Heal and Remove Objects in Affinity Photo

On this video, Howard Pinsky shows you how you can heal or remove blemishes using the (currently free) beta of the Affinity Photo software.

In this tutorial Pinsky shows how to use the blemish tool to remove blemishes using the new Affinity Photo software (which you can download as a free beta for MAC from here). The second tool is called the inpainting tool which work in a bit of a different way. Finally Pinsky shows how the healing brush works (which seems to be very similar to Photoshop (we would even dare say that in some cases that even better).

If you are into Adobe alternatives – you might want to read our quick review of Mylio – an alternative to Lightroom, we published a few months ago.

You can check out more of Pinsky’s videos here on LensVid as well as many more Photoshop related tutorials on  LensVid’s Photoshop section. As always you can find many image editing related videos on LensVid’s Photo editing section.

  1. After downloading Affinity Photo 1.4.2 to my iMac on OS x 10.10 for a 10-day free trial I’ve been unable to find a User Guide, so I’m grateful to have the advice here on how to remove objects from a photo. Unfortunately, I find that sometimes it works and sometimes when I try to go through the same simple procedure, it just won’t. Is this 1.4.2 version of Affinity Photo unstable?
