Hi- Michal Pacalaj

I joined that page when it was first created. I would love to see more participation on it. I included the link below which will take people right to the page so they can join.

Feel free to share the group as a separate post in the main Pixelmator Pro forum along with the link — people won't necessarily be able to find it here as easily. :wink:

Doesnt work for me . I took a pic in live focus on my samsung galaxy. It is the portrait mode for andriod. But when i import it, there is no gray mask. I can add a mask which shows up in white. But when i follow the other steps, with mask enabled, i dont see the imported background.

Please don't put tutorials out like these if this only works for a specific phone and a specific type of photo. Very misleading representation of your software.

Adnan, that definitely was not our intention, apologies (although the description does say this is for iPhone portrait photos only). We'll keep this in mind for future tutorials, though.

One of the most important features is to be able to replace the background, like "green background" with any background we want, that is kind of basic, and for sure this tutorial is missing.
