bediicco Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Unfortunately, I still don't understand what i am doing: I want to cut out a person from a photo with the pen tool and have only the cut-out person. I proceed as follows: 1) I load a photo and convert it into a curve 2) I draw on it with the pen tool 3) I mark both layers and try randomly addition, substraction, XOR and all we have 4) At some point i got it Damn... What i am doing? How is that actually right if I just want to cut out and crop a part from the photo in Designer with the Pen Tool? Thanks a lot for the way to do Quote Affinity on iPad 🙌🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I don’t use the iPad software but this sounds like a quite convoluted workflow to do what I think you want to do. I’ve attached a video – make in the Desktop version – where I very quickly and crudely use the Pen Tool and clipping to ‘cut out’ the person. Maybe you can use the same thing, or a similar thing, to do what you want. 2024-08-23 08-26-50.mp4 bediicco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of a reason why it shouldn’t work, because I’m not using any desktop-specific functionalities, but it would be nice to get some kind of confirmation for anyone else reading this. Maybe you could record a video on iPad to show how it’s done with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bediicco Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 It also works exactly this way on the iPad under the condition that the photo is converted into a curve beforehand. You've probably done that before and just can't be seen in the video? Sometimes there are probably different handlings that arise between iPad and desktop due to the different arrangement of all functions etc. in the UI i think.

GarryP Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I didn’t convert the photo to a curve and have never needed to; you can see in my video that the image is always an Image Layer. I can’t think of why you might need to do that. Converting the photo to a curve simply takes the rectangular image shape, makes a rectangular curve from it, and then uses the image as a Bitmap Fill, none of which should be necessary. Maybe it’s different on iPads but I can’t check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Conversion to Curves is not needed. Perhaps you could show us some screenshots, or a recording, @bediicco?
