PICTURE TRANSPARENCY TOOL ?


Recommended Posts

To all,

 

Still trying to learn AFFINITY DESIGNER from SERIF PAGEPLUS ver-X9.

 

What is the equivalent AD tool that SPP has called the PICTURE TRANSPARENCY TOOL. In essence, if you imported a picture with a background colour, this tool would show that picture in pop up window & you could click around the picture area to be transparent. How is this done in AD ?

Over & out,

PagePlus also has a Transparency Tool 'wineglass'. The Picture Transparency Tool is quite different: it allows you to click on an image to sample the colour under the eyedropper cursor, and every pixel matching that colour then turns transparent.

Hello CJTADC1963,

 

Switch to "Pixel Persona", right click on the image, choose "Rasterize", the layer changes from "Image" to "Pixel", select the "Selection Brush" tool and pass it over the area to make transparent and do "Delete".

Only the part of the image treated by the selection brush remains.
