Affinity Photo – Pen Tool, Cutout, Selection, Adding a Background & Shadow

In this lesson, I will teach you how to create beautiful selections and cutouts using the Pen Tool in Affinity Photo.

The lily selection initially looks quite simple but it does involve a lot of curves. If you choose to try this you can simplify this shape as you work.

I have included a special template that helps you to understand and practice the techniques shown here. You can download it and practice how to pull out curves and edit them.
