claireemmabrydon Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Apologies if this has already been covered, I've searched the forum but couldn't find my issue. I've created a logo in AP using several layers, now I have the overall effect I want I've exported as a jpeg no problem all layers are visable although as expected I have the white square background. The logo is all inside a watercolour painted circle (actually a masked inserted image) so I also want to export as a PNG with transparent background, when I do this I lose the pixel layer that is the watercolour painted circle - it's like AP thinks that layer is part of the document background. So frustrating - I've tried so many different merge downs and rasterise, flattern... no matter what I try as soon as I export in PNG with transparent background I lose that layer *sob* Hopefully someone will understand what I'm going on about. I don't even know what the issue is to be able to search for it effectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Funny, when you drag "Night Sky" out of the group to the bottom it works also as PNG. Or else: Ungroup and group again.

claireemmabrydon Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 It still doesn't for me *wail* - I've also noticed that I can't drag the layers anymore the UI doesn't respond. I can still use the arrange buttons just no drag n drop. Have I hit a bug? Seems a bit weird it would also affect PNG exporting too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Please try again with the ungrouped .afphoto document or else take the exported PNG.
