I am trying to end up with just the black and white image on a white background. It will be published on a white page so I need the off-white background in the original art to disappear. I'm not sure I know what you mean by placing a red rectangle below the image - how does that tell me if something is transparent?

I follow the steps but the final imported image always has the background. When I select erase white paper it looks like it has turned into a PNG, but then the final image imported still has the background. Where could I be going wrong? I also select 'image without background' when exporting the PNG but when I insert the image it still has the original background that I am trying to remove.

I will be scanning original artwork in order to produce a book. We will be using artwork drawn using black ink. When importing the scans into Af Photo or Designer, is there a way to separate the image from the original paper background - and create a PNG of each image? The idea is to avoid having whites around each image which are different to the paper stock color. I hope this question makes sense!

Watching the tutorial below > at just after the 1-minute mark he does an "alt drag" to create facing page numbers. I cannot reproduce this. Could someone explain how this is done successfully? Firstly, I do not get a number when inserting page numbers as per the instructions. I get a hash mark - # I use the move tool to select the page number box then hold alt and drag to the right, but only manage to duplicate the # mark. The # mark does not slide along laterally, but is free of any snapping, so I cannot get it level. EDIT: Ah, I get it, I think. You now use Command-drag, not alt-drag. This works.

I don't understand your suggestion. "Select all the white line layers in the Layers panel and drag them over the blue triangle layer (not over its thumbnail but over the area on the right) to clip them." How do I drag them OVER the triangle? Do you mean above? This is how the layers are arranged now. Is there a video showing what you mean?

I need to get an outline to overlap some lines in a design. How should I approach this? I have been trying to create a second triangle to sit on the first triangle, effectively sandwiching the white lines between two layers of black. But if I select the white box with a red line through it - to remove the fill color from the top triangle - the outline also disappears.
