Planz Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I am new to Affinity Photo and still learning. Could someone explain how move an object and have the area it was moved from inpainted. I'm looking to do something like the content aware move in photoshop. I know that tool is not available in Affinity, but I saw references that it could be done. I just don't know how. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Planz and Welcome to the Forums, I can think of a couple of ways i can think to do this: You could select the object you want to move using the Selection brush and then copy and paste into the new location and use the Inpainting brush to remove the original object. Or you could use the Clone tool, to clone the object in the new location and then use the inpainting to remove the original object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Pretty much what stokerg said but I would make a selection, press Ctrl + J to place that selection on a new, independent layer. Hide it momentarily so you can see what you are doing. Select the base layer again (the selection area is already made), then go Edit > Inpaint (the shortcut is Alt + Backspace) to inpaint it. Will probably need a bit of local retouching, depending on the subject. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planz Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thank you. I've tried both methods and got them to work. Not sure why I didn't think of that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
