Removing Objects
Let’s start with the first and perhaps most commonly used trick: removing unwanted objects. If you have a distracting element in your image that you want to get rid of, you can achieve this in just a few clicks. With the object removal feature, you can significantly speed up the process while maintaining the quality of your image. Make sure to set your selection precisely for the best results.

AI-Powered Editing
Another noteworthy feature of Affinity Photo is AI-powered editing. If you are struggling with complex object blending, you can utilize the intelligent AI algorithm that takes the tedious work off your hands. This makes the removal of overlapping objects not only easier but also faster.

Painted Effect
Do you want to create a painted look for your image? With Affinity Photo, that's also not rocket science. By combining noise and blurred masking, you can generate this fantastic effect in just a few steps. Experiment with the sliders to find the perfect look for you.

Black and White Effect
A great effect to experiment with is the black and white effect. With a simple click, you can transform your image into a masterpiece that looks as if it was drawn with a pencil. Use the various filters and settings to play with contrasts and textures.

Color Accentuation
Another effective trick is color accentuation. If you want to highlight a specific area of your image, you can easily do that. Select the areas that should remain colored while converting the rest of the image to grayscale. This way, you can achieve impressive visual effects in just a few minutes.

Time Management
