AZShimmers Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 I am new to all the Affinity programs. My search here and via Google hasn't offered a complete answer. I make handbags and post photos of them. I created a logo that is black on a white background. If there is a white background on the photo I can place the logo without issues. However, I would like the white background to be either transparent or a different color. I also would like to change the black design into a different color. I could use either Photo or Designer - if I know what to do! TIA Quote
Snoogens Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Hi! I have a similar problem, using a colored Logo on transparent background. I can change it with the filler to all colors, except white! Of course, white is exactly what I want (for use on a dark background) How can I turn my logo just white? Thanks! Quote

Can you upload an example file? to make any color transparent, you can use the blend range (cog wheel symbol in layers panel) and add a node at source at the desired lightness value, drag it down. firstdefence 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | MBP M3 Windows 11 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 | Dell 27“ 4K iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

Could you please open a new separate thread, and upload an example image? It gets complicated if we mix multiple cases in this thread. firstdefence 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | MBP M3 Windows 11 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 | Dell 27“ 4K iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

AZShimmers Posted May 26, 2022 Author Posted May 26, 2022 Thank you. Here's the logo in jpg. I think I need it to be png to have the transparency. I want to be able to put the logo on any of my bag photos. On this one I want to put it in the upper right. TIA. Quote
telemax Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 These are actions for Affinity Photo: 1. Select a layer with your logo, Filters > Erase White Paper 2. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Recolour NotMyFault 1 Quote Non-destructive Mask https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/150439-non-destructive-mask/Image layer & Pixel layer https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/146720-image-layer-and-pixel-layer/Brushes | Stars https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/135202-brushes-stars/

Transparency in your PNG would be a good & flexible way, also grayscale instead of RGB can be helpful (e.g. if you want to colorize it). But, depending on your goal, both not a must … here an example with layer blend mode "Add" + an "Invert" adjustment. NotMyFault 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
MikeW Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Alternatively, a vector version can be used. I don't know which Affinity applications you have. Attached is an Affinity Designer file that can be opened in any of the Affinity applications. Though it is an AD file, I opened it in APhoto, copied the group and pasted it in APhoto. It will need resized and moved around. It can be made any color. quirky-lady-logo.afdesign NotMyFault 1 Quote
AZShimmers Posted June 18, 2022 Author Posted June 18, 2022 MAJOR THANKS to all of you! It's taken a month for me to do more studying and begin to understand how to use Affinity Photo. This is the result -- MikeW 1 Quote
