Long time Indesign user here. Had Affinity for a while and keep trying Affinity products only to get confused and give up.

This new one has me stumped, am I doing something wrong?

In indesign, when I import an eps file or Tif. It has no background and I can colour the background of the box it goes into and the file inside is transparent.

In Affinity Publisher, not so. When I import an eps file or Tif file, the background remains transparent no matter if I colour the background of the box. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe indesign automatically creates a placeholder box and stores the logos in that, in Affinity, You may have to manually add the logos file to a placeholder box or create a rectangle, and make the logos a child of the rectangle, you can colour the rectangles fill to get the same effect?

40 minutes of faffing and one youtube later. There is a button "Called clear fill on populate". It seems on by default.

I am determined to give Affinity a better go but these little things do my head in as it's not obvious or intuitive, well to me anyway.

That does seem a bit obscure to me but I'm not a big user of Affinity Publisher, another lesson learned.
