Castle Al Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hello, I don't understand the error I managed to perform... but now, when needing to erase a part of an image, I get a green (composite) background I can't neither use nor change this into transparent. I absolutely need the transparence to see the layers beneath any other... This problem scares me to death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I’m afraid it’s going to be complete guesswork unless you can share the file and tell us where the image came from.

HVDB Photography Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Difficult to say whats going on without a print screen ... So could you upload a full print screen ?

Castle Al Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thanks for having a look. Here is a screenshot. Also, couldn't find our how to get these nice masking seen on the tutos... How could it be more accurate (or less gross)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The problem is you're working on only one channel. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Al Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thank you Wosven!* I must have clicked on these anarchicaly... Any idea why selecting with Brush looks so easy and perfect (even when it comes to hair) on tutos? My results are always terribly bad... *and Alfred, and HVDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I don't know why it looks easy to select when it isn't For selecting the sky, I would usually use the channel where it's more distinct and contrasted (in a CMYK image, using the yellow channel is usually best), select directly on it, or dupplicate and transform this channel to a black and white layer, add a little bit moore contrast if needed, and do the selection.

Castle Al Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Fine! I'll try this out. In Final Cut, there is the color picking, to chose with color scale one wishes to erase. Anthing as direct in Affinity? Or is our advice to make that same operation "easy"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
