Cut Out War - Who's The King Of Masking - Affinity Photo - City Sky Line S1 E1 In this tutorial series, I will be putting Affinity Photo up against Topaz Mask AI and Franzis Cut Out Pro 5. Episode 1 is Cut Out War - Who's The King Of Masking - Affinity Photo - City Sky Line S1-E1. As you know I'm a big fan and ambassador of affinity photo, but is there other specialized software out there that does not require subscriptions, that can cut out/mask out subjects and objects just as good or even better, faster, and creating the mask in a shorter time frame? This is what I'm setting out to figure out. I'll be putting Affinity photo up against Topaz Mask AI and Franzis Cut Out Pro 5 to see if there is one specialized software that is better than the all in one magical tool we love that's called Affinity photo. Both Topaz Mask AI and Franzis Cut Out Pro 5 are specialized software that the biggest part of what they do is simplify the cut out / masking process to make your life easier when you want to composite a photo. What I'll be putting into my consideration to find a winner, is the ease of use, how long it takes to create a mask (actual masking), how clean the mask is, and how long the masking process is (removing the background) This is Season 1 and it will have 10 Episodes, Will have 3 different pictures in varying degrees of difficultness to cut out / mask out. Each one of the software gets a go at doing their thing. At the very end, We will be comparing all the cut out's / masked images from each software against each other. Some parts of this video are 3x speed but the timer is included in the 3x speed. You can rest assured that the end time is correct. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ https://topazlabs.com/mask-ai/ https://www.projects-software.com/cutout My Rig: AMD Ryzen3950X AMD Radeon VII MSI Mag Unify X570 Noctua NH15D G-skill Trident Z 32gb 3600mhz RAM Sabrent Gen4 PCIe m.2-NVMe 1TB Startup disc (Win) Adata Gen3 PCIe m.2-NVMe 120GB startup disc (Mac) Rosewill Hercules 1600W FM PSU Thermal Grizzly-Kryonaut paste LG27UL500-W monitor Redragon S101 keyboard and mouse combo Coming soon: Catching_the_Cosmos. this will be a full series going from the very basics on how to shoot amazing widefield Astro-scapes, to the really complex stuff. ranging from, how I plan, what equipment to use, how to get ready, how to actually shoot, how to edit, what to do before exporting, and/or printing.

Affinity Photo tutorials with videos to get you started Experience smarter and faster photo editing If you Feel like Adobe products have become way too expensive and you can't afford to pay the ridiculous yearly fee to use their products, and the last couple of years there have been numerous updates that have given you headaches. Affinity Photo is an Awesome way to go. you get the almost the same if not the same Image processing power as Photoshop or Lightroom. for only $49 and it's yours to keep with free updates as long as it's the same version number. Don't get me wrong, I still love adobe photoshop and lightroom, but I don't like paying $120 a year just for those 2 programs. if they added Adobe reader DC full version and Audition media encoder that might be a reasonable price to pay. Things are called a little bit different than PS and you going to have to amend your workflow a little since they can not copy exactly what PS is doing.
