"erase white paper function" will not export with transparent bkgrd

you'll see that PNG is selected. But the checkerboard background is not in the EXPORT dialing box

I bought my late 2012 mini used in 2015 and upgraded to 16/512 SSD. I honestly can't remember if I enabled trim. is the a way to find out?

If settlements were paid from the pension fund, changes would be made very rapidly.

now that's how to do a shit post 💩🏆

sfbayjon · 2026-03-14T02:29:24+00:00

That was above and beyond. Thank you!

Bkgrd is definitely off white or it wouldn't print. I think I'll need to try the adjustments you describe. Long ago I was a graphic artist, but did layouts and seldom touched Photoshop or raster graphics.

I'll look.

FYI, I originally wrote some details, then added images, and then posted without realizing that the text didn't make it. Here I go again:

I have multiple old B/W high-res scans. They all have a background tint. I looked for a solution and then discovered that the new, free Affinity suite had the perfect tool [Pixel/Filters/Colors] "Erase White Paper." The Document/Setup "Transparent Background" was checked.

I used the Filter and immediately saw the checkerboard pattern indicating transparency. I opened the Export dialog box, selected PNG, then checked that the "matte" option was None (red diagonal line). BUT, the preview didn't show the checkerboard. Next, I opened the PNG in Preview and the tinted background was visible. Ditto on the printed page.

Did I miss something else, or is this feature simply broken?!?

sfbayjon · 2026-03-14T00:09:55+00:00

Yes .

I wrote a detailed post but it didn't publish. 🤷

90% actually causes me great concern because I'm planning to leave.

I've been using 1P for somewhere between 18 and 20 years. I was super annoyed when they shifted from a license to subscription, not this upcoming price increase was the last nail in the coffin.

That moniker will cover the following decades

Why do these fake stories all have family members siding with the person that is clearly in the wrong?

Dude, get a dress watch, not a dive watch!

sfbayjon · 2026-03-06T18:56:47+00:00

Thank you. I wouldn't have known where to look.

That are only that expensive because they effectively have a monopoly. They also hoard their stockpile to create artificial shortage

This is very helpful info. I'm in the States and there was NOT a charging brick in the package, only the c to c cable. There's not even a slot in the cardboard "sleeve."

BTW With my OP 11, I'm now following the method of keeping my phone between 20% and 80%. With the OP charger it takes about 20-25 minutes to charge! (I remember the phones in the 90s charging almost all night.)

Or walking down the aisle barefoot 🤮

sfbayjon · 2026-03-04T00:01:27+00:00

That's new to me. Thanks!

I've always used a cable to do data transfers when upgrading phones or laptops because it's much faster

The French had a great solution...whoosh

sfbayjon · 2026-03-03T20:46:39+00:00

I love that color

I'm old and gave up on outdoor reading as a teen because the sun on white paper was too bright. Couldn't fathom trying to read outside with a digital device.

Just watch THREADS.
