Two hints: - you don't have go to subtract by pushing the button on UI. Just push alt and selection tool will start subtracting. - you don't have to do ctrl+c, ctrl+v to separate selection on new layer. Just do ctrl+J. It does just that.
This tool is useful with the right image and done carefully, like in this video. I love how you added to what was already there. That's when it works and it looks great. Thank you for sharing!
Very good indeed, Olivio! I have tended to virtually only use Gaussian Blur in recent times, however will definitely be using this technique. No haloes - great!
You definitely gain another subscriber with notifications included. You're a real professional, I was looking for the correct way to blur background without the halo effect, well done
Thank you Olivio. You are my fav teacher for Affinity software. I find also amazing that you offer free samples from your assets. With this people can check out the need and quality of the assets without to shed out money first and regret later the purchase of the full pack. (Happens to me many time ) .
Have really appreciated the sharing of the expertise here, Olivio, as I have said many times before. Just a minor comment, after the refining of the selection of the young lady (they are all young to me!), you output as a "selection", then use Cntl + c, then Cntl + v to copy her into the layer above. It would seem much more straightforward, to, at the finish of the Refine stage, to choose to apply as a "New Layer". This would make life easier and simpler for those emulating your tutorial. Nevertheless, I know that you are producing these at an enviable pace. We are so lucky to share the results! Best wishes
So glad I found your page. I'm new to photo editing and I find your tutorials really easy to understand. This one is a lot of fun, I can't wait to try it!
That's great, Olivio. Thank you. A shame if we want to blur the middle of a picture and keep the outside sharp. I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
WOW! Thank you again, Olivio. I had forgotten about the depth of field usage until now. Of course, you made this really easy to use in order to make a photo much better when the camera's f/stop was not higher to get that depth of field that was needed during shooting.
You're tutorials are amazing. Affinity photo is very powerful. Adobe really need to have a rethink about their pricing structure. Since using AP, I've hardly touched PS. Thank you.
You didn't explain how you refined the selection...not everyone knows the shortcuts or techniques around 4:54 . Is that some kind of automatic function or are you using a shortcut key? I don't get the same selection when I do it.
I'm doing 3d work in Daz 3d studio and the DOF works so-so, so i thought there must be a nice way to accomplish this in Affinity and Olivio must have a fantastic tutorial on it. I was right. Thanks again. :-)
Hello. Should this work in the latest update? I tried this and I didn't get the filter to work. I did everything as instructed. Thank you if have time to answer and help me out!
Hello, I have a problem in the selection tool in which I have an object that I select; however, when selecting again with the FLOOD SELECTION TOOL or brush for the holes inside the object are selected its outside selected part disappears. How do I have them all included with the selection as a whole to keep them as one object? CONFUSED PLEASE HELP!
look above your image while you have the selection brush active. There will be buttons for add and subtract. you need to use them to define what mode of the selection brush you want to use.

My favorite tool in affinity.
Rite Olivio Dude, Just tried this on a woodland picture and it popped! TFS, GB :)
Very good tutorial, i like it.
That was excellent, thank you very much, Olivio.
Glad you liked it!
Can you teach how you would use depth of field using a z-depth map? There isn't really a tutorial about it on affinity photo
Superb tip!
very nice tuto, really pro, thanks
excellent! I will use this tool more often now. Be well
Thanks, you too!
Great tutorial
That is fantastic - thanks
nice. actuall useful content
You can can this with one of the phone blur apps, just blur the right side in about 15 seconds vs. 25 minutes on Affinity
Wow 🙏👀🤔👁️👁️👁️ fantastic Olivio
Have a great Saturday night
Thank you! You too!

Thank you so much 😀
Great hint thank you.
Very handy indeed.
Thank you :)

@@OlivioSarikas okay thanks.
SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Thnxx
You are welcome :)
Show!
Guys, once you have created the new layer on stack using Crl-C and Ctrl-V YOU MUST DESELECT THE GIRL or you blur filter will not work.
That is a LACK of depth of field! It should be called a 'Differential Focus' effect!
Wow, very helpful thanks!
