How to extract a subject?

[James5]

Need to create a composite image and need to know how to extract a subject from one image and put into a background image.  I've tried using the selection brush, but had no luck. So to sum it up Copy a subject out of one in image and paste into the background. Any help much appreciated.

Hi James5,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

First you have to create a selection of the object you want to extract then copy/paste it to a new document.

Here's a video tutorial covering how to select, refine and create a mask for a subject to isolate it from the background.

Hello James,

 

I provide Tutorials on YouTube with English Subtitles.

Making selections takes part in many videos.

For example

Disintegration Effekt

or

Man without head

 

Many other tutorials will follow.

I hope, these can help.
