Affinity Photo Messy edges on masks? As designed??


Recommended Posts

Hi, Slightly confused here.

 

Making masks based on hair selections - created 'new layer with mask' and the like, tried a few variations.

 

Free mask, to 'restore' the layer back to the unmasked version, but...

 

The now unmasked layer has completely destroyed and messy edges around where the mask use to be?

 

I'm guessing that this is as designed, and something that AF does in order to smooth the pixels where the masking occurs?

 

Could anyone confirm this, and is there an easy way to get the original lay back, without the modified edges?

 

Thanks!

Wayne

You could delete the Mask and start again or you could refine the existing Mask by going to Layer > Refine Mask. The Refine selection tool is more than capable of fine selections such as hair. These video tutorials will give you a better idea of what's possible: Selection Refinement & Refining selections

 

If you upload the document you're working on i'm sure we can help further :)
