Matthew Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I wonder if anyone can assist. I am cutting out some head and shoulder portraits in order to change background colour. I use the selection brush and then refine and export as a mask. Immediately before I export the cut out looks perfect, very neat. After export however I get a slight halo around the edge of the cut out. How can I prevent this? Unless I'm mistaken I haven't had this issue with previous versions of Affinity photo. I attach a couple of before and after screen shots showing the halo after export. Thank you, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Justin Posted October 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2016 Output the refined selection to a new layer instead of to a mask. This will remove the original background colour from any semi-transparent pixels, something that will not be done by masking.
