tom Posted November 21, 2014 Share 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 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi Tom, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Go to File -> Document Setup... and check Transparent Background in the color section.

tom Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 27, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 27, 2014 How are you transferring the Photoshop layer to Affinity? Select all and then copy/paste? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjaminduall Posted July 15, 2015 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safoster71 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 that appears in Designer under the file menu, not Photo , just a fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 15, 2015 Staff Share 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.
