malcolmchambers Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If inpainting is used repetively in ends in a clone effect and not a removal of in my case a very creased old photo when these creases are removed the result can be a clone of the image alongside the removed part. ---- the way you have set up the printer menu is completely different toall other print menus it would be more beneficial if it was the same as all others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Welcome to the Affinity Forums, malcolmchambers. :) The behaviour of the Inpainting Brush Tool is completely unconnected with your printer setup, so I'm not sure why you're conflating the two. That aside, I find that I get better results if I keep the inpainting brush size relatively small; painting smaller areas can sometimes help, too, but it seems to vary according to the image.

malcolmchambers Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Sorry imprinting and printer set are two different subjects. Imprinting, With imprinting a photo that needs heavy cleaning the results is cloning of the main subject. When copy and Pasting an object into the main photo the programme will only allow four objects and will never let a fifth one to paste onto the main photo. When will we have the rest of the printer set menu and will fall in line with other printer setups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Sorry imprinting and printer set are two different subjects. Imprinting, With imprinting a photo that needs heavy cleaning the results is cloning of the main subject. I assume you still mean inpainting, not imprinting, right? If so, no inpainting algorithm can extract any visual information from an image that isn't there to begin with, so to some extent they all must 'clone' some part of what is there to replace any part of it. Like Alfred said, smaller sized inpainting brushes often work better (because nearby small areas of the image are more likely to have similar visual characteristics) but if you use the brush repetitively on the same area the algorithm still can only compare what is there to nearby ones, so the 'clone effect' is likely to become increasingly obvious because the entire area begins to take on the same geometric & textural characteristics. As with traditional non-digital retouching/inpainting techniques, sometimes for the best results it is necessary to add visual information from another source, for example by copying some other part of the same image or (when possible) from another similar image into the area you want to repair & blending that in, which may give the inpainting algorithm more to work with or negate the need to use it on all or part of that area. The copying & pasting issue you mentioned in your second post seems to be unrelated to either inpainting or printing, so maybe you could explain a bit more about that?

Alfred Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 When will we have the rest of the printer set menu and will fall in line with other printer setups Please create a separate thread to discuss this issue. It would be helpful if you could describe which particular aspects of the Print dialog you find difficult to work with. The copying and pasting issue would probably also benefit from being discussed in a separate thread.

malcolmchambers Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 When cut out and pasting into another photo I find that I can only past four items the fifth one will not past at all, the only way this can be done is to copy the subject onto a plank page where is becoming enlarged by five times reduction is possible the then reduced in copied onto the main photo but cannot be moved or resized. How do I get around this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolmchambers Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Printer setup, when I send an object to the printer (in my case A Brother Inkjet)I can see exactly what size the paper is and the size of the image, which is unlike that what you get with Affinity Photo where you get a list as long as your arm and everything is based on A3 with the need to work out the percentage of reduction of the final image. It also takes a different route through the printer that needs feeding one sheet at a time, I would much prefer to have the age old standard applied to this programme malcolmchambers Advanced Member Members 1,434 posts LocationScotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
