How to Extend Backgrounds in Affinity Photo

@AffinityRevolution is it at all possible to revise this video tutorial in PHOTO V2

for some strange reason, when I try to duplicate what's selected on the Marque tool, it duplicates the entire layer instead, is there an option that's preventing me only duplicating what I've selected?

Very helpful tutorial! Thanks.

For some reason when I Ctrl+J it just duplicates the entire image and not the selection... Any ideas?

ctrl + j brings up my brush for some reason

This channel is probably one of the best I've seen as far as value provided. I'm a beginner at photo editing and design. I started with PS Elements and got some of the basics, but after getting Affinity and finding this channel, I feel like I have a lot more information available to me!

you should do ASMR with this calming voice

You guys are really helping me. I switched from Corel to Affinity. This is a great learning tool.

Thank you for these great tips on extending backgrounds.

Yes now i can do . thanks mam

Really brilliant and so useful.

Great video!

Thank you so much!

That's good, Ally!

I started with level one. In the beginning, when you chose the crop tool I only have an option for a vector crop tool. When I make the image larger, there is no commands in the context toolbar. It is empty. What am I doing wrong?

These tutorials are always a life saver. I love it when I need to come back!

Great Tutorial, but how to do this on the Ipad Version? Please comeback with the Ipad version tutorials too, pleaseee!! :)))

I was hoping Affinity Photo could extend the background! I'll be using this tool a lot for my book covers. Got to have a space for the title. :-) Thanks for showing me how!

Thank you for sharing!👌😁

Great tools. But what about using the Impaint tool under the Edit menu to expand sections of a picture and thus also usefull to extend backgrounds? I though you were going to use that one in method 3

I like your voice, the notes have a lot of musicality

Excellent video like always. My husband is a great fan of your singing. :-)

Nice use of the clone brush.

Thank you! Great tutorial, very well explained :-)

I am expecting content aware, but isn't :(

Ok, I don't know what kind of voodoo or dark magic you guys do but how the blazes did you know I actually needed to know how to do THIS in order to finish a project yesterday???

I love you, guys. You always save my skin with your videos.

Thank you. Affinity has been one of the best software purchases I ever made. Thanks for offering an alternative to Adobe.

hola mundo

Thanks a lot for your great videos and your amazing job 😀

great video, thanks this is really useful. I also enjoyed your accent :D

Ahhh..., your tutorials are spot on - making tasks like these a breeze. Thrilled to admit, that other than my browser and email client, Affinity Photo is the one application I use every day.

Super handy, Thank you!

Thnxxxx 😀👍🏻

Thank you for this excellent vid.

Thank you - your tutorials are always so helpful

Amazing... super easy.

Another great tutorial Ally and Ezra. The value you two pack into each video is really amazing

Great video - thanks for showing

For option 3, I thought you could use the Patch tool as well to maintain the lines. But still a good lesson.

Great tutorial!

On the level 3 example when using the clone tool, how did you get the sample point to stay at the starting point and not move to the left with the tool (but then move with the tool as you paint in). I'm using the Windows version, so there may be additional things you can do on the Mac. Any help will be great - thanks

In some cases I suppose mirroring parts of the background could also be an option.

Affinity is soooooo bad software when you need inpaint background :/

Thanks for sharing. You are awesome

Affinity needs to add content aware fill like photoshop.

Thank you for this important tutorial, it is also the open door to another kind of creation... ;-)

Sincere thanks for demonstrating the clone tool. All the Affinity video tutors and their tutorials make the Affinity experience understandable, enjoyable and inspire experimentation and creativity.
