Poohbear Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I have checked the forum and am doing what everyone says but select inverse does no work from either toolbar or the shortcut. I am trying to blur background. I use the quick selection tool first then refine edge for the hair and click apply. When I use select inverse no ants appear so I can proceed no further. I am sure I am doing something silly but don't know what it is! Thank you Quote
firstdefence Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Which app are you using? Have you actually tried blurring after inverting the selection? Does the layer with the image on say Background (Image) but more importantly the (Image) part? if so right click on that layer and select rasterise and try the blurring. In 1.6.x there is a problem with the marching ants showing, I think this is fixed in the 1.7 beta version Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Poohbear Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 Thank you. I am using 1.6 . I have tried blurring after inverting but the blur is in the wrong place - the subject rather than the background. I did rasterise but it had no effect and still the subject is blurred. Any other ideas please? Pooh Quote
