Return Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 @TrentL Switching between black/white could be better explained as just X not shift+X (although that works too) and maybe add a mention for the shortcut to make the default black/white by pressing D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you could create a mask for the person in the back and paint black on the areas occupied by the people in the front. My incredibly rough 30-second example is below. You could also duplicate the layer with the people, create a mask for the people in the front, and apply it to the top layer of people. Then you could freely move any object between the people layer and the background layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bijutoha Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I especially liked how you explained the difference between deleting and masking, and how to use gradients and shapes to create masks.

I was trying to learn the technique of how to do it. Below is my super quick and dirty example. Tip: you can temporarily make the bride's transparency 50% so you can more easily see through her and determine which parts to mask out. wedding photo.afphoto 3.21 MB · 2 downloads Yeah, you could add a mask for the bride and then paint solid black onto the mask where the people in the front are. You could also do some tweaking of the lighting (maybe set the white point of the bride), but that is another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affinityconfusesme Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I hid the post pretty much right after I uploaded it to hide from people. It was only available for a very short time.
