I’ve been using the tool for over a year and wasn’t aware I could use multiple selections. Learn something new every day. Love the tutorials and living Affinity Photo 2. Thank you.

Nice. I've been using this filter for quite some time and never realized I could add a 2nd and beyond handle.

Actually I founded it useful!!!

[@klausst.8510]

Before I stack a series of astro images, I would like to edit one of them a little beforehand and transfer this editing to all the other images. With lightroom this is quite simple. Is this also possible with Affinity Photo, perhaps using a macro? Perhaps you could even record a video on the subject, I would find that very helpful. Thank you very much!

amazing

It appears that the Remove Background filter is not available in Affinity Photo 2 for iPad. Is that correct? If it is there please tell me where to find it, because I can’t find it. If it isn’t available, please start adding astrophotography items to the iPad version.

Is this filter available on the iPad Pro version?

[@drwatsonismine]

Does this only work on Astrophotography? Can it remove a non Astro photo background?

[@SrinivasRajkumar]

The tools primary purpose is astrophotography but can be used in other photos just like the other tools.
