ericosmosNEW Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I do comic coloring using Affinity Photo. For this I use the technique in the video below a lot (just a simplified demo to illustrate what I am asking). I only want to shade the selected parts in one color section. For that I have to subtract all the overlapping parts in the other color areas, which means a lot of clicks. Is there a way to click within the wanted color section and by that “say”: subtract all selection parts in the other color areas? That would save me a lot of time.

Alfred Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 If you only want to add shading to (say) the blue area, select it with the ‘magic wand’ Colour Selection Tool and duplicate the selection to a new layer. Then any work that you do on the new layer will only affect the duplicated area.

ericosmosNEW Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Thx for the idea. Unfortunately not practical for my purposes. Just cumbersome in another way 🤷♂️😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Think different. Instead of subtracting all other colors, use flood selection tool set to mode “intersect”, and click once on the desired color. Should do the job.

ericosmosNEW Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Yes, that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I finally know what this intersect mode is for 😊👍 NotMyFault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
