How to Correct Imperfection Caused by iPad Photo Background Removal Functionality ?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I wanted to ask this question to all the Veterans and expert users of Affinity Photo here who have been using Affinity Photo from a very long time. My inclination, attraction and how I got drawn attracted to Affinity Photo was, because I was looking for a Software which can perfectly cutout subjects from the background and then I can replace it with a design of a background which I like. 

But I wanted to ask you guys now that remove background from an image is a inbuilt functionality in Apple Photos on the iPads so lets say if I try to remove a background using the inbuilt functionality in the photos APP on the iPad and lets say if it does not do an impeccable job, what are my options ? Is there any way that I can come back here in Affinity Photo and do some kind of touch up and make it more accurate ?

However point to be noted here is, once the background is removed from the image and there is no mask on it, drawing back the imperfections done by AI would be difficult to draw back in right Guys ?

However the other option could be to have a Blank Pixel Layer and then one can try to draw or correct for e.g. (Corners) with the same colour ?

would that be the way to go in such a case ? is my understanding correct ? is that how it will have to be done then ?

If you have a problem with the automatic removal on an image, my suggestion would be not to use it (for that image), and to do the removal in Affinity Photo "the old-fashioned way".

Why do you say that ? is it because once the AI removes the background whatever way it does, it would be difficult to draw anything back in ? is that the reason ?

Buy would this does not work ? Even if I have removed the ba background from the image permanently ? Will adding a new pixel layer and then drawing with the required colour on the image will it not work ? Or will the Quality and effect be not same as drawing into the mask ?

I think it would be difficult. But I'm not going to be trying it.

If you're trying it, and you have specific issues, then perhaps you should ask more specific questions and provide examples of the problem, with before and after files so we can see your problem.
