skiphunt Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi, In the desktop version, after you're straightened and image, or created a panorama, etc. and are left with blank areas around the canvas with no data, there's an easy way to have those areas automatically inpainted/filled based on content in proximity. Much like "content-aware" fills in Photoshop. Is there a way to do with with the iPad version? I know I can manually use the inpainting brush around the periphery, but it's a bit tedious and hit & miss. Any way to fill these areas with auto-inpainting like you can with the desktop version?

Staff MEB Posted July 28, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi skiphunt, As far as i know the inpaint function wasn't implemented in the iPad version. Currently you can only crop to bounds or to the opaque area. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiphunt Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks. That's what I figured. I've been manually inpainting in those parts, but wondered if there was something I was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleG Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It works, but erratically and incompletely. The only way I've found so far to get it to work as skiphunt wants is to Duplicate the layer, rotate and crop, then Rasterize the layer and use Current Layer and Below to Inpaint the transparent sections. Even then, it acts more like the Clone tool than true inpainting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was asking about, and what MEB replied to... is the function of automatically "inpainting" in all of the canvas exposed when you do a panorama or straighten the image. The desktop version does this. You don't have to manually "inpaint" it in like you're describing. The desktop version actually does an awesome job of this consistently, and I'd venture to say even more accurately than Photoshop's "content-aware" fill. However, according to MEB... it doesn't look like that function made it into the iPad version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmstraker Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've just found that you have to rasterise before inpainting into transparent corners (and after canvas stretch). Process: Layer/Rasterise… Select/Alpha Range/Select Opaque Select/Invert Pixel Selection Edit/Inpaint Select/Deselect Macro to do this in one click attached.

LilleG Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Okay, this is twice that the auto-inpaint function in Photo for the desktop has been mentioned. How do I go about using that? I'm using Beta 1.6.4 running under El Capitan and Edit>Inpaint is grayed out in the menu. I'm assuming that is how you find/use auto-inpaint, or should I be looking elsewhere? And what, do I need to do after straightening? Help, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Auto Inpainting only works on Panoramas in the Panorama "Studio". Applied when exiting the Studio if requested to do so If has nothing to do with Edit > Inpaint Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi LilleG, Here's the inpainting tool in the Panorama Persona: To use the Edit ▸ Inpaint command (which is a different thing as carl123 pointed out) you must have a pixel selection active.

LilleG Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Ah, thank you! Now I can stop looking for something that only exists in a Persona that I seldom, if ever, use. Guess I'll go read the Help some more and see if it will tell me what Edit>InPaint is supposed to do and when. Edit: Thanks to both Carl123 and MEB.

Edit > Inpaint works like the Inpainting Brush but it specifically only works on selections. So rather than brushing over the area you want to Inpaint you instead make a selection of the area (using any of the selection tools/methods) then Edit > Inpaint will Inpaint specifically within that selection, using the pixels that are outside but surround that selection It basically the same function as Inpainting but working in a slightly different way, which can be useful in some circumstances.

LilleG Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks again, Carl. I was in process of posting the statement below when you beat me to it. But I always appreciate the helpful responses that you get on this forum. "Help was, as usual, helpful. By pre-selecting all the missing edges after a Rotate, I can use Edit>InPaint to inpaint all of them at once, rather than using the InPaint Brush to do each side individually."

Just to be clear.. this is the desktop version only that we can do the auto-paint/inpaint of extra canvas around a panorama correct? My original post was specifically about doing this in iPad Photo, not the desktop version. We still can't do this on the iPad correct?

Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yes, the screenshot is from the desktop version.

Sharkey Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hello all, bit of a panic. Need to inpatient/fill in the background on their straighten & crop to Landscape. I don't think Cloning will work well enough (method I've used for other shots) Could someone please do the how to simply and quickly for me.

carl123 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 OK understood, but it should do something. Try right clicking on the layer (in the layers panel) and select Rasterise, then try again.

Sharkey Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thank you again Carl. Because it will eventually be quite a small print I have managed with the Clonetool.
