JulieZentangle Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi there. I'm a complete novice to Affinity Photo and Affinity Design so please bear with me! I'm trying to remove the 'Paper' background to an ink drawing I have done. I want the design to be recreated for a screen print on a t-shirt but I cannot get 'just' the design. Any help would be gratefully received! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi JulieZentangle, Welcome to Affinity Forums With the layer selected go to menu Filters ▸ Colours ▸ Erase White Paper. In case you want to set the background of your document to transparent go to menu Document and tick Transparent Background.

JulieZentangle Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 It didn't seem to work! What am I doing wrong? I've tried the Flood Select tool also to remove the image like it was cut out, but thats a bit hit and miss. The programme seems to sometimes work and not other times. Frustrating.

Besli Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 My flood selection tool and background removal tool are not working at all? Of course it happens when I have a project - any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check whether it shows as a ‘Pixel’ layer or an ‘Image’ layer. If the latter, right-click the layer in the Layers panel and choose ‘Rasterize’ from the context menu.
