MartinKoss Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi. I am attempting to place an animal on to a new background. The one I've shown here is just a practice run using a tiger that had a lousy background but the photo isn't what matters, I chose this one because it is difficult to mask. I have 2 layers; the tiger and the background are different layers. I masked the tiger out of the background and refined the selection as best I could figure out on my first attempt in Affinity Photo on iPad Pro. However, I am struggling with a few things; getting a better refined mask and fixing that slight light edge on the tiger. So I'm hoping for any suggestions for fixing this or a link to a tutorial. I've searched but not found a tutorial that covers selective darkening (brushing an area to darken it) and how to get perfect masking around fur. Thanks for reading and I hope this made sense.

Staff stokerg Posted August 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi MartinKoss, We have a good video on refinding masks/selections here which also covers working with fur. To just darken parts of the image, trying use the Burn Brush Tool, it should darken the area you use it over MartinKoss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You could also try the new option...

MartinKoss Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thank you for the suggestions. I did another image where I took a photo I'd taken of a tiger and placed it on a different background and I'm much happier with the results.
