I have a document I created. Right now it has a white background I want to make transparent. In Affinity Photo there is a checkbox I clicked to remove the background. I don't see that feature in AD. How do I export with a transparent background?

Awesome. You just made my day.

I thought there was an Affinity Designer forum but Im not seeing it now so I hope this is in the right place. I've drawn a circle in AD and am typing text on it. Problem is, the text is upside down. How do I flip it over so it's above the line? Thanks

I switched over to Designer. Downloaded it yesterday so I could follow the training better. Im still trying to duplicate what you've shared above so thanks.

Can I just use the Donut draw feature?

Thanks. Which videos show how to make arrows that are following a full circle? Is there an arrow tool that allows me to attach the triangle to the end of a line?

Im looking for a manual for Affinity Photo but can't seem to locate one. Is there one and if so where can I download?

ok Im not seeing how to convert to a donut...is there a manual anywhere?

assuming I can do this in Affinity Photo?

very cool. Will try. thanks

that would explain it! thanks

No. Using a powerbook Mac

Yes, here is a screen cast http://www.screencast.com/t/OIhGGGVMv3

MEB, is there a trick to getting the small wave? I have everything I can think of after drawing a circle and it never comes up.

Im trying to create a diagram that is like a large circle only with the circle being made up of 3 arrows pointing clockwise. I don't see a "Tool" image that does this so I was wondering if anyone has a technique to do this? They are going to be "fat" or wide arrows where I will have text following the same contour inside the image. I have another post on how to get the text to follow the same contour. Thanks for any assistance in learning how to do this. Thanks

I have a circular diagram I am creating and want to type inside on a line that follows the same contour. Is there a video on how to do this anywhere? Thanks Ed

thanks

hi I took an image with a green screen background and removed the green with the selection bruch tool then did a mask layer. Now how to I touch up the edges around my hair where the green is still bleeding through? If there is a video on this I'd love to watch it. Thanks

Not sure I ever replied to this but it worked. Thanks a lot.

How in the world would I locate the artifact in Affinity Photo?

Does anyone know if this plugin will work with Affinity Photo? http://www.psdcovers.com It's a plugin for Photoshop

I'm getting a large block of space when I export a logo. It was originally created in illustrator. When I open it in Affinity Photo it looks fine (no added space above) When I set the Transparent background choice it looks fine. But when I export as a png or jpg I get this large space above the object. I'm using the latest version of APhoto 1.4.1 Here is what it looks like http://www.screencast.com/t/hJhcRi427s Thanks for any clues as to why this is happening. Ive attached the original file as well Martial Arts Basics Logo On Light.ai

you made my day. I didn't know about that Transparency selection in the menu...

I need a logo to upload to a membership site. I have the file in many formats but can't seem to get the background removed. Ive selected both EPS and PNG files to test but have no luck. When I export they still have the white background. Even when I select Export > Lanczos 3 > Selection without the background Im still getting the white. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Re: Affinity Photo Im trying to create a circle with a check mark going through it. My thought was to use a circle and a Zapf Dingbat font that creates a check mark. But when I choose that font all I get is a black square. Does Zapf Dingbats work? Am I doing something wrong? Shows in my Font Book it's active. Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks
