Invictus Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Dear Affinity Team, Would it be possible to have a tool that automatically removes the background changing it to transparent by exporting it to a PNG file please? Many thanks. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderings Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 you mean automatically detect white and make it transparent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invictus Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 No, it doesn't have to be a white background it could be any colour. This is a two-click technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to have this simplicity obviously but think it will take some time and R&D before this filters down. It would kill the entire business if it could be done in Photos or Photoshop so I am sure they are guarding this pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just about everyone would love to have that but again I think this needs some big R&D to develop something like that. The site that was linked did this in 10 seconds. Now you could use this site and pay about a $1.95 USD for it. Not a bad price considering what you probably charge per hour and the time you could save. I have attached a low res image (free from the linked site). https://www.remove.bg Free to try, wth checking out. I know I will be seeing how it handles certain images in the future as it literally takes seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks. Nick I am completely on your page! Pixelmator Pro is able to do so with very good results, so I hope Serif is working on that feature as well! Makes background removing / selecting so much easier than selecting brush does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
