Edit: Remove Background doesn't allow to save with transparency

In the Edit module, there is an option to remove the background. This appears to only enable replacing the background rather than allowing a transparent background to be saved. When downloading, it's already a PNG instead of a JPG, so it seem that the intent was to enable a cutout function.

For this to be really useful to Express, we need to be able to send over a subject with a transparent background. Otherwise the feature is pretty much useless.

Please enable downloading of a PNG with the background removed.

Agreed @The Scott Valentine ,

A workaround for me atm is pop it into Ps and use select subject to remove the bg.

Happy making

@The Scott Valentine that is not currently possible in Firefly however, it is a highly voted-for idea. Please add your vote to this post: P: Trasnparent background or layers

Done - thank you! It's easy enough to d/l the full image and do the work in PS directly, but it seems odd that the main Firefly d/l is JPG, but after using the Edit features you get a PNG with a different file name.
