Thank you one and all for your help and also the manner in which you provided that help - as in not making me feel stupid as can happen on some forums.

@loukash you are correct and no I won’t be going ‘premium’ and don’t have an account there. Thank you for that information however. We learn something every day as my old granny used to say.

Thanks @Ldina and also @NotMyFault for both your considered contributions. You have given me much food for thought. Fortunately I don’t come across this type of file very often.

This is a file I downloaded from freepik...at first glance it looks like a png file but on looking again it has the file extention of jpg! But this is the kind of file I am talking about...see attached. I have discovered that if you unlock it and drag it to one side you see another checkered layer below. Thanks Alfred. Edited: replaced image with link to same... freepik.com/free-vector/various-tropical-leaves-transparent-background_16460227.htm,

I don’t normally have any problems with png files and as I said I know that with the ones (few though they be) that come with an attached checkered background I can remove said background in free online facilities. It can also be done within the full Photoshop but I don’t have Photoshop. I take it that there isn’t a way of doing it then within Affinity unless it came in PSD format.

I have downloaded a couple from freepik.com Alfred.

Some downloaded .png files come with a checkered background instead of a fully transparent background. I know that there are online facilities which will remove said background for free but I wondered if there was a way of doing it within Affinity Photo or Designer. Thanks in advance for any help with this matter.

Sorry, I have just found the downloads. Off to get them now. Thanks again.

Thank you for your very quick response. That's what I was hoping but I don't understand where I am supposed to download Version two of the applications from as downloads for those have not been included as far as I can see in the downloads that came with the Universal Licence. Sorry if I am being stupid here. But where would I download Affinity Photo and Designer from?

I am confused. I have just purchased the Universal Licence during the Black Friday Sale. I thought I was also purchasing an upgrade from version 1 to version 2 but in the downloads I can’t see an upgrade for Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer anywhere. Where am I going wrong please. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

OK thanks both...@Wosven and @walt.farrell

Yes thanks but if I right clicked to modify the 'open with' app what do I modify it too?

Help please...I have somehow managed to associate the files found at this location %AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\user\assets.propcol with my Photoshop Elements software and I’ve no idea how to change them back again or what to change them too. Stupid I know! I’m on Windows 10 and running Version 1.9.2 Affinity Photo. Any help would be appreciated to get my irons out of the fire.

For some reason I was thinking it would be more complicated than that but that's fine. Thanks very much for your quick response much appreciated.

Please excuse my ignorance but I have searched for an answer to this to no avail. I have seen in various threads people who are having problems with an update to say, for example, Affinity Photo and saying they will roll back to the previous version...can someone tell me how you do that please.
