Change background color

[calisiaz]

How do you change the background color to another color?

Didn't anyone answer this question?

I also am surprised something as simple as this even needs to be asked but true, it is not as simple to find the answer as expected. Search for background color in the help file didn't work for me either.

Please would someone who knows give us the answer?

You mention "the blend tool" both here and in a couple of later posts. I'm not aware of a Blend Tool in Affinity Photo, so perhaps you could clarify what you're referring to.

@Alfred, it'll be the blend ranges curves in the Blend Options panel which opens when you click a cog button with tooltip "Blend Ranges" in the Layers panel.

 

Thanks, @owenr. That makes sense, now you come to mention it (and it explains why the sole of her shoe ends up with superfluous magenta bits in it).

(The tooltip should be "Blend Options", in my pedantic opinion.)

 

And in mine too, for what it's worth.

1.- Open the image

2.- unlook the background image

3.- Place a rectangle on the image base

4.- click on the icon BLEND

5.- Select the color of the rectangle in the blend panel

6.- Fron the right panel, move to the range desired starting fron the left point and unselect the "Lineal" option.

7.- Close the blend options and click on THE mask layer

8.- Select the mask layer

9.- Select the brush and put the Hard in zero<<<<

Now just paint over the primary image to clean...

Are there no instructions suitably worded for a newbie who's just purchased Affinity Photo?

Possibly the reason why no-one answered the question was that it was posted in the wrong place. Questions such as this should be posted in the Affinity on Desktop Questions forum  right at the top of the forums page.

It does show how forgiving forum members are that several have helped answer this question even in a thread that is several years old!
