johnjohn Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Hi, There a graphic designer who has created many illustrations for me. I received five different files every time, among them ai and psd. When I needed to delete a background I opened either the ai or the psd file in either Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer, deleted the layer and saved the files. It took only seconds and I had not given it much thought up to now. Today is the first time, that I need to do exactly that since I installed the versions 2, and I cannot get this simple thing done. Neither Affinity Designer nor Photo show all layers and it is impossible to delete any of them. Just all or nothing. I could use the clipping tool, but to be honest I don't feel like it, it's a lot more work and I wonder if the simple solution can be found anywhere else than the layers menu.

Staff stokerg Posted September 24, 2023 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2023 Hi @johnjohn, Which operating system are you running Affinity on? Can you attach one of the PSD files and one the Ai files you are opening or upload them to our Dropbox here? I know with the Ai files, we do open the embedded PDF so that could explain for some of the issues you are having. I'll know more once i can see whats in the files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjohn Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hi stokerg, Thanks for getting back to me. I am using Win11. Attached there are two old and two new example. I just noticed that the old ones (alligator) are much bigger than the new ones (tiger). Could it be the new ones have no layers...? alligator.ai alligator.psd tiger.ai tiger.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
