Antiphones Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have an image of a map over which I have created another layer with vector based shapes. It all looks fine in Affinity Photo. However if I export this as a jpg the result is the vector shapes on a white blank canvas, the map is gone. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Staff MEB Posted July 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi Antiphones, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Can you attach the file or PM me a dropbox link to it to check out what's going on? Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentaxian Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 'Scuse me butting in here, but I had something similar - but then I realised that I hadn't flattened the image before saving/exporting. So I was only exporting the layer with the overlays on. On the main menu, the Layers menu has an item WAY down at the bottom, with no keyboard shortcut (shouldn't there be one there?) called "Flatten Image" which causes your new layer(s) to merge down into the background image. That then becomes a single image that you can save or export. Maybe that's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
