Riegal Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I used the defying function and it worked the first time. Subsequently it doesn't work... doesn't remove the fringe. I used it both under Filters, Colors on the Background layer and as a New Live Filter Layer. Same thing, the red color I want to remove is still there. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Staff stokerg Posted July 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hi Riegal, Can you try viewing the image at 100% and see if the Defringe Filter then works? If it doesn't, could you attach the image you are working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riegal Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Yea, viewed it at 100% up to 400% and it didn't seem to work. I think though the problem is no Affinity per se but how I'm using layers. I don't really understand how they work so I need to study it more (using the Affinity tutorials). Thanks for the offer. If I can work out the layers & still have the problem I'll take you up on your offer if that'd be okay. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If you mean the red line under the guttering on the roof on the right it is working fine for me. With the non-live version use the colour picker to sample the red colour then max out the first 2 sliders and minimize the 3rd one and you should see it working (adjust then to your requirements) With the live filter version my colour picker does not work so i had to estimate the colour first and select it in the dialogue, then max out the first 2 sliders and minimize the 3rd one and you should see it working. Note: When maxed out you will see colour changes in other parts of the image that you do not want, with the live version of the filter you can simply paint over its mask to remove these Riegal 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Riegal Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thank you. Giving your suggestion a try now. Also, got some links on how to use layers properly. That should help, too, since I think that was part of my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riegal Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just tried it with the non-live version. No change. Are you doing it on a layer? I'm doing it on the Background (Pixel) layer. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes, same here Show us a full-size screen shot showing the layer panel and the filter active with the sliders set as previously mentioned Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

carl123 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Your settings look OK to me the only difference is you are on a MAC I am on a PC. We may have to wait for another MAC user to come along and try it on their system to see if there is a problem or not? What MAC version are you on? I attach what it looks like on my PC Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Riegal Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I think I just figured it out. Just watched a video from a link a member sent. It was 10 most common mistakes with layers. Yea, I made one of them. I needed to make it Current Layer & Below. I knew it was layers. I still don't fully understand them, but I think I'm getting there.. In your earlier post you said "with the live version of the filter you can simply paint over its mask to remove these". So okay, that's the next one I need to learn is how to do mask. So far all my editing has been destructive. So when I've done something I don't like it's undo, undo, undo, etc. Or I start completely over. Now's the time to work smarter I guess. Thanks.

kirkt Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Also - when you are defringing something, you are really targeting a specific photographic issue that occurs at high-contrast edges of objects with optics that do not focus the spectrum of light evenly on the sensor. Find an example of fringing (chromatic aberration) and test the filter on it - you will find that it does a pretty good job. In the image you posted, there is no fringing, which may be causing some of your frustration. Kirk Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
