Transparency on Export

[oderuyter]

Going up the wall, fairly news to Affinity, previously a PagePlus devotee - Had a fiew earlier bits of design export just fine but this one absolutly refuses to export with a transparent background, what am I doing wrong please. What started off as an inside joke tshirt design has turned into a headache!

Welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear you're having a problem.

What format are you trying to export to, and what export settings are you using?

One guess regarding the problem: You did not select Transparent Background when you created the document. If you change that (Document Setup, Color tab) does it resolve your issue?

Ah thats where the transparent background setting was hiding, thats EXACTLY what i was looking for, thankyou!

Strange feedbacks. To me this "Transparent background" checkbox in Document Setup... does not influence the export at all (luckily!).

I am able to export the .afpub with transparency if I set the 3 grunge layers to invisible (possibly just because the resource is linked but missing?)

To add a transparent background of  clipped photo, you can try this way:

Open image in Photoshop>Select the Pen tool from toolbox>Clip the exact edge>Select Path>Give Father>Cut the image layer (control J)>Hide the other layer>Select the image on Transparent layer> Save in Png/PSD/Tiff.
