How to Cut Out Hair in Affinity Photo 2 iPad

[@cotyoran0652]

The way Affinity Photo selects the hair is just magical. They really created an alternative road against Adobe. And they are far better than Photoshop in iPad no doubt witj just one-time purchase. I really liked this program.

[@Buceadorable]

Fantastic tutorial, mate. This was my first tutorial on Affinity’s photo app and I learned a lot not just about hair, but about the app as a whole. Love the app now, and look forward to your other tutorials.

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks Gabriel! Your comment made my day, I really appreciate it and am so happy to hear it helped you :)

[@yasminefromagrabah5458]

I learn so much from your videos! I’m new working with affinity.. I struggle a little with cutting out watercolor backgrounds and illustrations…

[@Roddriley]

Nice tutorial. I've tried with a busy background it's really though to refine specifically with complicated hair cut. A color grading video on dark skin d be awesome

[@CreativeGoodman]

You're 100% Riley, it doesn't work as well with a busy background and I'll add that color grading tutorial to my to-do list :)

Hi mate, great video as always, do you have a vid tutorial on how to make a glass look transparent on affinity 1 for ipad?

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks Falah! I haven’t made a video like that yet but I’ve just added it to my video todo list! :)

Hi sir I really like your tutorial video. I’m interested in getting Affinity 2 for my iPad Pro. I’ve doing real estate photography quite awhile and I have really hard time on my workflow due to the tool that limited compare to desk version. I can not raw photo from Lightroom to photoshop, can’t select multiple photos edit in photoshop as layers , No alignment, No polygonal. Therefore I want to which my workflow. Do you think that possible?

[@CreativeGoodman]

Sorry Sotthea, only just saw this comment now... I think all this is more than doable in AP2 iPad, I only found out about AP as PS on the iPad wasn't too good. LMK if I can help :)

[@davidmarshall5665]

Hi Andrew, could you do a video on painting layers in on iPad v2 as I can’t seem to do it. Thanks

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks for your suggestion David... what exactly do you mean by 'painting layers in' apologies as I'm just not sure what you mean sorry :)

[@davidmarshall5665]

@@CreativeGoodman how to use the paint brush to hide and reveal because sometimes it works for and sometimes it doesn’t and I can’t work out why.

[@ahirunakamura9592]

New sub here, thanks for covering AP2 (most stuff I look for is for the other version and things are quite different for me as a new user). I’m baffled of how much the app crashes (iPad Pro 12.9” 2021, latest OS) when using those sliders on the side, specially feather and unsharp mask pixel range. Is there a way to implement a threshold to prevent those sliders to go up (or negative) beyond a reasonable amount?

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks for the sub Ahiru! Regarding the app crashing on your iPad Pro 12.9" 2021, I'm on the iPad Pro 12.9" 2020 with the latest OS too and its only crushed once for me when saving. Sorry to hear that you're experiencing that issue, honestly not sure why that would be. Maybe possible that the app is struggling to handle the large number of pixels when you adjust the feather or unsharp mask pixel range sliders? As for your question if you tap the % value at the top of any slider, you will be able to change the value much, much easier :)

[@MieDesignedLife]

You helped me tremendously!!! Thank you!

[@SuperJamesus]

Great tutorials, somethings driving me bonkers though. Once I have done this process as I have how can I get back in to my refine mask settings as I need to edit it for selection of hair with matte setting. Unlike the desktop version there doesn’t seems to be an obvious option to edit mask. I would really appreciate any help? Side gripe: I love the price point for the affinity suite hence I purchased it but as a new users coming from photoshop ( years ago) the iPad version I find pretty slow to work with due to being not very intuitive. Things that I feel should be a one click process to find seem to be ass backwards. Anyway sure I will learn but somethings grrr very slow process

[@kenwallace6154]

Hi, Andrew. Love your work. Could you show how to enlarge a whole eye at some point in the future. I used to use liquify in photoshop many years ago. Can’t figure it out in Affinity on the iPad. Keep up the good work. I love all your vids, mate. Cheers.

