so simple. You went to the "cutout studio" and it happened. Is there a fast and simple way to cut out an object using Affinity Photo? My goal is to be able to wrap text around the object. Thanks. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 In Photo, you can make a pixel selection with one of the selection tools, then Copy or Cut it. If you didn't Open the image, but Placed it or dragged it into Photo or pasted it into another document then you probably have an (Image) layer rather than a (Pixel), and you'll need to Rasterize the layer before you can operate on its pixels.

timrxnj Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 So are you saying you can not use something easy Like the Cut Out tool in page Plus? If not, is there a Cut Out Tool in Photo that works as easy as the Tool in Page Plus? Thanks Quote
GarryP Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 If you can give us an example of what you want to do then someone can probably advise. Quote
LaraLou Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I have just downloaded the trial addition as my family have been unwell. I am tryin to establish how to cut out a with the cut out studio tool in X9? I have rasterised the image but can't get the selection brush tool to work as with the cut out studio there is no undo? it seems to like to cut out far too much? is there any way of ggetting round this as I want to purchase the full versions but will stick with old faithful page plus if it isn't possible Thanks Quote
GarryP Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Welcome to the forums. If you can give us an example of what you want to do – what sort of image you have, what you want to “cut” out of it, and what you want to do with the “cut out” part – then we can advise further. (Not all of us have used X9, so we don’t all know how that works). The more information you can give us – preferably visual, in this case – the better. Quote
pruus Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 If you take some time and look at the several tutorials, then selections and cutting out will be no problem. See for example this tutorial. Quote
