Andy Pearson Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 When I select a image in Affinity Publisher and export it as a .jpg file (transparent without background)...it adds a portion of the white background page to the exported image. How can I select an image and export only the selected image? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Pearson Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Please attached. there are three versions (test png.png) was exported from Publisher as a png file and still has the white background visible. (test export.jpg) was exported from Publisher a a jpg file and still has the white background visible. (Mapping God's Mercies- slide1.jpg) was exported from Publisher, then opened in Affinity Photo, cropped out the white backgrounds, and then exported back out of Affinity Photo as a .jpg file and it is perfect. Can this not be done in Publisher? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Are we discussing the entire image (Boards, compass and text) or (as I assumed) just the text with its boarder/box? If the image of the boards has a white boarder then I think you may be out of luck. I hesitate to offer more advice without knowing how the image is made.

Staff Dan C Posted November 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 5, 2020 Thanks for your document! I can see the reason for this, it's caused by the Black Rectangle layer with FX applied. If you right-click on this rectangle and select 'Rasterise and Trim', then in the dialog that opens untick Preserve layer FX, you'll see that the Pixel layer that is created from this extends beyond the outside of your image, which is why you're seeing the 'white bars' on export. 2020-11-05 16-08-21.mp4 Unfortunately this is a know bug in regards to FX and clipping layers. I recommend using the above command (Rasterise & Trim, with Preserve FX off) on the black rectangle, then export your selection once again. I'll also be 'bumping' the dev log with your file now I hope this helps!

Andy Pearson Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 That is so helpful thanks so much. forgive my ignorance but what does "bumping the dev log" mean? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted November 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 5, 2020 No problem at all 1 minute ago, Andy Pearson said: forgive my ignorance but what does "bumping the dev log" mean? As this issue is already logged with our developers in our internal bug report system, when the same issue is reported again by a new customer we add your report to the bug log, which 'bumps' it with the developers - reminding them of the issue and providing new information or documents. This has been done, so our developers should hopefully look into this and provide a fix in the future, where possible!
