lifeofPI Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 In photoshop I can jump a selection to a new layer and save as a transparent png... I can't seem to do the same with Affinity...? what is the best way to create a transparent png from a selection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, hit cmd+D and you get the selection as new layer. Than export this layer. Keep care that "just this layer without Background" is selected.

lifeofPI Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Cmd J in Photoshop refers to duplicating a layer... why "jump" a layer instead of duplicate a layer? I don't know. The keyboard shortcut cmd j does work and I can duplicate a layer from a selection... not sure what was going on when I tried to do so the first time... evidently cmd d also duplicates a layer ... thanks for responses... I have photoshop on my iMac Pro but use a mac mini most of the time and have Affinity installed... Affinity is good for small projects and I can use on the mac mini ... but having to learn my way around.. tools, short cuts etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not generally, only on my system, cause i have replaced this action to this shorty and forgotten in answer: this ist not default.
