Playing With Serif Affinity Photo

I wanted to be able to abstract a subject from a cluttered background.

Started with:

IMG_2980

and after an hour or more experimenting ended with:

IMG_2980

I need to practice working with selections and layers as I seemed to spend ages going round in ever decreasing circles and back tracking through most of the things I had done.

    1. Adrian: The selection mask was pretty quick and easy. It was working out how to paste the selection on a transparent background which took me ages. I kept doing the wrong thing and having to undo and try again. Otherwise it would probably have only taken about 15 mins to mask, copy, paste, fill and vignette.
