Affinity Generative Fill Tutorial — A Better Way to Replace Objects Than Magic Edit
Affinity Generative Fill Tutorial — A Better Way to Replace Objects Than Magic Edit
If you’ve tried replacing objects in Canva using Magic Edit, you know the results can sometimes look soft, blurry, or slightly “AI-ish.” Now that Affinity is FREE, and includes access to Canva Pro’s AI tools, we can get cleaner, sharper, and more realistic replacements by switching to Generative Fill inside Affinity — and combining it with layer masks for better control.
In this tutorial we'll do a full comparison of Canva's Magic Edit tool and the Generative Fill tool inside of Affinity including those extra steps you can take to get even better results.
