Hi there and thank you for the useful tutorial combining several tools to make/subtract your selection. I think the reason your example works so perfectly is because the sky is a smooth grey/blue color with no texture. I have been using your example to attempt a sky replacement in a much more complicated exterior house photo where the sky contains blotchy grey textures mixed with the many fine branches of trees in the foreground and try as I may, I cannot create a perfect matte of the sky without excluding the cloud textures or leaves in the trees. My best attempt left the outline of the tree branches looking very artificial and un natural and feathering will not fix it- only makes it worse. I conclude that certain complicated tree lines mixed with blotchy sky textures may be simply impossible to effectively remove, leaving tree branches and leaves intact. I know it can be done. Just can't get it right.
@RobinWhalleyАй бұрын
My example does work because of certain features in the image, but not in the way you are thinking. Creating a sucesful cut out or selection begins with understanding the photo and the charactoristics. You then need to select the best tool or combination of tools to use. The point of this video was to show that a single tool won't make the selection and they need to be combined. Which tools I chose to use were determined by the image. Had I used a different photo I may have used a different combination of tools. It's difficult for me to understand your example without seeing it but somethign like combining a mask from one fo the colour channels (RGB or CMYK) with the brush tool and Refine Selection dialog may be the way to go. Have you seen my book "How To Select It"? It describes this in detail and includes a range of examples using different selection techniques and tool combinations.

@RobinWhalley thank you for the reply and understand the fault is mine and certainly not your examples. I have not seen your book but will check it out.

great reminders I should re-explore that you have explained very well . More like the "old way" and often far better than using the "refine" tool IMO -- it's good but most companies make their "tools" look far then they really are . In fact the refine tool can be frustratingly poor at times . Saving selections: a keyboard shortcut makes that so easy; something I use for most selections and even part selections as work progresses . Tip for the less experience if I may : the most important tool is often your patience and it's never as easy as many show it be .

Excellent video for Affinity Photo and a classic "job" for pixel editors. Might be interesting to use the same image in Capture One with the Magic Brush. My guess is it will be at leats as easy to select the Sky etc while remaining in raw. Would also illustrate why most people have moved from Photoshop to LR for the bulk of their raw photo processing.
@RobinWhalley2 жыл бұрын
Personally, I haven't found the Magic Brush as accurate or controlable as the tools in Affinity. I wasn't able to create the same selection as well as the calculation taking a log time to complete. As for remaining in RAW, it would depend on what you intend to do with the selection but I understand where you're coming from with the suggestion. I think most of the RAW processors need to evolve further before they can really challenge the likes of Affinity and Photoshop selection tools.
@ianyorke26172 жыл бұрын
@@RobinWhalley Interesting, I have found the Magic Brush to be very good in the type of image you used in your example. You can vary the sensitivity of the colour/luma selection for each brush stroke if necessary and then you have the normal C1 feather and refine sliders to fine tune the mask. Instead of deselecting areas that have been selected you just use the erase brush. You can even apply a luma selection to the final mask if needed. C1 also gives you the ability to reuse the mask and even invert it. So although C1 isn't as powerful as a pixel editor it now goes a long way for me in limiting the need for a round trip.
@RobinWhalley2 жыл бұрын
@@ianyorke2617 Yes, I tested it with different sensitivities but I still couldn't create as good a selection. It also took a long time to calculate which makes me wonder if it was hitting a problem.
@ianyorke26172 жыл бұрын
@@RobinWhalley Possibly could have been a problem it's fast on my Windows desktop. The first time you use the Magic Brush on an image it creates a bitmap reference image which can take a moment or two, so that future brush strokes are fast. I see the Magic Brush as something like NIK U-Point. The pixels you include under the brush stroke determining the colour/luma range of the selected pixels but additive to the selection each time you add a brush stroke. Unlike the selection tool in Affinity the Magic Brush does give you control over the range of colour/luma selected so that is an advantage? You can click on some fall leaves and maybe most are selected, click on the ones that aren't and only the ones that match the clicked area are added to your selection. Want to include the sky as well click on the blue sky and you get the blue sky selected without the white clouds. So leaves and sky in one selection in a few clicks. Feather and refine selection to taste. Personally I find the Magic Brush very good on C1 22. Might be worth a second look?

