Newbie help with image

[Espen A]

Hi

Need some help with this image i have imported to affinity photo.

What i want is to seperate all the "objects" in the image and treat them individually. I have marked some of them red just as an example.

The reason is because i want to be able to fill the individual "objects" with different colours. 

So i wonder if there are any smart way to do this. And what tools i should use?

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum, 

You can use the pen tool to make accurate shapes, fill them, and then use: Select > Selection from layer and delete, this creates a selection and deletes the curve you have made to create the selection.

Alternatively you can just use the curve shapes and change the blend mode to something like colour if you want to keep the wood texture.

Thanks so much. Will try this asap.

This worked great. Using the curve shape and changing the blend mode to keep the wood texture 😀

Thanks.
