davidbdeath Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I have a render from Modo. Affinity Photo reads the alpha and makes the my environment aka background invisible. I have tries targa, png and tiff. Photoshop and gimp both handle the alpha properly. This program is consistent between both my Mac Book Pro and my Windows 10 PC.

Staff MEB Posted April 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hi davidbdeath, Welcome to Affinity Forums Go to the Channels panel, right-click the Background Alpha (not the Composite Alpha in the Composite section, but on the section below- scroll down a little if needed) then and select Fill. If you want to keep/save the channel before filling it, right-click the Background Alpha and select Create Spare Channel. You should now have a new Spare channel on the bottom of the Channels panel with the same data from the background channel.

davidbdeath Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 HI MEB, Thank you for being helpful. I was reporting what appeared to be a bug. If it is a design choice, I suggest a redesign. A task in GIMP should never be more intuitive or fewer steps than paid software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hi davidbdeath, Sorry. Yes currently Affinity loads the TIFF file with the alpha applied. This is already logged to be looked at. I've bumped the report to bring it to devs attention. Thanks for keeping at it. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
