EllenK Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 hi I'm totally new to Affinity Photo. I'm making the product photo's for our company. I have to extract our product from the background, I already found the Flood select tool and the Background eraser. That works perfect for contrasting colors, but we also have a lot of (small) silver or white colored articles. In Photoshop Elements I could use the Lasso tool to make a sharp selection and copy it to a layer and if the lines weren't straight I could just make a small selection with the lasso to delete it. With an eraser it doesn't work that straight. How do I do this in Affinity Photo? I've tried several video tutorials and looked into the FAQ where is spoken about the Lasso tool, but I can't find it in Photo. With the Flood select tool there is too little difference in colors of background and product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Welcome to the forums @EllenK It's nice that you have found your own solution but could you post some links to the tutorials which you found useful so that other people in the same situation can also find them?

EllenK Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 I saw this tutorial and found out I could add more tools to the toolbar on the left. by looking there I found the Lasso tool and by looking at the bottom of the screen I found the way to make straight edges.
