Joachim_L Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Select your elements you want to export, export and pick in the pulldown Area: Selection with / without background. Or maybe I misunderstood your intention? once2work 1 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Assuming you want to save a “marching ants” type selection, use the Channels panel and (with the selection active) right click on Pixel Selection and choose Save to a Spare Channel.
