So sorry, I have no idea what that means, lol.

I have tried many ways but it never looks like the Pixelmator one.

@PippiL I've worked it out, I accidentally turned the background layer off in pixelmator which showed me why Affinity wasn't working as pixelmator does.

You need to have a white background, when you have a white background Affinity applies the lighten blend mode as pixelmator does, see image below.

Showing how Pixelmator will display the same as Affinity without the white background.

I assume you are using Affinity Photo,{ but you can do the same thing in Affinity Designer) if so you can use a fill layer (main menu at the top of the affinity app)  Layer > New Fill Layer  and fill with white and drag it to the bottom of the layer stack or simply create a rectangle filled with white and place it at the bottom of the layer stack.

You can make it easier by assigning a keystroke to create a new fill layer, I've assigned mine to SHIFT + CONTROL + F You can assign keystrokes in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts: see image below.
