Jeff282 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Affinity Photo Beta: I wanted to remove a sign post and man walking. I placed a rectangle around the sign post, no problem. I located the Inpainting brush and painted over the selection. The Inpainting began working but left a ghost of the sign. I repeated the Inpainting but first checked that Opacity was at 100%. The Inpainting began working but left a ghost again. I tried a third time but now the Inpainting copied an area adjacent to the sign and placed it in the rectangle. I tried again with a different photo and got the same result. I changed the technique by using the Selection Brush tool and then the Inpainting brush. Identical result right down to ghosts and on the third attempt I got a copy of an adjacent area. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted November 15, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 15, 2016 Try In-painting smaller sections at a time. When you do the whole section in one go it will look for a section of your photo that matches the edges so keeps finding the offset larger area. Removing a large part of an image with the Inpainting brush will always take time and experimentation. As far as I know all Inpainting methods in other Apps will struggle with a single large section. This is what I managed to do in about a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