[@kenwallace6154]

P.S Or if you could point me in the right direction how I could go about it using IPad v2. I’d be truly greatful

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks so much for your comment and kind words Ken, I really appreciate it! I will add this to my todo video list… just so I know exactly what you mean… do you mean, make it really big ie nearly cartoon like or just a little bigger and still realistic? Thanks again :)

[@kenwallace6154]

Thanks, mate. Yes, just a little bigger, realistic.

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

That was great! So simple, so quick.

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks, glad it helped! :)

[@PlusPassie]

So happy with this tutorial. Learned so much! Again!

[@CreativeGoodman]

You're welcome, thanks Margriet! :)

[@birdie399]

Thanks for the video, very helpful and informative.

[@CreativeGoodman]

Thanks and glad to hear you found it useful! :)

[@justfatima119]

Hi good sir. I tried doing this to a RAW photo and it’s not working 😢 what type of photo did you use in this tutorial? Thank you.

[@CreativeGoodman]

This photo was a Jpg Fatima, try following this tutorial with a Jpg or save your RAW photo as a Jpg and it should work :)

[@Valskie_]

Hi Andrew, could you recreate all the tutorials for us to affinity v2 version?

[@CreativeGoodman]

I think I will Valen... it just might take a while but will mix in some new ones too, thanks for your comment :)

[@Valskie_]

@Andrew Goodman Thank you so much.. I've learned a lot and been inspired by your videos, your videos are very helpful for me.. warm greetings from Indonesia 😁

[@CreativeGoodman]

Sorry I'm only replying now to your comment Valen, thanks so much for your kind words and I'm so, so happy to hear I've inspired you :) and from Indonesian, brilliant! Happy New Year :)

[@tejasbhandari24]

Hi Andrew I’m bit confused if I should buy v2 or stick with the older version for some time . One thing that can convince me to upgrade if we can change the colour of the object in the HSL to a specific colour by putting its hex value .Can you please check if they have added this feature in V2 . You also made a video on it the changing colour of the car but you changed the colour with the wheel. Can you please check if they have add hex code insertion tab there .Perhaps you can make a very helpful video on it like you always do 👍

[@CreativeGoodman]

Firstly, thanks so much for your kind words :) Secondly, buying V2 or sticking with V1 really comes down to personal choice & needs Tejas. It depends on what you use it for and how often you use it. If you only use AP the odd time, I'd stick with V1 or if money is an issue I'd also stick with V1. From what I understand you will be able to keep using V1 for a good while, the issue will come when maybe Apple update the iPadOS and V1 will not work as Affinity has said they will not update it. As for your question, I've had a look and from what I can see 'HSL to a specific colour by putting its hex value' is still not possible. They've updated it a bit but not in regards to adding a hex value. Hope this helps and if not lmk :)

[@tejasbhandari24]

@@CreativeGoodman hi thank you so much for the confirmation . I don't have any reason to upgrade to V2 than . Btw planning for 2023 MacBook pro . And it will be better if I buy the all platform bundle later next year maybe . Btw great content please keep on putting tutorials it really helps 👍👍👍

You're welcome :)

[@lamarrion]

This works so much better in affinity photo 1. 2 is just too sloppy. Everything is just better in one. I see now. I was on a new layer. Don’t know if it worked like that. But when I went on a duplicate layer it worked fine. Still not better than 1 😊

[@CreativeGoodman]

Some things in 1 I prefer also, to be honest... that said, I don't think I've been back into 1 since I got version 2 :)

[@millel1986]

Dunno why eveytime I select something (and try to do it carefully) and then click refine, everything turns red, including my selection

[@CreativeGoodman]

That's odd Luis, try it with a different photo to see if it does the same thing with a new photo, lmk how you get on :)

[@dibi2503]

This was easy, like candy, why don't you pick up something like a background with dark shades.
