Transparency Tool

[P@trick]

Hello everybody!

 

Here is my question:  Is it possible to make a color transparent, the same way we can do it with Pages (alpha option).  I have a background sky with an image over it.  I would like to remove the white part of the object.  

 

Just to be clear, I don't want my whole object to be transparent, but just one color on it. 

 

Thanks! :)

Hello, P@trick,

First, rasterize the image in the Layers menu so it is a pixel object. Now open up the pixel persona and take out the selection brush tool. With "Snapped to edges" checked off, brush over the white area. Before deleting it, click on the "Refine Edges" button. Once you find the setting you like, then delete the white area.

 

FYI, the transparency tool is something entirely different.

Thank you so much!  The funny thing is, later yesterday, I tried something.  I put my image in Pages, then I "alpha" it... and pasted it back to Affinity with success.  But now I will try the method you gave to me!  

 

Have a good day!

I don't know what programme you are using, but in Photo you can use Filters>Colour>Erase White Paper.
I find it very useful when I want to change a blown out sky.
