Alfred Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Welcome to the Affinity Forums, classart. :) Inpainting is essentially smart cloning. If you aren't getting the result you want, try again after changing the brush size.

Bri-Toon Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The inpainting brush takes everything that is around the brushed area and merges those sections in place of the unwanted area. That is why you are getting a clone effect. Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

Bri-Toon Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Could you please provide an example of the image? Some times, depending on how complex, the inpainting isn't always accurate.

Bri-Toon Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 That looks like a more complex example. If there was a repeated pattern behind you, then the inpainting brush would work more appropriately. In this case, it's trying to calculate an inbetween of several unoccurring shapes. Therefor, it is taking the white on the bottom of the frame, the black and white on the corner region, and the yellow on the wall, as a merger. Even though it's a longer workaround, you might be better off using the Clone Tool, unless someone thinks of something better. I'm sorry if that's not very helpful. If you were standing in front of the solid yellow wall and not the painting, the operation would work a lot better. Quote The website is still a work in progress.

JokeRat Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The problem here is - as bleduc already perfectly explained - is that AD has a hard time calculating the "wanted" background. In this particular case it's even worse, as it's impossible for AD to get the information behind the person and that's pretty relevant (as it is a painting/art). As you can see in my veeeeeery dirty and quick example it calculates a black area but the image hints more of a white area behind the person (but one can't even know for sure).

foxdavis Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I am also having a hard time getting this right. I'm know it's not 100% perfect but I'm trying to remove this car and it's not working at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I had a go at it. This is just a quick work. The inpainting brush isn't the right tool, I think. What I did, was to make a selection of the upper right corner. Used the move tool to slightly stretch it. Flipped it upside down and moved it over the man. I made a selection of the part of the man outside the painting and used edit>fill inpaint. Then I had to clone to even out the "ghost" of the man.I also cloned inside the painting to get rid of the obvious edges. I cropped it, so the black shadows in the bottom disappeared.(I feel somehow like Iv'e done something illegal.. and that the photo is more or less meaningless.)

Alfred Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Your picture doesn't show. New user 'foxdavis' has only made one post so far. I think we need to make two or three posts before the file attachment feature becomes available.

Aeros4 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 As I understand what the Inpainting algorithm does, then it is asking the impossible to have it faithfully reproduce what is behind the man. The camera that took the original could only see on one plane, thus removing the man digitally would just show what is on the next layer down, or if there is no layer then it would show the canvas colour. In short this is not possible, one would have to re-shoot the painting without the figure. Maybe magic has its limitations too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classart Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 This exactly what I did re-shoot the painting without the figure. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
