adroit dreamer Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi humans I've just recently purchased affinity photo. I've never used any sort of photo editing software in my life. I am trying to separate a very detailed and complex drawing from its paper backround so i can edit from there. Its black ink on white paper. I have attached photos of the drawings to better understand. I have watched plenty of videos which explain how to do it in photoshop, but none in Affinity Photo. I started watching the tutorials that are supplied by Affinity, however, I am not aware of which tutorials would specifically benefit me for this project. from what i understand, a lot of the work done should involve masking, white and black adjustments etc.. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I have little to no idea on how to go about this 001.bmp 002.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted February 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hello, Affinity Photo has a special filter that will help you dramatically here. Just open your image and then go to Filters->Colours->Erase White Paper. That filter is designed for this purpose. Your image appears to be on a very yellowed background though, so perhaps you should either adjust the brightness/contrast first, or add a black/white adjustment and slide the yellow slider to maximum first. Remember to merge this down onto the background layer before choosing the 'Erase white paper' filter. Hope that helps, Matt maikuanime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
