Where is undo for fx and how to export with transparent background

[BabyAbyss]

Hi after watching tutorials on YouTube I’m seeing the undo arrow above the question mark bottom right of screen. However on my own screen there is no arrow to undo. Can someone please advise where the undo is on iPad. I’m currently playing around with the fx and I’m having to restart my project every time I’ve selected anything. Also, when I’m exporting my work in psd or png, I’m not getting the transparent background despite  my importing images with a transparent background. Thanks

You can use gestures, two finger tap to undo and three finger tap to redo. You can turn on the undo/redo ui indicators in Settings from the Home screen. You can turn off fx by selecting the layer, tapping Fx studio and sliding the on/off icon next to the fx you want to remove from the layer.

Which Affinity app are you using?

Would you mind sharing the file so as to get a look at it?

• Sure. I’ve written step by step how I did it and I’ve added photos of my selections in affinity photo and also the original jpeg of a blue ball I used and then the aletered jpeg, now png of the ball. I’m also using the latest version of affinity photo as I reinstalled the other day. I’m using the iPad Pro version from Apple market
• New document. Select transparent under the orientation. (See pic) Once work area is loaded I select ‘place’ from the command and pull in my jpeg photo. I select my picture layer then selected eraser-background eraser. I removed background from ball pic. I go to documents and select export. I choose png. Then export to cloud. Now I have a png of the ball with transparent background. I then went to my cloud and saved the image to my pictures. Then I pulled the photo of the now png ball photo into another app (sketchbook pro) and the image is a png with transparent background as intended. Bear it mind it is a roughly erased background on the now png as I used it just for this purpose for yourself. I’ve included images of the options selected in affinity photo, a image of the original photo of the ball. A screen shot of the ball after having background erased and an image where the new file was imported into another app so u can see the X drawn on a lower layer below the ball. And finally the altered image itself.

I'm not seeing an issue on my end when I attempt this. Do the attached PSD and PNG files have transparent backgrounds for you? 

Ball_transparent.psd

Yeah both transparent. Occasionally I’m pulling one out that isn’t and can’t remember what I must have done. I tend to export my work in psd as I use it in my illustration work. It doesnt  matter what image type I import, jpeg or png, once finished they have the transparent background. Are u saving your files in photos? Maybe that has something to do with it? 

[BabyAbyss]

The only image I attached with the transparent background is the one I renamed ‘transparent background’.  Fourth image down. U can see the bits I’ve missed as It’s a bit scruffy (not all cleanly erased) as it was just for you yourself
