Designer Background swapping while retaining a labels, layout and design.

0 Upvotes

So I have a label that I have created with my logo in the center and a star burst around the outside of the logo. Then in the background, I have an image that follows the rules for the starburst and logo. Basically saying the background image does not interfere with or come into any contact with the logo leaving the logo, clean and crisp with the background flowing around the outer edges.
Every time I try to change the background and just the specific areas with an AI generated image or a picture I have to start completely over and re-create the starburst and logo in the center so that it appears correctly if I don’t, then the background goes behind the entire logo and image and shows up. Is there any way to make a template or direct AI with some sort of prompts so this doesn’t continue to happen?

Photo How can I remove the background between the hair?

I'm a relative newb, so I'm sure I'm missing something obvious -- be kind, please!

I had no problem removing the background in this pic, but then realized (as you can see in this detail) that there is still gray background visible between the strands of hair. Is there a way to remove that as well, without zooming in and painstakingly erasing every empty space?

TIA!

General Switching from Adobe to Affinity

56 Upvotes

As many others have already done I assume, I am thinking about switching from Adobe software to Affinity for my business. Creative design is an essential, but relatively small element of what we do, so the investment in Adobe software is quite steep currently.

I was wondering if anyone is willing to share some experience on the following:

  1. Is there a sizeable stock library available that can be used in creative design? A big plus of Adobe is the many stock images that can be used within our designs.
  2. Have you worked in small teams with the different plans? Is it easy to work collaboratively on projects, and if so what plan would be recommended for a +- 3 person team?
  3. Is the software compatible on tablet devices?

Any other insights are also well appreciated.

✌️

Photo Changing Pupils Direction

2 Upvotes

Hello I'm a beginner in using Affinity so I took a photo of a friend and noticed the eyes aren't looking directly at the camera, I figured I need to change the pupils direction to achieve my idea. Can anyone help me with what Process and the tools I need to make the pupils look at the camera?

(Also if you're asking why not just take another photo shoot, I can't because this was taken days ago and my friend is on a trip)

Publisher Multi-page spread - is there a limit?

3 Upvotes

Pretty sure this doesn't violate the "technical issues" rule...

I'm working with multi-page spreads and believe I have run into a limit. To make my current data merge work, I need to have a 19 page spread.

System won't let me create a spread with more than 16 pages. I have searched this sub-reddit and found nothing. The "help" section in the app discusses multi-page spreads, but doesn't mention a size limit.

Is this an actual limit? If so, is there a workaround?
