Hey all,
I'm struggling to create and export an Alpha Channel from Affinity Photo (v1.7.1.404) to a CMYK .TIFF image.
The image has been masked out and I'm trying to make a named Alpha Channel to be used as a Spot Colour for digital print in an Onyx RIP (To be names 'Spot 1' which refers to a Spot White Ink).
Please see the attached screenshot for the masked out area which I'm talking about.
I've followed several other posts and YouTube/Vimeo video's and it's just not clicking for me.
The image will export as a .TIFF but it won't export an Alpha Channel no matter what I try.
Methods I have tried:
1. Mask out areas, on the 'Selection raster Alpha' channel, right click, and 'Create Spare Channel' and name it 'Spot 1'
2. In the layers under Adjustments, create and Channel Mixer and pull up the Alpha slider.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
