spidermurph Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 When I paste a PNG from AP the transparency tool will not work on it. It is also blank on the transparency type options. I have tried applying rasterize but it made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 6, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi spidermurph, The Transparency Tool only works on Image layer types (look at the label between parenthesis after the layer's name in the Layer's panel). You are probably trying to apply transparency to a pixel layer. Image layers are a special layer type that retains all the original image data - you can think of them as embedded images -. They are created when you use the Place Image Tool (in Affinity Designer only), the File ▸ Place command or when you simply drag them from the Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows) to the canvas of an opened document. They can be transformed globally (rotated, skewed etc) without losing quality but they cannot be edited/manipulated at a pixel level. spidermurph 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
