foxes88 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I used to be able to delete (erase) a background on any image and save it to my photo album with a transparent background. I can no longer do this with any of my photo editing / illustrating software - on any of my devices... Regardless, I am asking for help with how to do this on my iPad Pro 12.9 using Affinity Photo - I have tried, and it continuously saves with a white background no matter what settings I adjust/change etc. (So frustrated.) Your help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes88 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply but I have changed the image to a png before save/export and I still have a white background. I must have something set wrong somewhere, but what? Never had this issue before... Edited February 18, 2020 by foxes88 Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 How are you erasing background on your image and do you have canvas set to transparent?

You should see a checkerboard pattern after selecting transparent canvas. Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools…. Just waiting for Ronny Pickering…..
