Selection tool refinement


Recommended Posts

Hi,
 

I need to turn a company logo into a png file (remove background).
When I select the background to remove it I can't figure out how to also select some of the interior portions. ( Like the center portions of letters).I know this must be a very easy thing but I sure can find it.

Could someone help me with his?

Personally, I wouldn't waste any time on that. I would ask the source to provide me a vector version of their logo instead – usually that would be in PDF, EPS or Illustrator format. Then simply open it in Affinity and export to PNG…

In which format is the artwork that makes up the Company Logo? Is it Pixels or Vectors? How did you make this Logo?

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

If this is a 'flat' pixel (bitmap) file, most of the selections tools have a Mode setting in the context toolbar you can set to add to or subtract from the current pixel selection.
