Hi All,

 

I have created a mask that I am fairly happy with of a fairly complicated scene but one that has fairly good contrast.  However when I create a mask using that selection, the mask comes up with all sorts of translucencies.  I want a simple inside the selection is solid white and outside is solid black, not varying translucency. I know this is Affinity trying to be smart however in this instance it is really not helping me!  Is there any way to turn off the 'smart selection' (not edge selection, it is picking the edges well). I'm happy to upload the file if someone can show me how to!

I have tried the selection brush with refine, selecting blue only, selecting by colour selection with a moderate tolerance but they all result in translucent masks.  I know it is something I am doing/not doing but I cannot find any tutorials that address this issue, all the tutorials make it look so easy which is why I am getting frustrated.

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Upon downloading both the above files, neither actually suffices for a publication quality photo.  Both include partial transparency of the the silver wires in places, edges are very jagged and not all the background is removed.  The first one is missing quite a few silver wires, I think the select by sampled colour with quite tight tolerance may work but it will be a lot more than 20 clicks in order to get publish quality results.  Thanks for the ideas and tips!
