FrankL0 Posted February 7, 2024 Posted February 7, 2024 Hi. I feel it's probably something obvious - but not to me it seems! I just can't remove the white background from the attached image. I have the image in Affinity Designer, Pixel Persona, Flood Select Tool. Then I press 'Delete' and - NOTHING happens! Any ideas please. TIA Quote

FrankL0 Posted February 7, 2024 Author Posted February 7, 2024 Hi Walt. Yes. When I press delete the image is deleted, not the background, even if I select 'Invert Selection'. Quote
NotMyFault Posted February 7, 2024 Posted February 7, 2024 Probably you need to rasterize the image layer. Then it will work.
