I have used many painting programs and I have been using Affinity for a while and always understood that erasing things left a grey/white square block visual to show there was no colour or content to show at that point. However, today, working on a graphic in turn in both Affinity Photo 2.4.2 and Affinity Designer 2.4.2 I use the erase tool, the flood erase tool but with either I absolutely can not make the erased area appear anything other than white, despite there being nothing below the layer. I have explored the settings for if there's a custom colour to set for erasure but no luck. Web and forum searches also turn up nothing. Working on a predominantly white image this is extremely awkward. How do I set that running erase on any type of layer shows that when there is no content to show for that point on the image that it displays the usual grey/white square blocks rather than any block colour (in this case white). Thanks I think this has occured since the 2.4.2 update last week but I am not certain.

Hello designers, In this video i start from scratch using a pencil and pen, then take a photo of it and import it into affinity designer so we can make a vector version. You will learn how to trace an image with the pen tool and then create a background from all of the outlines and much much more. https://youtu.be/EYsoWbceM4w
