KitKat1947 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi to Forum Members, Can anyone direct me to a tutorial which can show the steps in working along the edge of dogs or cats that have been photographed on a park grassland (including brown leaf litter). I want to cut the dog or cat out of the grass, then blur the grass and trees etc and paste a sharp copy of the dog or cat back onto this blurred background I am sure that this is reasonably straightforward when demonstrated. Watching the video tutorials on VIMEO in the past has been very very helpful to me. I am using Affinity Photo. Windows 10 and HP Laptop. Thanks in advance.

Staff Callum Posted March 29, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi KitKat1947, We don't have any tutorials specifically for working along the edge of dogs or cats in front of grass but if you are having trouble making selections the tutorial video below should help :) Thanks Callum Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

KitKat1947 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 OK, Thanks for the great, rapid, helpful forum response. Now the trick is to get my grey cells to start absorbing this technique. Regards John Edwin Skelton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 This video might be helpful as well. I skipped it ahead to a problem he had with the eyes. He explains how he solved it with the additional tools in the refining selection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyX0-Tcf64Q&feature=youtu.be&t=131 Quote Skill Level: Beginner, digital photography, digital editing, lighting.
