It is just a background layer.

I have a logo that I want to edit different parts separately. In the image below, I want to leave the green hills with the black undercuts alone, but I want to change the text underneath to white. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I know this may be pud for someone who is experienced, but this is only day one for me on this program, with no prior photo editing experience. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What exactly is Rasterize? What does that do?

Got it, I was using JPG. I AM EXCITE!!!

How do I export it so the background remains transparent? I just exported it and the background was white.

You guys... I think I got it figured out! This is really a huge help! I run a small business and I really didn't want to fork over $10 a month for photoshop. Rip off if you ask me. This is going to save me time and money in the long run. Thank you all so much!

Is there a tutorial video out there documenting this? Can anybody here make one and post it to this thread? Thank you all so much for your help. I'm going to give it a try.

Let me be the first to say that I am in way over my head. I run a side business where I make signs for local companies. Part of that process is making concepts, where I lay out the design in a black and white image, then overlay whatever texture the sign is going to be over that image. In the past, I've outsourced this process but I want to do it myself as to avoid waiting on the other party. How do I do this? I have looked for tutorials, and I can't find any. I have attached an example of what I am talking about. So in affinity photo, how do I take the black and white image, make the white transparent, then overlay whatever texture of choice over the black? I had this image already outsourced.
