Samstu Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi i painted this canvas, photographed it several times in different lights and for some reason the background colour is much bluer than on the original. I’ve changed a portion of the background to the more grey of the original but with the softness of the sheeps fur where it meets the background, it would make it very difficult to completely alter the background colour. The colours of the sheep are quite close to the original. Can anyone suggest a way of making the background colour more grey, either at the photography stage or in affinity photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Its not that hard a mask with the Selection brush then Refine. I suggest you try HSL and use the color picker to select the blue and desaturate it a bit. Then mask that as there's bits of blue on the sheep.