At about 0:40 where the "Masked area" is indicated by the ruby overlay - can one Inverse the mask area and selection area? Many times it is simpler (for me anyway) to view the "selected area" indicated by a red (or any color I choose) overlay as opposed the other way round. A feature that I rely heavily on when working in PS. I have never been a big fan of the Magic Wand Tool in PS and rarely use it. It's too unreliable. Although by early standards in the photo/graphics industry the red (or rubylith area) always denoted a "Mask", I prefer to think of the red overlay as the "Selection" area. (Can the mask/selection overlay be changed to any color of ones choice? (E.g. When making a selection of a red car. Can One change the color of the overlay to green?) Great tutorials, BTW. You are obviously very knowledgeable of the subject and quite thorough in your explanations.

I'm sorry I don't know of a way to invert the mask overlay like you can with Photoshop. That's not to say that it isn't possible it's just that I don't know how.

Just can't get the flood selection tool to single click and define the sky. It either takes just part of the sky or extends into the foreground. And then if I switch to the selection brush tool and try to correct, it just messes things up even worse.

The Flood Select tool is a bit of a blunt instrument. It works great when there is say a clearly defined blue sky set against a hard horizon. Most of the time creating good selections is about know which tool to use and how to start. I would suggest if you are going to use the Selection Brush, start with that. Then make sure you set the controls correctly for the brush. You need to resize the brush and also change the magnification as you work. This video may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/opizYnuGast_ocU

Finally I found the solution: in the layers overview there is a small icon, can be "A" for text, pixels, and an icon of picture. If you have the picture icon, you CAN NOT copy paste. First you have to make a pixel graphics out of it. Suddenly it works. Now the Affinity works very well!

I know it's a subjective preference, but it's driving me bananas that I cannot (as far as I can tell) invert the display of the quick mask so that it shows selected areas like you can in Photoshop. I also cannot change the color or opacity of the quick mask. If you're masking off a red object it becomes difficult to tell what you're doing. When I look at this example in my mind the trees are what's selected with the transparent red color, not the sky.

As far as I know, only thing you can change with the mask colour is making it Black, White or Transparent. That's in the dropdown to the immediate right of the Quick Mask icon in the toolbar. Using Black may make it more obvious but it makes it more difficult to edit at times.

To show how precise the selection was - you should have used it to replace the sky - with a demonstration of the refinement tools available to make the small branches merge seamlessly into a new background color.

Ah yes, but then I have another video planned in the pipeline to explain the sky replacement element of the process.

Affinity need to get this to a 1 click ai solution. Even in your examples there are still endless amounts of horizon, fog and hills still selected and it's too time consuming comp6to other products. I love affinity to bits and swapped to them over a year ago but this is one area where they are way behind in a simple solution

Having used many AI "1 click" solutions of competing products, they produce no where near the quality of results you can achieve with a little care in Affinity Photo. To be fare, you can also achieve the same quality in Photoshop using these "old school" techniques. If you want fast OK results that fool 50% of people then AI is great but if you want to produce exceptional quality you need to learn how to use the tools and see what they can do.

And everyone told me that Affinity Photo doesn't have good selection tools like Photoshop! This convinced me to leave Adobe. Thanks!

You can do a lot with the Affinity Tools and they are very good. What I've found is that the people who criticise them compared to Photoshop are looking for features that automate the selection. Affinity can't yet compete with Adobe in that space although I hope that they do develop something.

Consider compressing your VO a little less. It is quite annoying hearing the exaggerated attack of every consonant.

Thanks for the tip. It was done with this video to remove the echo. I was having to record in an empty office for quite a few months and trying to remove the echo was a nightmare. It's been gradually improving new furnishings arrived.
