Hello, I'll be grateful for any help I really struggle to get to grip with a very simple set of editing requirements... I've done a set of watercolour illustrations that I need to digitally cut out and separate from their watercolour paper background, and then save to send of to the printers.

I've worked out from YouTube how to use the lasso tool to isolate the image and put in a transparent background but then I'm stuck. I tried pressing 'save as' but that just saved the whole thing including the editing suit???

Hi,

if you already isolated the image and removed the paper background, so the Affinity document background is now transparent and you want to save the resulting image with transparency, then use the " File -> Export" menu to export the document as a JPG/PNG bitmap/raster file. In order to preserve the transparency (shine through background) use PNG file format.

☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

Please excuse my bad english. I learned it at school over thirty years ago. If you don't use it (regularly), you'll loose it.
