tom Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Hi all, If I drag an EPS into an existing file, or a layer from Photoshop with transparant areas, the imported graphic always has a white background that fills the bounding box (so my transparent areas are lost). If it's an EPS file I can edit the embedded document by double clicking, but when I return the graphic still has a white background. What am I missing? Cheers!
Staff MEB Posted November 21, 2014 Staff Posted November 21, 2014 Hi Tom, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Go to File -> Document Setup... and check Transparent Background in the color section. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
tom Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Great, thanks for that. It worked for the embedded document, but it didn't work for a transparent image dropped in from Photoshop. Should it?

benjaminduall Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Hey, can't find "document setup" in the file menu — how do I change from a white to a transparent background? thanks!
safoster71 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 that appears in Designer under the file menu, not Photo , just a fyi
Staff MEB Posted July 15, 2015 Staff Posted July 15, 2015 Hi benjaminduall, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) I'm afraid there's no way to do it currently if you create a new document and don't set it as transparent immediately in the New document dialog. This is not a problem if you open an image/photo directly since the background is left transparent. Unless i missing something here :unsure: I will check this out.
