"Hi\n \n\n\n\tI know this has been asked before, but I have just spent the past two hours dredging the forums and have not found a practical answer to my problem.\n \n\n\n\tI have a photo of the Quiraing, on the Isle of Skye.  I need to separate foreground from sky, so that I can tweak their respective brightnesses.  Selecting and separating the sky is no problem, but when I apply the brightness adjustment to the foreground I get a really noticable halo along the edge of the selection area.\n \n\n\n\tI have tried all sorts of different settings in the 'Refine' dialogue, but nothing seems to get rid of the halo.  I've tried some of the techniques listed on here, but they are hit and miss because of the mountainous terrain in this image.\n \n\n\n\tI have also tried creating a sky layer, a foreground layer and leaving the original image ticked, but that makes no difference either.\n \n\n\n\tI'm sure there must be a way to do it but I'm fairly new to Affinity and cannot find it.\n \n\n\n\tI've attached the file if anybody is willing to take a look.\n \n\n\n\tThanks in advance\n \n\n\n\tIan\n "
