jcgarcia Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (Picture attached) I selected the subject (which is a person), and blurred out the the background. However, when I blur out the background surrounding the subject, another surrounding blurred marks appears on edges of the subject outside of the selection, which I do not like. I want to get rid of these marks around edges in order to make the subject look sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Welcome to the forum jcgarcia There a very good tutorial on youtube that should help you recover the blurred sections around the person, I have put a link to the tutorial below for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xuxXP5yfws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 There was some discussion about the problem a while back - https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/34531-blurring/ I don't believe the tutorial mentioned above will resolve the issue - the colour from the subject bleeds into the background and is still there even when the subject is "unblurred". I ended up by copying the subject, cloning the background over the edges of the subject (so there's no bleed / halo), applying the blur and then pasting the subject back in. If there's a quicker or more elegant way of doing it I'd love to know what it is. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
