ToreB Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 In another graphics software I own (Photoline), it is possible to perform something called "color to transparency". This function lifts off opaque color (including of course black) from the selected base color of the image (typically white) and makes them transparent (similar to an transparent in an overhead viewer). Corel Painter has the same function but calls it "lift layer to watercolor layer" as far as I remember. I have been trying to do this in Affinity Photo without luck. Is this an existing function, that I just can't find, or is it something to put on the wish list for Affinity Photos to come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medical Officer Bones Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 In Affinity Photo a similar function is available, but only to remove white (or black when the image is inverted first). You'll find it in Filters-->Colors-->Erase White Paper. It is, however, quite limited compared to PhotoLine's Color to Transparency function in regards to options and control, and in Affinity this is a destructive filter (PhotoLine's version of this filter is non-destructive and can be stacked, if required).
