iMac1943 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 on the left you see the tutorial, on the right you see my photo. I clicked on the inpainting brush to delete the black in the middle. But I don't have the orange color while painting as on the example. Sometimes when first switching to an other knob and then going back to inpainting brush, it works. I have Affinity Photo 1.3.5 Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi iMac1943, The Inpainting Brush doesn't work on Image Layers it needs to be a pixel layer. If you right click your layer and click Rasterise you will be able to use the Inpainting Brush on it. I hope this helps :) C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMac1943 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yes, thank you, that helps a lot.What is the difference between an Image Layer and a Pixel Layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2015 An Image Layer is treated like a shape or a text object while a Pixel Layer is a just a "container" for raster data you can work with. When you rasterise an image you're "converting" it from an object as an entity to a raster container that is editable. C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

iMac1943 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thank you Callum. I have a question I asked here before, but I cannot reproduce it again. See my screen print. I doubled the photo, made it smaller. I must keep the green doors but above and under the doors I need to see the floor and wall of the original photo. How do I do that? Thank you for helping me here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMac1943 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think I understand it now - as Allan said: "select the mask then use CMD + I to hide the mask" and then "paint back in the picture (= what I want to be seen = the green doors) with white as the foreground colour and set the brush hardness to 0%, so that the (added) doors come on the foreground. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi iMac1943, That way is correct. However I would use the Pen Tool to draw around the area you wish to keep and then covert it into a selection and then invert the selection and press delete. This will delete the parts you don't want from your scaled down picture. If you provide the document I would be able to make a video showing you how to do this.

iMac1943 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 A video? That should be very very nice Callum. I post here the original photo. As you see, at the end is a gate. I doubled the photo, made it smaller and placed it at the end (see picture 1). In that way the hall seems to be endless. Picture 2 is the original photo. Thank you for your great help!

iMac1943 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Good morning Callum, will you find the time to make that video? I really hope it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi iMac1943, Here is the link to the video I have made. I have no microphone so there is no sound sorry! In the video I show how I would do what I think you wanted to achieve its a bit rushed so obviously when you do it you will be able to take your time and do a better more precise job :) C MEB 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

iMac1943 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I can see the way you worked. New to me, and very helpful is the way you switch between the black and white. Am I correct you didn't used the pen tool? Regards, Luc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 25, 2015 I experimented with the Pen Tool but I decided that this way was actually better sorry I should have mentioned that! :) C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
