[Affinity Photo] How to recreate this PS workflow

[popster]

As I am learning how to use AP after using PS for many years, I am having trouble duplicating a workflow I often use in PS. The description can be found on this page (it is marked as the appropriate answer): https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/21685/replacing-whiteness-with-transparency-in-photoshop

The steps as given:

1. Add a hue/saturation adjustment layer

2. Add an invert adjustment layer

3. Add a curves adjustment layer

4. ctrl+A (select all)

5. ctrl+shift+A copy combined grayscale result (*** Need equivalent command for AP)

6. create layer mask on original layer

7. alt+click in layer mask to enter direct edit mode (seems to work, but not sure)

8. past b+w image from #5 into mask (doesn't seem to work)

9. click on original layer and hide all adjustment layers

Result: fail in AP. White areas are retained and no transparent background.

With the image shown in that PS tutorial, in AP why not just:
Select Logo layer.
Filters > Colours > Erase White Paper.
And that’s it. Result attached.
