  1. Using Affinity Photo and there seems to be no way to select any colours other than grayscale.  I started the document with a black and white image which is why, I'm assuming, Affinity is limited to Grayscale.  In one answer dated 2018 User Kimwinona said: creating a new pixil layer, Document>Color Format>RGB   Stuck in grayscale - Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows) - Affinity | Forum (serif.com)  but Color Format does not seem to be an option in the document menu.

  2. EDIT: SALVATION!  So, I did flood selection tool > Select > Invert pixel selection.  Then > Selection Brish Tool > Refine > New Layer

    I then exported the new layer.  result!

     

    Hello, I'm having a devil of a time trying to export an image so that it has a transparent background.  The problem is that it continues to export with a white background.  I've tried 

     

    1. Starting new file, making sure "transparent background" is selected

    2. Exported as PNG file with -> "Area: Selection without background" selected (this seems to give me no image)

     

    The image that I'm working on is below.  I've used flood selection tool, then "invert pixel selection"

     

    When I export though...as a PNG file it still has a white background

     

    I've also tried

    3. Duplicating layer to creating a mask

    4. Creating a mask layer

     

    I'm pretty new to Affinity.  I've watched Lynda.com videos youtube videos, nobody seems to be able to solve this porblem

     

    Any suggestions would be most welcome.

  3. I frequently close the loop in the free hand selection prior to when I intend to.  This is frustrating because I have to start the whole thing again.  I've been advised that I can use the history tool to go back previous steps.  The problem is that the history tool (on my version) doesn't seem to acknowledge any slection points of the freehand selection.  It only acknowledges when I started using the free hand selection tool, rendering it useless for me as I it means I just have to go back to the start.   Are there any settings that enable history to record each point of the freehand selection tool?

  4. Hi.

    I'm a beginner to Affinity and I'm trying to sharpen up the edges of a logo.  I'm setting the image up with 300dpi as it will need to be printed (attached)

    * The "red PI in a circle" was imported as a PNG files and seems to pixelate at the edges. 

    *The text seems to be able to maintain resolution.   The blue "Active" logo seems to be able to keep resolution.

    *There seems to be a good video for Affinity photo, but my Affinity Photo has a bug so none of the tool icons are rendering on the app.  Thus if you could provide assistance on Affinity Designer that would be appreciated.
