shanestensaas Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I am trying to remove the background from a picture in the form of a letter number (see the "e" in the attached photo) but I don't know how to do it aside from taking the "erase brush tool" and outlining the letter by hand. Is there an easier way? If so, please help!! I am using Affinity Photo 1.7.1 Thank you in advance!

shanestensaas Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi, thank you for getting back so fast. I'm still new to Affinity but I'm learning a lot! To what would I be adding the mask to? I hope I was clear in what I was wanting to do. I've added my .afphoto file of what I'm working on. help file.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
