windwolf98 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Im trying to cut people and objects out from its original background and place it on another photo to do composites. I have been trying and followed one video but it seems hit or miss. Is there a better way of doing it in V2? This photo here remover her from this background and place her in another background Cheers, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Although it's slower, use the pen tool, you get a editable mask to tweak as you see fit and it works well on fiddly backgrounds. Did this quickly to show what can be done in a short space of time. pen tool mask example.afphoto pen tool mask example.afphoto Callum 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Exporting the girl Select the background layer with the move tool active (V) on the keyboard File > Export > PNG > Selection Only > Export Give the file a meaningful name and save to a folder That should help you, you should now be able to place the girl into any image you want.
