shiv90 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi New to using Affinity Photo from long time use of Photoshop. New problem I have encountered. I am trying to export a document that was scanned in and amended over with Fill and marquee tool to delete some elements on the original document. For some reason when exporting the document as a PDF all selections and edits that were made are showing up. Please find file attached.The PDF is the exported document and I have attached the AFphoto file too Thanks in advance for any help Thanks Shiv Floorplans for HMO.pdf Floorplans for HMO.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted July 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi @shiv90, Welcome to the forums. When you deleted the background, you filled it with white. But the paper it's not fully white. Hence the colour difference. I suggest you add a levels adjustment just above the image pixel layer and crush the white level to about 90% or a level that will get rid of the background. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv90 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi @GabrielM I have tried at multiple levels starting off at 90% and towards 60% the boundary lines for where the marquee cuts were made are just as apparent at each level. When exporting as JPG its not an issue at any level only as a PDF does this problem occur. Thanks Shiv Floorplans for HMO.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiv90 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 @carl123 Thanks Carl problem solved. How do I change the background of the page to be grey and white check to show that it is transparent area as is shown in Photoshop?
